Brazil, Argentina & Bolivia

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Brazil, Argentina, and Bolivia together form one of South America's most diverse and rewarding travel corridors, spanning tropical rainforests, sweeping Patagonian plains, and high-altitude Andean landscapes. Brazil draws visitors with the Amazon Basin, iconic cities like Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, and the world's largest wetland, the Pantanal. Argentina is celebrated for Buenos Aires' vibrant tango culture, the dramatic peaks of Patagonia, and the thundering Iguazú Falls it shares with Brazil. Bolivia adds jaw-dropping altiplano scenery, including the vast salt flats of Salar de Uyuni, colonial cities like Sucre, and some of the most dramatic mountain terrain on the continent.

Atlantic to the Andes: Self-Launched Rio to La Paz

A self-launched version of G Adventures' 25-day "Atlantic to the Andes Experience" (trip code SXRL), running from Rio de Janeiro west through Ilha Grande, Paraty, Iguaçu Falls, Bonito and the Pantanal wetlands, then across Bolivia via Sucre, Potosí and Uyuni's salt flats to La Paz. You book the same hostels, the same public buses and the same local 4x4 salt-flat operators yourself — the falls, the wildlife and the salt flats are identical, the group leader and the mark-up are not. Costs below are realistic 2025 backpacker estimates in GBP and assume you're sharing dorms or twin rooms, booking falls and Pantanal tours locally or via GetYourGuide/Klook, and flying the two long domestic hops (São Paulo–Foz do Iguaçu and Campo Grande–Santa Cruz) rather than grinding it out by bus. Everything is approximate and will shift with season, exchange rates and how much caipirinha you drink.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Brazil, Argentina & Bolivia yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Find the most locally-hated tourist trap and go anyway, unironically, in a costume."
