Argentina, Uruguay & Brazil

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil together make up one of South America's most diverse and compelling travel corridors. Argentina draws visitors with its dramatic landscapes — from Patagonia's glaciers and mountains to the vibrant tango culture and world-class steakhouses of Buenos Aires. Tiny Uruguay punches above its weight with the colonial charm of Colonia del Sacramento, the laid-back beach resort town of Punta del Este, and one of the continent's most stable, welcoming cultures. Brazil, the region's giant, offers everything from the iconic beaches and nightlife of Rio de Janeiro and the vast wilderness of the Amazon to the street-party energy of Salvador and the engineering wonder of Iguazú Falls, which it shares with Argentina.

Buenos Aires to Rio Explorer — Self-Launched Edition

A self-launched 17-day run from Buenos Aires through Uruguay's colonial Colonia and a working estancia, up to the thundering Iguazu Falls, then down Brazil's Costa Verde to Rio via Paraty and car-free Ilha Grande. You book the same buses, ferries and day tours yourself — Buquebus catamaran across the Rio de la Plata, long-distance semi-cama buses, local waterfall buses — staying in hostels, guesthouses and pousadas instead of Intrepid's group hotels. Costed for a solo backpacker moving on local transport, with GetYourGuide/Klook-style bookable options for the waterfalls and a shared ranch stay. Estimates are approximate and based on 2026 budget-traveller rates.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Argentina, Uruguay & Brazil 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: "Learn a completely impractical skill from a local — fire spinning, competitive coconut opening, whatever — and become weirdly good at it."
