Brazil/Argentina + Colonia, Uruguay

YOU JUST CAN'T MISS IT!

Beginning at Manaus, we travel up the Amazon river by boat to an Eco-resort enjoying daily jungle tours to learn more about the fl ora and fauna of the largest fresh water river in the world. Tour Brasilia, the unique capital of Brazil, then overland to the vast Cerrado plains where you'll be blown away by the scale and sophistication of livestock, cashcrop farms, and agbusiness sites. At Iguaçu Falls where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil converge, we spend a few nights of R&R with optional daily tours of the Falls and to Itaipu, the largest hydro electric dam in the world. Then, following 10 days in Brazil, get immersed in "Argentine gaucho culture" when we tour beautiful Buenos Aires, enjoy the incredible Senor Tango Dinner Show and a briefi ng at the Canadian Embassy on Argentina's agri and political scene. Our farmer / crop consultant guides will expose us to world leading "no till" cashcrop enterprises, as well as ranches producing the tastiest pasture-fed beef you've ever eaten. We tour Liniers Stockyards which establishes beef prices for all of South America by the marketing of up to 10,000 head daily.

From Rosario's port where soybeans are loaded for world destinations, to the typically-Argentine rural estancias near Pergamino, we will enjoy a true "gaucho" Spanish American ag-venture to remember. 

IF YOU DON'T HAVE TO HURRY HOME,

why not add-on a few days in Colonia del Sacramento, Uruguay by crossing Rio de la Plata via ferryboat from Buenos Aries. Most of the ambiance and stone architecture of the 1680's remains and this pretty town is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Relax at a small Inn and shop for very reasonably priced leather fashions.
