Iguaçu : Water Thunder at the 3 Borders

You will discover the Iguaçu Falls by walking along the different footbridges of the national park and also from the sky during a helicopter flight over the site.
12 - 14 Feb
Buenos Aires: The Queen of Tango
In a flash, we arrive in Buenos Aires, the most European of American capitals. You will walk in the footsteps of Evita, in the Recoleta district before discovering the historical centre of the city with its main monuments and the colourful charm of La Boca.
In the evening, you will be seduced by the passion of the Porteños during a tango show accompanied by wines from the highest and southernmost vineyards in the world.
14 Feb
Falkland Islands: Confetti of Empire
Our break in the Falkland Islands will be an opportunity to discover the nature of this isolated archipelago, confetti of the British Empire and witness to the geopolitical stakes of the region.
14 - 16 Feb
El Calafate: The Glaciers of Patagonia
We extend our Argentinean stay in Patagonia. El Calafate will open the door to Los Glaciares National Park where you will embark on a cruise on Lake Argentino, sailing between the icebergs to the famous Perito Moreno glacier, named after Francisco Moreno, naturalist and geographer.
16 - 17 Feb
Easter Island: Meeting the Moai
Our plane will then take us to one of the best kept secrets of our planet, 164 km² of volcanic land in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, the mysterious Easter Island. Here, the oral tradition is alive and well, passing on the history of the Moais from the Matamua to the Rapa Nui. You enter the vast Polynesian world.
You will visit the main points of interest on the island, from the volcano Rano Kau to Anakena beach and the ancient quarry Rano Raraku.
17 - 19 Feb
Santiago de Chile: Land of Poetry
Arrival in Santiago, in the "slim and slender homeland" of Pablo Neruda, Chilean poet and diplomat; you will visit his house, now a museum, and you will dive into the history of Chile through his committed poetry..
19 - 22 Feb
Iquitos: Green Gold from the Amazon
Our plane will then fly along the Andes Mountains, which we leave to reach the heart of the Amazonian forest in Iquitos, Peru.
You will embark on a three-night cruise on the long Amazon River and navigate through the labyrinth of its tributaries to meet its people, its fauna and flora. In the land of howler monkeys, giant trees, piranhas, multicoloured butterflies where Man meets Nature's benefactor.
22 - 24 Feb
Havana: The Pearl of the Caribbean
Back on shore, we take one last bow to the New Continent before flying to Cuba for the end of our wonderful Odyssey. Under Che's watchful eye, you will visit the monuments of this island's eventful history, its museums and its bewitching culture.
Perhaps to convince you never to leave, Havana will unveil its charms but never reveal its secrets or those of its ghosts.

Our prices are payable in Euros (€) and are firm, but may be subject to revision, in accordance with the conditions described below and the terms of the General Conditions of Sale, and Articles R.211-3 to R.211-11 of the Tourism Code.
Our prices are based on the economic conditions prevailing in 2022, including accommodation, transport, fuel, taxes and the exchange rate of the US dollar and the currencies of the countries concerned.
Airlines, aircraft types and airports are subject to change without notice and are given as an indication only. Likewise, some scheduled stopovers may be replaced, cancelled or reversed due to security criteria or external parameters beyond the organiser's control and impossible to anticipate when the trips are published on our 2022 commercial media. The same applies to certain hotels and excursions that could not be offered in the end for reasons of force majeure. These services will be replaced by similar services at least equal to those initially planned.
The trip may be cancelled if the group does not reach the minimum number of participants required for the type of aircraft. In the event of cancellation of the trip due to lack of participants or a significant increase in the price of the trip due to the exchange rate or to the increase in particular of taxes or oil, the customer will be informed at the latest 30 days before the departure. The client will have a period of 8 days from receipt of the notification to accept the new proposal or to request the cancellation of his registration, which will result in the reimbursement of the sums paid by the client, however, no compensation can be claimed.
In the event of cancellation due to force majeure, the client may not claim any compensation. Force majeure is characterised by the unpredictability, irresistibility and exteriority of the event that prevented the execution of the contract (C. civ. art. 1148).
In the event of voluntary interruption of the trip by the client, the latter shall not be entitled to any reimbursement, even partial, of either transport services or other services, the only exception being total or partial coverage by an insurance company depending on the contract taken out and within the limits of the latter only.
