feb 22, 2025

departure 7:00 PM

The capital city of Buenos Aires has an almost palpable pulse that resonates through every aspect of life. With architecture that blends the old world with the new, there's always a jaw-dropping facade or building to catch your eye, such as the iconic presidential palace, Casa Rosada or Palacio Barolo, designed to represent Dante's The Divine Comedy. The basement and ground floor represent Hell, while the first-to-15th stories stand for Purgatory, and the 16th through to the 22nd floors represent heaven. Outside, the city's streets dazzle with a kaleidoscope of sites and sounds, from bustling public markets and street performers dancing the city's famous tango, to graffiti artists and live plays and productions. Stroll through the streets and drink in the atmosphere of this passionate, beautiful city.

7 EXCURSIONS

Welcome to Sao Francisco do Sul, a living canvas of Brazil's vibrant heritage. This enchanting town, founded in 1504, stands as one of Brazil's oldest settlements. Located in the Santa Catarina state of Brazil, Sao Francisco do Sul has a captivating history that spans centuries; originally settled by the Portuguese, the town became a crucial port for trade and maritime activities. Its strategic location attracted Spanish and Dutch interests during the colonial period, resulting in several, rather bloody, conflicts. Take a trip to the town's fortress, Forte Marechal Luz, for a taste of Sao Francisco do Sul's strategic importance in history. Happily however, today life is much more peaceful. Cobblestone streets wind through colonial architecture, colorful houses punctuate the streets and everywhere you can feel the wright of the revealing stories of Portuguese and Spanish influences. As you explore, the scent of Brazilian cuisine wafts from local eateries, inviting you to savor a piece of culture. Today, it remains a living testament to Brazil's colonial heritage, offering visitors a glimpse into the nation's rich history and cultural tapestry.
