Ports
Rio De Janeiro
There can be few more stunning sights than arriving in Brazil’s unofficial capital by sea. Take a people-watching stroll along the golden beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. Ride a cable car high above the city and take in the twin landmarks of Sugar Loaf Mountain and Corcovado with its giant statue of Christ the Redeemer. Then seek out unique gifts with a difference as you shop the city streets that seem to ring with the rhythm of a samba.

Places of Interest
Santos
Santos initially became known for its important Port, which in the beginning of the 20th Century became the largest in Latin America, especially as a result of coffee exports. In the 1960s it was soccer’s turn, and the city became famous for being home to Santos Futebol Clube, the team where the 'King of Soccer', Pelé, played. Today, Santos is the largest city on the São Paulo State coast and it has excellent structure for commerce and services. It is proud of having the largest garden in the world: 5.3 km (3.3 mi) along the shore, with a bike path along the entire extension; as well as being one of the best Brazilian destinations for diving.

Places of Interest
Montevideo
Founded by the Spanish in 1720, the heart of Uruguay’s capital is home to some fine colonial architecture with beautiful 19th century houses and squares. Along the Rambla, the waterfront drive that stretches for 12 miles, you’ll discover sun-kissed beaches and sculpture-filled parks. Let yourself be tempted by several casinos, or stylish boutiques where suedes and amethysts are hard to resist.
Country - Uruguay Distance from port to City - 0kms Distance from port to Airport - 10kms Currency - Uyuguyan Peso (UYU)
Places of Interest Estancia La Rabida, Establecimiento Juanico, Plaza Independencia
Buenos Aires
This sophisticated Argentine jewel is the most European of South American capitals. Boulevards here are broader even than those in Paris. Nightlife beats to the pulse of the tango and bossa nova. Glamorous boutiques invite those looking for that special gift (leather is especially good value), while restaurants sizzle to the sound of succulent steaks.
