You Honeymoon in South America: Uruguay & Argentina
A hidden gem never stays hidden forever, which only makes Uruguay feel even more like an undiscovered treasure. It’s often overlooked by tourists who travel to neighboring Brazil or Argentina, but the cities, beaches, and food are among the best in South America (anyone will tell you they grill the best parrilla around). Choose adventure in the remote interior or something more luxurious on the Riviera-esque Punta del Este. From Jose Ignacio, you’ll get a taste of Argentina's classic cultural flare in Buenos Aires and after journey to the incredible Iguazu Falls that link Brazil with Argentina. This thundering waterfall system has catwalks on trails inside the park for panoramic and up-close views of the falls.

Continue to Argentina, nowhere in the world does what Argentina does. Physically, it’s stunning, from the majesty of Iguazu Falls down to the glaciers in Patagonia. In between the two, get lost in a dreamy world of vineyards and gaucho cowboy culture, making sure to dedicate enough time to the capital of Buenos Aires. The city is so awe-inspiring that after a couple glasses of Malbec, you’ll be dancing tango in the streets. End this journey with a boom at the majestic Iguazu Falls.
