We’re going to Brazil and Argentina!
Some of the world’s most incredible scenery and interesting cities are in this region of the world. We will be flying to Rio de Janiero which is thought by many to be the most beautiful city in the world. The mountainous landscapes, pristine beaches sweeping views (from Sugar Loaf and Corcovado) make this a must see destination. We’ll continue by comfortable coach into Sao Paulo, Curitiba and on to the border with Argentina. We’ll spend plenty of time exploring the beauty of Iguazu Falls – the most stunning waterfalls in the world (and it’s not even close). These are over 250 separate waterfalls. YOU HAVE TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT.
We will fly from Iguazu to Buenos Aires and finish with three days in South America’s most interesting capitol city.
Along the way, we’ll visit LDS Temples in Rio, Sao Paulo, Curitiba and Buenos Aires.

Cancellation Penalties
We understand that you may need to cancel your trip for whatever reason. If it is 120 days or more before departure, all money will be refunded.

All other funds will be returned if cancellation occurs outside of 120 days. If it is within 120 days, we will charge you only what Webb Tours cannot recover. In some cases, we can recover all of it. In others, we cannot. Cruise lines, airlines, hotels and other service providers require funds in advance and have their own rules about what will be refunded once paid. We must follow their guidelines. For airlines, specifically, tickets are generally non refundable when purchased. However, most airlines will allow the value of the canceled tickets to be reused for future travel, though a penalty may be assessed to reuse the tickets.
