Southern Ocean Adventures: Falklands, South Georgia and Antarctica

Buenos Aires blends European elegance with a Latin American soul, and is often called the ‘Paris of South America’. With its  Belle Époque architecture, tree-lined boulevards, and vibrant café culture, the city captivates travelers. Beyond the scenic beauty, you can also enjoy world class cuisine here, from decadent steakhouses (parrillas) to avant-garde tasting menus in the city’s trendiest enclaves.

For lovers of art and culture, Buenos Aires is not only the birthplace of the tango but is known for its galleries, street art and  literature. Do not miss exploring its distinct neighborhoods such as the Recoleta district, with its stately mansions and iconic cemetery, as well as San Telmo and Puerto Madero that are known for their modern sophistication.

Puerto Iguazú on the Argentinean side and Foz do Iguacu on the Brazilian side are not just the gateways to the breathtakingly beautiful and awe inspiring waterfalls, but are also the nearest cities to the intersection of the borders of three countries that include Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. The highlight of this region is and remains, the National Park, with its amazing 270 waterfalls. The variety of beautiful sub-tropical flora and fauna found here are an added attraction to the tourists that visit from all over the world.

The southernmost city in the world, Ushuaia is an ideal place to begin cruising this majestic, snow-covered landscape. Ever changing climatic conditions, incessant storms, and furious waves reinforce the sense that this really is the end of the world. Enjoy great views of the Beagle canal and breath in some of the freshest air on earth.

Antarctica, our planet’s southernmost continent, has a string of superlatives attached to it. It holds the largest freshwater reserve on earth, accounting for almost all of the earth’s land ice. It is the coldest region in the world – its wind system ruling the entire planet’s climate, particularly that of the Southern Hemisphere. It is also the highest of all the earth’s continents. By far the most exotic vacation destination around the world you would ever visit, stunning photo opportunities await you around each bend. Whether its spectacularly white landscape of snow, icebergs, and glaciers, or its iconic wildlife of whales, seals, and penguins, each frame is sure to be striking. Home to the South Pole and set almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, Antarctica offers expedition cruises to explore its vast icy wilderness. Hauntingly beautiful, towering peaks beckon ardent mountaineers, while kayaking amid the freezing seawaters offers yet another adventure of a lifetime! Like all other grand elemental regions of this earth, such as the open oceans, vast deserts, or high mountain ranges, Antarctica too invokes a humbling sense of our minuscule selves in the face of such spectacular grandeur.
