P E N G U I N S , FA L K L A N D I S L A N D S A M A L I A G L A C I E R , C H I L E A N F J O R D S BUENOS AIRES - VIBRANT HUB Argentina's cosmopolitan capital may be lined with elegant European-style architecture, but its soul is wholly Latin American. Influences from Spain, France and Italy all converge here, creating one of the Americas' most engaging and energetic cities. Our overnight stay lets you delve into its vibrant barrios, or neighborhoods, from colorful La Boca to fashionable Recoleta, home of the famed cemetery where national heroine Eva Perón is entombed. MONTEVIDEO - DISCOVERY AWAITS A relatively small city, Montevideo is a vibrant, bustling capital. While the downtown district is home to sleek, glass skyscrapers, among the modern facades you will find examples of art deco and neoclassical architecture. See the Rambla, which runs along the beachside communities, providing exceptional views. It is the perfect spot to soak up the atmosphere and witness locals fishing, taking a stroll or sharing tales over a drink. PORT STANLEY - MARITIME LEGACY Admire Port Stanley's colorful buildings that line its harbor, each representing a different architectural style. Discover the capital's impressive maritime history, learn about its British heritage and visit Christ Church Cathedral, the world's southernmost Anglican church. Get the opportunity to see dolphins, seals and orcas. The island is best known for its penguins and the antics of these birds, both at sea and on shore. CHILE - CULTURAL & HISTORIC GEMS Blanketed with green parks and set at the foot of snowcapped Andean peaks, Chile's modern capital, Santiago, is one of the largest cities in the Americas. Its impressive neoclassical, neo- Gothic, art deco and other architecture spans several centuries. Santiago's gateway, Valparaíso, is often compared to San Francisco for its many hills. And its Victorian-era architecture recalls 19th-century prosperity. With an overnight here, you have time to explore Chile's central coast.
