See the sultry sights of South America en route to Australia with this unbeatable value flight. Flying direct to Brazil's vibrant capital - Rio de Janeiro - is the perfect starting point for this Latin American adventure. Spend a few days discovering the sights and sounds of the city, from the outstretched arms of the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue that overlooks the city to the lively street parties of Lapa and the vast beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema. Perhaps take a fascinating favela tour or get your adrenaline pumping with an exhilarating hangglide over the rainforest to land on the beach - a simply unforgettable feeling. 

From here you may wish to travel north to explore the sprawling swamplands of the Pantanal or journey deep into the Amazon jungle, or venture south to the roaring Iguassu Falls - some of the world's most breathtaking cascades. If you wish to see more of the continent you could join an overland tour to explore the surrounding countries of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador to name but a few - see our tours page for more ideas. Alternatively join an overland tour from Rio to Buenos Aires in Argentina, where your outbound flight to Sydney departs from. Argentina is a lively, beautiful country with an intoxicating energy that will not fail to charm you on arrival. Adrenalin seekers should head to the outdoorsy capital of Bariloche, while the vibrant university town of Cordoba is the perfect spot from which to explore the surrounding region with its jagged peaks and fertile hills. 

The capital city of Buenos Aires has a distinctly European feel, but with a definite Argentinean twist. Cheer with football enthusiasts in the multi-coloured La Boca district, explore the haunting crypts in Recoleta cemetery – burial place of Evita – and catch a street tango show before dining on the finest steak in the world. This exciting city will leave a lasting impression on you before you board your flight Down Under.
