Things to Do on a South America Cruise with Seabourn Cruise Line

The continent of South America is filled with amazing experiences. You can take in a tango show in Buenos Aires, meet a pink dolphin in Anavilhanas and ascend to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain for incredible views of Rio de Janeiro. All this and more from the nearby comforts of your luxury Seabourn ship.

• Pink Dolphin Encounter (Anavilhanas, Brazil)
  Take a ship out to Acajatuba Lake where you’ll get to spend some time with the pink dolphins. The dolphins have a longer beak than typical ocean dwelling dolphins. When you visit these friendly creatures you’ll be able to feed and swim with them. Then you can browse local handicrafts made by the local villagers.
   

• Highlights of Santiago (Valparaiso, Chile)
  See the extremes of this South American city with colonial routes. You’ll first pass the Club Hipico horseracing track before heading to two palaces: the Presidential Palace and the Cousino Palace. Then travel the Alameda thoroughfare over the Mapocho River to the Bellavista district. Here you’ll get great views of the city and the surrounding Andes Mountains. Then stop at the Los Dominicos handicraft market where you’ll see artisans working with copper, wool, ceramics and lapis lazuli. During the tour you’ll stop for lunch at a local restaurant.
   

• Buenos Aires Lunch and Tango (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
  Visit the Recoleta, an above ground cemetery where you’ll see the mausoleum of Eva Peron, better known as Evita. Then you’ll head to San Telmo where you’ll enjoy a meal full of Argentine beef before watching a private tango show. The tango comes from the gritty streets of Argentina and is revered here. While you watch the dance you’ll enjoy a glass of wine, or try a few moves of your own.
   

• Fly Fishing on the Maullin River (Puerto Montt, Chile)
  Take a ride on the Rio Maullin, a river that can only be navigated by small boats because of an earthquake in 1960. The river is surrounded by lush vegetation making for some beautiful views. Then you’ll find a spot to drop anchor and fish for salmon or trout. The area is known for rainbow, steelhead and brown trout. During your outing you’ll also enjoy a snack.
   

• Sugar Loaf and Rio Highlights (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
  Drive through downtown Rio where you’ll see skyscrapers and beautiful churches, like the Candelaria Church built for Brazil’s independence in the 18th century. Then you’ll board a cable car that will take you to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain, stopping along the way at Urca Hill. Once you get to the summit, which is 1,200 feet high, you’ll have spectacular views of the city and the Christ the Redeemer statue on top of Corcovado Mountain.
   

• A Day in Punta del Este (Montevideo, Uruguay)
  On this Seabourn excursion you’ll drive through Montevideo with its monuments and buildings on your way east to the resort town of Punta del Este. This town is where South Americans head for a beach vacation. Races, rugby and tennis tournaments are all held here and people relax along the various beaches and neighborhoods like Beverly Hills, Portezuelo and Playa Brava.
