Things to Do on a South America Cruise with Silversea Cruises

There’s so much to see in South America that it’s hard to fit everything into one trip, but Silversea Cruises’ excursions help you make the most of your time here. We recommend a visit to the beautiful Iguazu Falls, a trip to Punta Del Este to see the Ralli Museum of Contemporary Art and a whitewater rafting adventure in Puerto Montt, Chile.

• Iguazu Falls (Buenos Aires, Argentina)
  Take an extended excursion to the beautiful Iguazu Falls. These falls are approximately 1.7 miles in area and average about 275 feet tall. Here you’ll see amazing views of this renowned site, and you’ll probably also spot a rainbow or two in the mesmerizing falls.
   

• Panoramic Sao Paulo (Santos, Brazil)
  Drive from the port to Sao Paulo by crossing the Serra do Mar mountain pass. Once in the city, you’ll visit the Gardens of Paulista Museum to learn about Brazil’s history. Afterwards, you’ll enjoy a typical Brazilian barbeque lunch and then visit the Morumbi district of Sao Paulo. This is the most expensive area in Sao Paulo.
   

• Rafting the Petrohue (Puerto Montt, Chile)
  The Petrohue Rapids are found in the Vicente Perez Rosales National Park, which is also home to three volcanoes. The rapids are Class III and Class IV making for a thrilling ride filled with beautiful views of the forests, mountains and volcanoes. You’ll also enjoy a light snack before your excursion ends.
   

• Punta del Este Open Art (Punta Del Este, Uruguay)
  Pass by the beautiful Peninsula and Bravo Beaches, the Beverly Hills District and the Golf Park on your way to the Ralli Museum of Contemporary Art. This museum has works by Chagall, Dali and Miro.

  Head out to the Ipanema districts after enjoying dinner on the ship. You’ll have a reserved seat at the Plataforma nightclub in Rio. Here you’ll be in for a wonderful show filled with samba dancers in exuberant outfits with feathers and sequins. It’s like a little sample of the Carnivale festival.
