Descending most of the way down and across the continent of South America, these two countries offer a dazzling variety of natural beauty to stun and inspire you. Horseback ride along the beaches of Uruguay before hiking into the Patagonian Andes of north Argentina. Ride this jagged backbone down to try your hand at ice-climbing on the imposing mass of the Perito Moreno Glacier. This is literally on the tip of the iceberg.
