| Chile, Argentina & Brazil Tour Introduction 9 to 22 January 2006 |
In January 2006 we went on a two-week forty-person group tour of Chile, Argentina and
Brazil organized by SmarTours.
From New York we flew to Santiago (Chile) for a couple of days. Then a flight of about
600 miles (950km) further south to Puerto Montt in the Chilean lake district. We then
spent a day crossing the Andes by bus and lake-ferry to the Argentinian mountain resort
of Bariloche for a couple of days. From there we flew to the Argentinian capital of
Buenos Aires for a few days, followed by a flight to Iguasu Falls on the border between
Argentina and Brazil, then a flight to Rio De Janeiro for a few days, ending our two-week
group tour.
Our route for this trip is shown on the map below.

Hope that information is more accurate than it was for Iraq.
To the group tour outlined above Virginia and I extended our trip by adding two weeks on
our own in Southeastern Brazil, to be described later in a separate section of this website
