Santos, port city, southeastern São Paulo estado (state), southeastern Brazil. Santos, the longest beach garden in the world and largest harbor in Latin America. Having a coffee história, it is one hour from São Paulo capital. You can’t mention Brazil without thinking of the beach and the beach in Santos is bordered by a garden which is 5.3 km (3.3 miles) long making it the largest beach garden in the world.

 

This is the time to personalize your cruise experience—you can participate in any or all the activities scheduled onboard or do nothing more strenuous than lift an umbrella drink while reading a book poolside.

 

Nestled between the continent's two giants, Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay is the second-smallest country in South America. Punta del Este, or the 'Peninsula of the East,' is a charming city, a picturesque peninsula known for its beautiful beaches and beautiful people. This bustling seaside resort plays perennial host to international film festivals and yachting events and is home to global jet-setters. But in addition to its glorious beaches, glamorous casinos, chic boutiques and divine dining opportunities, Punta del Este showcases a plethora of cultural attractions and museums. Photograph the open-air art collection and iconic The Hand sculpture at Brava Beach, and peruse the collection of contemporary and surrealist art at the Ralli Museum. Just outside of town, you will find Casapueblo, a museum-residence artistically constructed to resemble a huge sculpture, which served as the home of one Uruguay's most innovative artists, Carlos Paez Vilaro. And for a bit of added fun, cross La Barra, the unique undulating bridge. Traversing it is like riding a mini rollercoaster!

 

Founded in the early 16th century, Buenos Aires was transformed from a colonial port into a cosmopolitan metropolis - the "Paris of the South" - by the cattle boom of the 1880s. As in the American West, boom was followed by bust. But that did not stop Buenos Aires from becoming the city it is today. With its air of haunted grandeur, Buenos Aires is a place of icy intellect and smoldering passion. It is a city where the elegant Colon Theater, one of the world's great opera houses, stands in counterpoint to the working class barrios that gave birth to the tango. Perhaps the city's enigmas and contradictions are best embodied by its two most famous citizens - the reclusive librarian and literary genius Jorge Luis Borges and the showgirl turned First Lady, Evita Peron.

Nestled between the continent's two giants, Brazil and Argentina, Uruguay is the second smallest country in South America. More than half of the nation's population of three million reside in the capital of Montevideo, located at Uruguay's southernmost point on the Rio de la Plata. Although small in size, Uruguay has proven to be big-hearted - the country is one of the most literate nations in the world while Montevideo is one of South America's most interesting and cosmopolitan capitals.

Montevideo is a charming city made up of 19th-century Beaux Arts buildings, parks, and historical monuments.
