MONTEVIDEO, URUGUAY
MVD510PRE: COUNTRYSIDE ADVENTURES AT BALCON DEL ABRA -
NOVEMBER 11, 2021 | $1,599PP
3 DAYS / 2 NIGHTS | MEAL: YES
Start your holiday early by spending three marvelous days enjoying the Uruguayan countryside and
several adventure and leisure activities.
Located amidst the hills of Uruguay’s Lavalleja Department and 114 miles from the capital
Montevideo, El Balcon del Abra offers unique landscapes, superb comfort, and the charm of a small
posada with only eight rooms. A stay here combines fun experiences that have you rediscovering
nature and enjoying the best of rural tourism in Uruguay.
Day 1 - Arriving in Montevideo, you will transfer directly from the airport to El Balcon del Abra, nestled
in a well-kept, park-like setting, surrounded by trees and an unspoiled natural landscape. After
checking-in, get ready for your first activity, a wonderful horseback ride through the countryside. The
inn has a well-trained herd of American Quarter Horses and different types of saddles to fit every
rider’s needs. Your horse and the route you will take will be determined by your size and skill level.
Guided by expert horsemen, it’s the perfect way to relax and enjoy the scenic countryside. When your ride ends, bid farewell to your equine friend and head back
to the main house where there are ample and inviting spaces to relax alone or in the company of your fellow guests.
The comfortable and welcoming lounge with its eye-catching fireplace, features a large satellite TV and a corner with a panoramic window, invites you to
contemplate the landscape, read or share moments that you might remember forever. If you wish to pamper yourself and complete your well-being, book an
optional massage which in good weather, can be provided outdoors in the shade of a tree while you can listen to the sounds of nature all around you.
At mealtime, you will be treated to delicious homemade food produced with organic produce from the garden and accompanied by excellent wines. There is
also a covered barbecue area that offers the possibility of cooking outdoors.
Day 2 - Following a restful night in your comfortable accommodations, enjoy a hearty breakfast before preparing for your Day 2 activities. You can choose
between mountain biking or trekking (or if you prefer, just spend the day hanging out and relaxing at the inn). The topography of the area offers ideal roads,
paths, and circuits for exhilarating mountain biking. There are trails for every skill level and your expert guides who are intimately familiar with the area will help
determine the best routes. Should you choose the option of trekking, there are also a number of trails that vary in difficulty. From easy with no climbing, to more
challenging. The choice is yours and whichever you choose, amazing views and the possibility of observing some of the local wildlife in their natural habitat
await.
In the afternoon, perhaps take a dip in the large “Biotop” ecological pool that was built with the intent of offering the possibility of swimming in a totally natural
environment. Tables of varying sizes are available for you to have lunch or a snack outdoors if you like.
If you are still looking for more activities, there is 200-yard golf driving range which is free to players with their own equipment (clubs are available for rent).
Lessons are also available for an additional fee. And if you are still craving more action, there is an optional tandem paragliding adventure you can sign-up for
(cost is approximately $100 per person).
Day 3 - Your final day starts early with breakfast and then a terrific canoe ride on the Aigua River. Drink in the peaceful nature of the river’s environs as your
canoe slides through the quiet waters. Be assured your rowing is always done with a guide, safety equipment and radio communication. Along the way, do
some fishing and then pause for a picnic lunch at one of the small hidden beaches alongside the river.
After your canoe trip, return to the inn where you will gather your belongings and bid farewell to your hosts. Then board the transfer back to Montevideo where
you will embark the ship, no doubt filled with memories of a wonderfully authentic Uruguayan countryside experience.
Special Note: This tour includes a mixture of moderate to vigorous physical activity that can include steep inclines, natural and uneven surfaces. The majority of
the activities are not available to wheelchair guests or those with other physical limitations and require participants be in reasonably good physical condition. We

BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA
BUE501OVD: EQUESTRIAN GLAMPING ADVENTURE IN
ARGENTINA’S PAMPAS AND PATAGONIAN PENGUIN EXPERIENCE -
NOVEMBER 12, 2021 | $1,999PP
4 DAYS/ 3 NIGHTS | MEALS: YES
This fantastic adventure offers the unique opportunity of exploring the equestrian culture and
traditions of the Argentinean Pampas, followed by a magical stay in a lodge located on the
Patagonian Steppe, one of the great natural wonders of Argentina.
Day 1 - Upon the ship’s arrival in Buenos Aires, debark and enjoy a half-day city tour of Buenos Aires,
seeing many of its marquee highlights. After a stop for coffee, you will head out to Puesto Viejo, a
marvelous estancia located in the countryside approximately one hour from Buenos Aires. Here in the
midst of vast fertile lands, you will find the home of the gauchos. There are few people in Argentina
that are as romanticized as the gaucho, a rugged nomadic man who shuns modern city living for a
simpler existence. However, while the setting is decided natural and relaxing, this estancia is anything
but simple.
On arrival, check-in to your accommodation, a delightfully well-appointed African-style tent that features beds with comfortable linens, carpet, a bedside table,
towels, and a full private bathroom. Shortly after arrival, lunch will be served and afterwards, you’ll have the afternoon at leisure. Perhaps sit back and soak
in the peaceful ambience of this marvelous estancia or take part in one of the daily activities that include a shared horse-back ride, exploring the pine tree
labyrinth or doing a walk-about. Dinner this night is a barbeque held at the camp, complete with a lively folkloric performance. Later, relax around the campfire
and get to know your fellow travelers before retiring to your tent for the night.
Day 2 – Start your day with an early breakfast and then head to the stables. One of the experienced staff will share with you how they take care of the prized
polo and jumping horses that are kept here and then later, it’s your turn for a riding lesson. Whether you are a beginner or intermediate rider, by the end of
the activity you will be cantering comfortably with good balance, good position and most importantly, be in total control of your horse. For experienced
riders, there are different styles and breeds of native horses that will enhance your experience and you will be given the opportunity to switch horses with the
instructor if you like. Following your ride, return to the ranch for lunch and have the afternoon to again do as you please. Continue with another horseback
ride, go swimming at the clubhouse, go biking or birdwatching if you like. The day ends with another barbeque dinner at the camp and a final night in your tent
accommodation.
Day 3 – Following an early breakfast, you will check-out and transfer to the airport in Buenos Aires where you will board a flight to Trelew. Upon arrival, you
will be greeted and then make the 2.5-hour drive to the El Pedral Lodge, enjoying a boxed lunch en route. The lodge is located on the Patagonian Steppe in
Punta Ninfas, which is part of the UNESCO biosphere reserve. Built in 1923, it’s an original Patagonian farmhouse and its interesting history and collectibles
on display, make it pretty much a museum itself. Part of a unique landscape of endless pebbled shoreline, high cliffs, and fauna native to the area, it invites
guests to unwind and immerse themselves in the Patagonian experience. After check-in, the afternoon is at your leisure and you can take a swim in the pool,
go bike riding, visit the penguin colony, explore on foot, or simply find a quiet nook and catch up on your reading. Dinner this evening is served in a family-style
atmosphere and later, you’re invited to sit by the fire with your fellow guests and reflect on the amazing experience you’ve had so far before retiring for the
evening.
Day 4 – After breakfast, drive to the viewpoint of Punta Ninfas and spend time watching the colony of elephant seals, and then head over to the penguin colony.
Have fun seeing up-close the Magellanic penguins that make their home here and if you are lucky, you might catch sight of a Southern Right Whale. After
approximately three hours, return to the lodge for a barbeque lamb lunch and then it’s time to check-out and transfer to the port in Puerto Madryn where you will
rejoin the ship.
Rejoin ship in Puerto Madryn on November 15.
Special Note: This tour includes several days of activities that can range from mild to vigorous, primarily at the guests’ discretion. There will be steps, inclines,
natural and uneven surfaces to negotiate. The activities at both locations are not private to Atlas Ocean Voyages guests. The transfers in Patagonia are provided

PAMPAS - NOVEMBER 12, 2021 | $499PP
7 HOURS | MEAL: LUNCH
Catch your breath as you relish this once-in-a-lifetime adventure of soaring like an eagle over the
amazing Argentinean Pampas, the largest fertile grassland plains in the world.
Board your transportation at the port and make the scenic 90-minute drive to the Aerodrome at San
Andrés de Giles. On arrival, meet your pilot, receive a security briefing and information on what to
expect. Following that, you’ll climb aboard your two-seat, fixed-wing glider and prepare for flight.
A tow plane will pull your glider to an altitude of over 1,600 feet where you will then be released to
begin your peaceful flight gliding over the landscape of the Pampas. Your experienced pilot will use
his skills to seek the thermal updrafts that will lift your engine-less aircraft into a series of soft glides.
If conditions allow, you may be able to see as far as the Zarate Bridge, one of the most impressive
engineering works in the area.
The feeling of this virtually silent free flight is indescribable and something you won’t soon forget. The average gliding flight time is approximately 15 minutes,
but this can vary dependent upon weather and wind conditions. No doubt you will long for more time in the air as your flight comes to an end with a gentle
touch-down.
Back on the ground, you will re-board your transportation and drive to San Antonio de Areco where you will enjoy an authentic Argentinean lunch in this
traditional town in the Pampas. After lunch, there will be some time for a short stroll and to take some photos before it’s time to make the two-hour journey
back to the port.

BUE502: ULTIMATE TANDEM SKYDIVING ADVENTURE -
NOVEMBER 12, 2021 | $499PP
7 HOURS | MEALS: SNACK
Satisfy your craving for adventure by jumping out of a plane and experiencing an exhilarating
45-second freefall.
Leonardo Da Vinci once said, “Once you’ve tasted flight, you’ll walk forever on Earth with your eyes
turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.” Perhaps no truer
words were spoken for those who have experienced the thrill of sky diving.
Your adventure kicks off with a scenic two-hour drive to the SkyDive Center in Chascomús. On
arrival, meet with your instructor and receive a safety briefing, instructions, and an overview of what
to expect. Then it’s time to board your plane and take flight. When your plane reaches an altitude of
approximately 10,000 feet, you will be strapped to your instructor and then with heart-pounding, step
out into the open air.
As you drop away from the plane, the air envelopes you and you might not be sure if the exhilaration you are feeling is from the adrenaline of having just
jumped from a plane, or the expansive views of the city of Chascomús and the Argentine Pampas spread out below you. The only sound is the rushing of air as
you free fall through the skies for 45-seconds, reaching a speed of over 124 miles per hour while anticipating the instructor pulling the ripcord and sending your
parachute billowing above you. Once deployed, your rate of descent slows and you are able to catch your breath and absorb the experience as you float back to
earth. Upon landing, emotions of sheer joy and a sense of having conquered this adventure will no doubt mingle with your sense of relief at being back on terra
firma!
Following your jump, enjoy a snack at the SkyDive Center before commencing the drive back to the port.
Special Note: This tour includes approximately one hour of mild walking/standing over mostly flat terrain; however, there will be steps required to access the
transportation and the aircraft. The tour is not available to wheelchair guests; those with other conditions that limit their mobility; or those who have heart, back

BUE301: TANGO SHOW AT EL GRAN CAFÉ TORTONI -
NOVEMBER 12, 2021 | $99PP
2 HOURS | MEAL: NONE
Tango – the sensual dance that represents the image and character of Buenos Aires. Come
experience this beloved form of dance at the historic El Gran Café Tortoni.
Born in Argentina, the Tango is known and loved all around the world, but before it reached success,
it was banned for its sensuality and passion. In the late 19th century when the “Great Village of
Buenos Aires” was becoming a fast-growing immigrant city, frustrated and melancholic Europeans
gradually were displacing the gaucho rustics who began retreating to the countryside. The children
of the immigrants would become the first generation of porteños and the tango-song summarized
the city’s new urban style. Infused with nostalgia over a disappearing way of life, the tango expressed
the apprehensions and anxieties of individuals as it related to the changing landscape of community,
betrayal, friendship, and other personal concerns.
Board your transportation at the pier and drive to the historic El Gran Café, the oldest coffee shop
in the entire country that was founded in 1858. Over the years, it has been visited not just by the average citizens of Buenos Aires but also by intellectuals,
politicians, and artists. After arrival, be seated and get ready to enjoy a traditional Tango performance while sipping on a complimentary beverage. As you
watch this amazingly intricate dance, you will feel like you have been transported back to a bygone era, filled with passion and emotion.
Following what is sure to be an unforgettable experience, re-board your coach and travel back to the pier.
Special Note: This tour is primarily seated with a minimal amount of walking/standing. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair,
are able to make their own way on and off the coach and have a companion to assist them. We recommend comfortable clothing and flat walking shoes.

NOVEMBER 12, 2021 | $129PP

The roots of Argentinian wine go back to Spain when the Spanish began colonizing the Americas
and today, Argentina is the world’s fifth largest producer of wine. This wine lover’s tour will visit the
renowned El Querandi where you will be given the opportunity to taste five different wines that are
emblematic grapes of Argentina.
From the pier, drive to the city’s historic district and La Cava – El Querandi, established as a bar in

Memory” by the Buenos Aires City Museum, and “Notable Bar” by the National Tourist Secretary. Your

BUE303: THE MARQUEE HIGHLIGHTS
OF BUENOS AIRES - NOVEMBER 12, 2021 | $49PP
4 HOURS | MEAL: NONE
Become acquainted with Buenos Aires on this primarily panoramic tour that highlights the city’s
major neighborhoods but is also punctuated with stops at some of its most iconic attractions.
Board your coach at the pier and head to the La Boca neighborhood. When immigrants began arriving
in large numbers to Argentina, many of the older houses became conventillos, tenements that housed
European families that were cramped, divided quarters with inadequate sanitary facilities. Despite its
unpleasant past, today La Boca is Buenos Aires most colorful neighborhood, in large part due to its
brightly painted houses and corrugated tin roofs. Continue from here to Plaza de Mayo where you will
find important public buildings such as the Cabildo (traditional city hall), the Metropolitan Cathedral,
San Telmo and Casa Rosada, the rose-colored Presidential Palace that sits along the riverbank where
the early colonial fortifications once stood.
One of the most notable areas you will visit is La Recoleta, perhaps the most fashionable area
in Buenos Aires and best known for the La Recoleta Cemetery which is where Eva Perón is buried. After your visit here, see the colonial church - Iglesia de
Nuestra Señora del Pilara and then pass traditional cafés and restaurants. Before returning to the pier, your route will take you through the trendy Palermo
neighborhood.
Special Note: This tour includes approximately one hour of mild to moderate walking/standing that includes some steps. The tour is available to wheelchair guests
who have a collapsible wheelchair, are able to make their own way on and off the transportation, negotiate the steps and have a companion to assist them. We
recommend wearing weather appropriate comfortable clothing; sturdy, flat walking shoes; a sun cap; sunglasses and sunscreen.

BUENOS AIRES - NOVEMBER 12, 2021 | $55PP
4 HOURS | MEAL: SNACK
Discover the charming ambience of Buenos Aires’ markets, all found within the most well-known
areas of the city.
Embark your coach at the pier and travel first to the La Boca neighborhood which is literally Buenos
Aires’ most colorful barrio. Settled and built by Italian immigrants along the Riachuelo River, the
houses here are brightly painted with corrugated metal roofs. Along the popular pedestrian walkway
of Caminito, you will find local artists selling their works and at the end of the street is a delightful
handicraft market.
Continue to the barrio of San Telmo, a true artist’s quarter where local bohemians find large spaces in
which to work and low rents. Along with being the oldest district of Buenos Aires, it is also one of the
best kept. While here, take time to stroll around Plaza Dorrego where amongst its colonial buildings
you can find numerous antique and handicraft shops along with galleries, where you can purchase a
memento of your visit.
From here, make your way to Recoleta, one of the city’s most fashionable districts. Stop at the El Ateneo Grand Splendid Bookshop, considered one of the most
beautiful bookshops in the world. This marvelous building was once an historic theater and it has retained its original frescoed ceilings, ornate theater boxes,
elegant, rounded balconies, ornate trimmings, and plush red stage curtains. It remains as stunning today as when it was first envisioned by its architects.
Now used as an extraordinary book and music shop, over a million people walk through its doors each year. When your visit comes to a close, you will transfer
directly back to the port.

lined streets of residential neighborhoods, yacht clubs and mansions. Before arriving at the river
terminal, a pause for photos will be made at the Tigre Art Museum.
For more than one hundred years, the maze of rivers and channels of the Tigre Delta have been a
favorite weekend getaway for porteños, the residents of Buenos Aires. Arriving at the boat dock,
embark your river boat for a tranquil tour exploring the green labyrinth of the river’s channels, streams
and lush green islands. Your river route is interspersed with views of beautiful riverside villas,

Spend a wonderful day out in nature as you kayak in a bay of water that is home to a wide variety of

An abundance of wildlife that includes Southern Sea Lions, Cormorants and South American Terns
make their homes here and give life to the towering seaside cliffs that encircle the bay. Once you
have paddled past the punta (the point), you will be able to view the rock formation that gives Puerto
Piramides its name. Your two hours paddling on the water will allow plenty of time for observing the
sea lions and sea birds from an advantageous sea-level view.
