About This Trip

The adventure of a lifetime awaits as we delve deep into the raw beauty, unbelievable history and wonderful cultures of five of the most amazing countries in South America. Discover Chile, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil on this 17-day tour where the highlights come thick and fast.  

 

Start this epic journey in Santiago, capital of Chile, exploring what makes this easy-going city work and taking a trip up one of the surrounding mountains to witness Santiago laid out before you. From here it is an immersion in Peruvian life that awaits as we fly up to Lima, exploring here before transferring to Cusco to start the Incan part of our adventure. With so many ancient sites around Cusco, you will start to get a feel for the ancient ways of the Incan people before heading up to one of the major highlights of the tour, the extraordinary Machu Picchu. After exploring this fascinating temple we will then head down to Lake Titicaca, to visit its uncanny floating islands. 

 

After a real immersion in Peru, we cross the border into the Bolivian side of Lake Titicaca, visiting the extraordinary islands of the sun and moon and their unique ancient worship sites. We continue into Bolivia with a stay in La Paz, definitely a unique city. Slightly wilder than its neighbours, La Paz appears to be crazy, but is actually perfectly safe. It wears its heart on its sleeve and is a must-visit city on any tour of South America. 

 

Then from Bolivia, we fly down to arguably the most beautiful capital in South America, Buenos Aires. Wandering through crazy colourful La Boca, or watching genuine couples dance the tango on the streets of San Telmo is a beautiful experience. Nowhere you will find more interested, friendly people, living a life fueled by art and beauty.

 

From Argentina, we head to the powerful meeting point of three countries, Iguazu Falls. Bordering Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil, these mighty falls are an undeniable highlight of this trip, a place you can never forget. Then we finish off this journey with some time in the vibrant Rio de Janeiro, exploring its highlights, its people and its food.  

 

A South American adventure like no other.

highlights

There is so much to see and do in South America that it is tough to choose just what to focus on, so with this tour we have taken the guesswork out of it and gone for the stone-cold highlights! 17 days of pure beauty, whether manmade or natural. We also don’t want you just to visit a city, we want to take you out to explore it, to feel like you have really been there, met its people, seen its sights and tasted its cuisine.  

 

Santiago de Chile is often overlooked, but is a beautiful city set in the most dramatic of locations and is well worth exploring. In Peru, we not only focus on the incredible wealth of Incan treasures found there, with the sacred valley, Machu Picchu and sites on Lake Titicaca, but we also delve deep into Lima, a city of sublime beauty.  La Paz is the wild-west city of this tour, crazy, but completely safe and definitely worth seeing to contrast it with the other cities you visit. Buenos Aires is refined, stately, but also entirely relaxed. As soon as you step onto its streets you feel like you have come home and as we explore you will find the hidden treasures that make it such a beautiful city.  

 

In Brazil, we focus on two main things, the power and splendour of Iguazu and the party city of Rio de Janeiro.  Iguazu is a life-changing experience. The sheer power of these incredible falls is enough to make you question your place in the world. A stunningly beautiful day that you will never forget. In Rio we combine the highlights with time to discover the Rio of your dreams, whether that is chilling on Ipanema Beach, cheering in the Maracana or learning to dance to the Samba beat.
