South America Tours
With group tours and trips to over 10 destinations in South America, discover everything from the atmosphere at Rio Carnival to the calm on the Uyuni Salt Flats. A highlight is the Inca Trek to Machu Picchu - not to be missed!
South America is filled with mystery, tradition and outdoor adventures in abundance. Explore ancient Inca ruins, hike the challenging Inca Trail, view the Nazca Lines, meet local people in rural villages and bargain for hand-made crafts in bustling markets. Over such a large continent, there is so much to see from the windswept national parks of Patagonia, to the tropical beaches of Colombia which bask in warmth year round. Nature lovers will thrill at the diversity of wildlife in the Amazon Jungle, Pantanal wetlands, the Galápagos Islands, Los Llanos plains, Colca Canyon and Lake Titicaca, not forgetting the national parks of Patagonia. Colonial Spanish towns are nestled deep in the mountains while Inca ruins sit on the beaches. The great white continent of Antarctica is considered the last frontier of travel by many adventure seekers. We offer group tours in South America or you can create your own adventure with our Tailor-made tours.

Our Tours are modular
In South America, our group tours range from 3 to 55 days long, so there's something for everyone! If you're just looking for a quick break in one country, why not hop on a 8 day tour of Peru. If you're lucky enough to have heaps of spare time, consider a combinable trip like the 32 day South America Highlights tour. Want to really maximise your time in South America? Our Ultimate South America pieces several tours together, including a cruise of the Galapagos Islands and a trip all the way done through Patagonia.
Most of our South America tours are small sections of longer trips, so if you want to visit a few places, combine a couple of different tours to form an extended adventure of your choice!

Staff Recommendations & Tips
Francisca
Favourite Destination: Patagonia
Patagonia will always have a special place in my heart. I love it's rugged, wild nature and the numerous hiking opportunities. Watching the ice calve off the Perito Moreno Glacier was breathtaking and the W Trek in Torres del Paine is the hiking experience of a lifetime.
Anna
Favourite Destination: Peru
Peru is on the bucket list for many people because of Machu Picchu but the country is often overlooked for the variety of destinations it has to offer. Even if you only have two weeks in Peru, you can indulge beach life, explore the jungle and desert, hike mountains and see iconic Machu Picchu. It's impossible not to fall in love with the country.
Scott
Favourite Destination: Colombia
Colombia has quickly become one of my favourite places. Offering beautiful unspoilt nature, bustling cities and stunning beaches, not to mention some of the kindest and most hospitable people you will ever meet.
