Overview & Highlights

A comprehensive escorted tour of highlights; real comfort in accommodation and travel and a discovery of a range of cultural and natural landscapes over 4 countries in  3 weeks. Top sights include Rio de Janeiro, Iguazú Falls, Buenos Aires, Lake Titicaca and Machu Picchu.

This extended coast-to-coast spectacular takes in some of the continent's most extraordinary and contrasting sites: exotic Rio de Janeiro, hemmed in by forested mountains and white-sand beaches; the thunderous falls at Iguazú; the sophistication of cosmopolitan Buenos Aires; the traditional, long-lasting indigenous culture of Bolivia; peerless Inca architecture in Cusco, Peru; the Lost City of Machu Picchu; and the shimmering waters of Lake Titicaca, fringed by snow-capped Andean peaks. 

This comprehensive and comfortable trip introduces you to South America's fascinating history and gives an insight into contemporary culture and ways of life.

What our clients say

  • It was our first experience of small group travel, and although on balance we prefer independant travel, to cover as many countries as we did, we couldn t have done it on our own!

    CS, Seaford
    Feb 2018

  • So many highlights. Corcovado Mountain and the Cristo Redento statue in Rio was a truly spiritual experience. Bolivia as a whole completely exceeded our expectations. Machu Picchu is such an extraordinary sight - its location and setting are hard to comprehend.

    NH, Shrewsbury
    Jul 2013

  • The boat trip to the base of the Iguacu falls Argentinian side was exhilarating and awesome.  The visit to Machu Pichu was even more impressive than we expected - our optional walk to the Inca bridge in the late afternoon was unforgettable.

    HJ, Potters Bar
    Dec 2014

  • There were so many highlights and wows that it is difficult to say. Macchu Picchu lived up to our expectations and Bolivia was a truly unexpected surprise. Loved Rio and the Iguazu Falls.

    EM, Bromley
    Jun 2018

  • The tour was well paced for our age group with enough leisure time to do your own thing or just chill. One of the best holidays I have ever been on. Well done and thank you all.
