South America tours

Welcome to the land of Eva Peron and the Girl from Ipanema. These South American holidays will introduce you to exotic culture, awesome wildlife and incredible cities, both ancient and modern. Our South America tours include the grandeur and mystery of the lost Inca city, Machu Picchu, an experience that nothing can prepare you for. And for sheer exuberance, it’s hard to top the intoxicating sights and sounds of Rio de Janeiro. Then there’s colonial, cosmopolitan Buenos Aires.

A tour to Bolivia or Peru will take you to countries of soaring mountains and lush jungles – and fascinating traces of the ancient Inca heritage. Alternatively, explore the colourful Chilean cities of Santiago and Valparaiso on your South American holiday and take in a wine-tasting trip to sample fine Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

But let’s not forget the natural wonders to be seen on tours of South America. South American holidays would not be complete without exploring the tropical Amazon jungle, the world’s largest living collection of plants and animals. Our South America tours also whisk you to the pristine wildlife paradise of the Galapagos Islands, home to iridescent iguanas and blue-footed boobies. For holidays in South America – pack that camera.
