Get closer to the extraordinary: South America

South America dazzles with ancient wonders, wild landscapes, and vibrant cultures. From Peru’s Incan heritage and Chile’s Patagonian peaks to Argentina’s elegance and Brazil’s electrifying spirit, it’s a continent of contrasts, where history, nature and rhythm collide in unforgettable harmony. Here are just a few of the extraordinary experiences you can expect on these tours.

Iguazu Falls

One of nature’s most powerful spectacles, Iguazú Falls is an awe-inspiring cascade set in the heart of the rainforest. From Argentina’s side, we come close to its raw force on elevated walkways above the water level to feel the thunder and mist of Devil’s Throat. From Brazil, sweeping vistas reveal the full grandeur of the falls, with panoramic views that capture their sheer scale and beauty.

Machu Picchu

Walk among timeworn Inca ruins where the legacy of a great empire still echoes to this day. Machu Picchu, the awe-inspiring ‘Lost City of the Inca’ rises from mist-shrouded peaks. We explore its remarkably preserved temples, terraces and observatories – an enduring marvel of ancient engineering.
