The Inca Empire & Patagonia Explorer tour starts in Lima and ends in Ushuaia. The Inca Empire & Patagonia Explorer is a sailing, yachting and motor boating tour that takes 64 days taking you from Lima to Ushuaia and through other destinations in South America.

You might call this trip Patagonia Plus. Patagonia plus the amazing Bolivian and Chilean Altiplano, Northern Argentina and, of course, Peru. That really is a pretty big journey. Criss-crossing the Andes, traversing the high plateau with its flamingo studded lakes and the vast Uyuni Salt Pans, we will explore off the beaten track as well as the more usual highlights.


Of course, this trip will spend plenty of time exploring the Urubamba Valley, Cuzco and trekking to Machu Picchu on the Inca Trail, but for many of our travellers, it's activities like riding across the Argentinian cordillera with the gauchos or hiking the Wild Andes Trek that allows them to experience the real South America.


Yes, it's a journey across Patagonia, with its plethora of national parks, its wildlife and its trekking. Torres del Paine, Fitzroy, the Moreno Glacier, Tierra del Fuego and more; there is so many opportunities to climb, trek, ride horses or white water raft.

Outstanding. I went in with no idea what to expect, since I'd never traveled with a group before. The trip was well curated and the guides were fantastic.

Local Payment The local payment is a group fund, paid separately from the trip price on the first day of the tour. It covers everything that the group does together on the ground. This is primarily hotel accommodation and campsite fees, meals whilst camping (but not while eating in restaurants), and included activities and puts money directly back to the local community. The local payment, or kitty system, is unique to overlanding tours and provides maximum flexibility and best value on the road - you can see exactly what is being paid for, you get everything at cost price, it keeps costs competitive by leveraging group expenses and saves on administrative costs. The fund is run by the tour guide, and any excess left over at the end is returned equally to the group. Local prices are estimated in USD when we print the brochure then reviewed monthly as local costs and exchange rates vary throughout the year. It's therefore important once you book your trip to check the website regularly and just before departure for any changes to the amount.
