The wonders of Peru and Bolivia await as you walk beneath the Amazon Jungle's lush canopy, trek the llama-filled plains of the Sacred Valley and stroll the cobblestone streets of Cusco on this 15-day journey from Lima to La Paz. Search for monkeys and medicinal plants in the Amazon, tackle the ancient road to Machu Picchu, experience a homestay in a traditional community on the shore of Lake Titicaca and finish in La Paz, where Indigenous communities continue to form the city’s cultural fabric. With the option to see Machu Picchu by trek or by train, plus the expert knowledge of local leaders, this trip will no doubt leave you breathless – in more ways than one.
I've seen impressive waterfalls and scenery before but this takes it to a whole new level. When you think you've seen it all you turn a corner and get a whole new perspective. You get to see and experience different things everyday. With plenty of free days that you can organise yourself or fill with the optionals you can really bulk out this holiday and make it packed with new experiences which you may have not found by yourself. I've not had a minute spare as always an optional available to fill any free time which is what I chose to do. The Iguazu falls is a must experience! The views on the walk are simply breathtaking then your breath gets taken in a whole new way on the boat ride into the base of the Devil's throat.
It not only covered the places that we always wanted to see as well as some that we had never heard of. We didn’t even know that the Iguazu Falls existed but we found them to be one of the most amazing places to visit.
Hotels were good and except for the one in Cusco, they were very well located. Itinerary was great. I was met with friendly guides and drivers at each stage. City tours were excellent.
The Peru and Bolivia trip was absolutely amazing! The Inca trail was a challenge but I am so glad I did it. The salt flats in Bolivia was beautiful this trip really had everything! Mountains, volcanoes, desert. Honestly the best Contiki I have been on. The included meals on the tour did not disappoint
I recommend every one to do it!
our trip manager was honestly the best!
This is a excellent introductory tour of South America visiting 2 of the continent's most dynamic cities, (Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires) and one of the world's most incredible natural wonders, the Iguazu Falls. This is not a typical motor coach tour as it travels between locations using domestic airlines. All ground transportation to see the sites within the aforementioned cities and the falls was on large, comfortable coaches using different drivers for each location, all excellent. Everything went without a hitch thanks to our great tour director, Rodrigo. After this tour we want to explore South America more. Highly Recommended.
Uncover the magic of two of South America's most breathtaking destinations on this extraordinary small-group journey through Ecuador and Peru. From ancient cities steeped in history to otherworldly landscapes and awe-inspiring world wonders, this adventure is filled with unforgettable moments. Begin in Quito, Ecuador’s charming capital nestled in the Andes, before flying to Baltra Island, the gateway to the legendary Galápagos Islands. Cross into Santa Cruz Island, where you'll walk among giant tortoises in their natural habitat, explore lush highlands, and marvel at dramatic volcanic landscapes. Cruise the turquoise waters around Puerto Ayora, snorkeling at La Lobería with playful sea lions, graceful sea turtles, and vibrant tropical fish. Continue your exploration with visits to North Seymour and Bachas Islands, teeming with seabirds, iguanas, and untouched beaches. Next, fly to Lima, Peru's dynamic capital, where colonial grandeur meets contemporary culture in neighborhoods like Miraflores, San Isidro, and the coastal Parque del Amor. Soar over the Andes to Cusco, the historic heart of the Inca Empire. Wind through the Sacred Valley, where ancient agricultural terraces and Andean villages line the route to Machu Picchu — the mystical Lost City of the Incas, perched high among misty peaks. Back in Cusco, walk in the footsteps of emperors at the Temple of the Sun and the mighty Sacsayhuaman Fortress, where immense stones speak of a glorious past. From the pristine Galápagos Islands to the timeless ruins of the Andes, this journey blends nature, history, and culture into an experience that will linger in your memory forever.

I had the best experience travelling through Colombia with Carolina and Isabella! The tour itinerary was great, a nice balance of activities and relaxation/free time. I felt very safe, the guides gave excellent recommendations in terms of where to go, what to eat, what to do and were always on hand to translate things for us if needed. They always made sure that everyone was having a good time. It was so great travelling with Colombian tour guides to really get an insight into the country - a beautiful country full of colour, good food and friendly people!
I absolutely loved this trip, I was a little under shape for it. I agree that it is a vigorous trip and shouldn?t be taken lightly in regards to the physical activity level. The bug bites were NO joke, even with bug spray bring bite cream.
The views and experiences were top notch. I enjoyed the group, the food and the itinerary. 10/10 would go again!
This was the best tour that we have ever done before. We can highly recommend the experience to: the best of Machu Picchu, Cusco and Amazon in seven days. The places we went to, the ancient ruins we saw, the delicious food we had and the picturesque landscapes we experienced through the tour were all memorable. But what made this tour so outstanding and unique were our guides: Peter our Machu Picchu expert and Gris that showed us the other sites in Cusco. They were not only amazing tours guides, very knowledgable and funny, but they also helped us to capture these beautiful sites with pictures. thanks a lot for that.
