Fantastic from start to finish and the landscapes just kept getting more and more impressive. Our guide Darwin was fantastic and everything was organised to a T. It made it so enjoyable having everything run so smoothly from place to place. The trekking to Macchu Picchu and on the quarry trail were an absolute highlight.

Our polar-obsessed expedition team has made this dream come true for modern-day adventurers for over 30 years. Because innovation is in our DNA, we wanted to make this experience even more memorable.
