LIMA to SANTIAGO (39 days) The Cordilleras

Make memories that will last a lifetime with our 35 day trail along the coastlines, mountains and the altiplano of South America. Travel to the mysterious Nazca Lines and the beautiful city of Arequipa before climbing into the Andes. Witness ancient Incan archaeological sights such as famous Machu Picchu at the end of the Inca Trail. In Bolivia we see the striking natural landscape of the vast Salt Flats and learn about the cultures of the indigenous people who live here. Get your blood pumping with a selection of adrenaline fuelled activities such as sandboarding in the Peruvian desert, before exploring the wine district of northern Argentina, the local colonial towns and the great bars and restaurants of Lima and Santiago. With a taste of everything, this tour gives you the opportunity to get a real feel for South American culture.
