Highlights
Choose your own adventure to Machu Picchu – whether you trek the classic Inca Trail, the quieter Quarry Trail or take the scenic train, seeing this ancient Inca citadel is unforgettable.
Take a boat tour of Lake Titicaca, visit the Floating Islands of Uros and spend the night with a local family in a traditional island community.
Embark on a three-day 4WD adventure across Bolivia’s Salar de Uyuni, passing cactus islands, train cemeteries and mineral-rich salt lakes teeming with flamingos.
Harness your inner gaucho (cowboy) during a stay at an estancia (traditional ranch) in Uruguay. Get involved in daily activities, explore the land on horseback or simply relax and enjoy Uruguayan hospitality.
See the mighty Iguazu Falls – the world’s largest waterfall system which straddles the border between Argentina and Brazil – from both sides, and maybe get even closer on a Zodiac boat ride.

day 1Lima
Bienvenidos! Welcome to Lima, Peru's vibrant capital. Your adventure begins with a welcome meeting at 6 pm where you'll meet your group leader and fellow travellers. With no activities planned until then, why not grab a Pisco sour in the Miraflores area or stroll to Parque del Amor (Love Park) for a great view of Lima's beaches? After, perhaps head out for dinner and get to know your group. Lima is the unofficial foodie capital of South America, so be sure to ask your local leader for their recommendations – and don't pass the chance to sample ceviche, Peru's national dish.
