Check out our incredible adventures exploring the highlights and hidden gems of South America!
Central & South America is one of the most diverse of all the world's continents, and we reckon the best way to explore its many landscapes is to join a Central & South America adventure tour. Witness some of the earliest evidence of human society in Peru, as well as mind-boggling engineering at sites like Machu Picchu. Journey deep into Patagonia's pristine national parks, explore Costa Rica's lush rainforests and white sand beaches, and discover the rich and flourishing wild flora and fauna of the Galapagos Islands. With small groups and experienced guides, you'll explore off-the-beaten-path and embrace the local way of life along the way. These are some of the most diverse and authentic Central & South American adventure tours you'll find.
