Blog
Journey through South America's legendary landscapes, from vast glaciers and steamy rainforests to sun-rusted deserts and hidden cloud kingdoms. Trek Peru's Inca Trail, zigzag Chile's volcano valleys, float amongst Argentina's snowy Andean peaks and soak in Colombia’s spirit - our friendly South America specialists will be only too happy to share with you the lowdown on how best to explore here!

Take the ultimate journey through Argentina and Chile

Ready to dive deep into Chile and Argentina‘s heart? We can 100% recommend this month-long itinerary for exploring vibrant Buenos Aires, spotting wildlife near Trelew and searching for penguins in Punta Arenas. You’ll hear glaciers crack, trek through stunning mountains, and sip wine in lush vineyards. Up north, catch a sunset over Chile’s Atacama Desert and feel the mist of Iguazu Falls on your face.

Grapes & Gauchos: On the road to Iguazu

A truly laid-back venture to Argentina‘s sunny north: Cycle through vineyards, ride across tobacco fields, and bask in Buenos Aires’ wordly vibe. Meet locals, stay on ranches, and end with the mighty Iguazu Falls.

Through volcano valleys to national parks

Two epic weeks, three contrasting climates, countless Chilean panoramas! From Maipo Valley’s vineyards and the Lake District’s volcanoes and sapphire pools, to penguins in Patagonia and relaxing in colourful Valparaiso.
