Satisfy your adventurous spirit
Much of South America is shrouded in mystery. The remnants of lost civilisations and fiercely untamed jungles provoke a sense of curiosity and have called out to adventurers throughout history. One of South America's big ticket items is the Inca Trail which will see you journey from one site of archaeological significance to the next. Embark on a classic 4-day trek to observe mountain panoramas and awe-inspiring cloud-forests until you reach Machu Picchu - the lost city of the Incas. From captivating ruins in the Andes of Peru, you can continue your high-altitude adventures in Ecuador, Colombia, Chile and Argentina – all in proximity to the world's longest mountain range.
Witness the natural power of the Iguassu Falls
South American adventures can be found on and off the beaten track. Experience the mosaic of fragile, ancient ecosystems with jungle walks, river cruises and eco-tours in the Amazon River Basin, which takes glory as the largest rainforest in the world. Dive into the Galapagos Islands for a wildlife encounter with sea lions, giant tortoise and iguanas, or witness the natural power of the Iguassu Falls with a boat trip beneath the torrents (wet weather ponchos will not do you any good here!).
