Enhance your Peruvian journey with a helicopter ride over the mysterious Nazca Lines, visit the tranquil Lake Titicaca, and bag a photo opportunity with a friendly llama.

Argentina tempts visitors with its world-renowned cuisine, especially its succulent steaks and fine red wine, while Colombia invites you to relax on its pristine Caribbean beaches. In Bolivia, embark on an exhilarating 4x4 drive across the mesmerising Salt Flats.

South America in a Nutshell

Brazil

Brazil boasts the best of both worlds – wonderfully energetic yet laid back and serene, guests will never be bored in this stunning country. Visiting in the summer months during carnival is a must for lively festivities.

You can’t visit Brazil without a trip to see the iconic Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro. This popular tourist attraction boasts an unbeatable landscape of the entire city. Go early to avoid the crowds and get some one-on-one time with the unofficial eighth wonder of the world.

Peru

Peru is the place where smiles never stop. Whether you’re searching for adventure or tranquillity, Peru has got you covered. The high altitude can take a while to get used to but, once you are climatised, you’ll be climbing mountains and soaking in lakes in no time.

Machu Picchu will cause your jaw to drop as soon as you arrive. With views that you’ll have to see to believe, this impressive landmark will have your Instagram likes rack up. Located high above the ground, Machu Picchu is quite a climb so make sure you’re equipped with sturdy shoes and plenty of bottled water.

Costa Rica

Lush hot springs, majestic waterfalls and crystal lakes make Costa Rica luxuriously elegant. This little slice of paradise welcomes each traveller with open arms and a stunning setting that can’t be compared. This is definitely the place where you’ll be pinching yourself as soon as you touch down on the tarmac.

You simply can’t visit Costa Rica without exploring the unparalleled rainforests. Zip line through the treetops and get a bird’s eye view of the unique wildlife and tropical vegetation that blooms under the Costa Rican sunshine. It's the perfect place for a family adventure.
