About the trip

This tour wends its way from Ecuador's capital Quito through the Amazon rainforest, with a few nights in a jungle homestay near Tena, before heading south to explore Baños' waterfalls and the archaeological remains around Cuenca. The route continues with a 4-day Inca Trail trek, culminating in a guided visit to Machu Picchu, its pre-Columbian stonework framed by misty peaks.

Crossing into Bolivia, the road leads to Lake Titicaca and the vast Salar de Uyuni salt flats, then east to Argentina with time to take in the rhythmic tango culture in Buenos Aires. The final days bring a mix of beach and rainforest along Brazil’s coast near Ilha Grande, finishing with a couple of days in Rio de Janeiro. This small-group adventure from G Adventures combines a variety of transport modes, some overnight travel, and shared accommodation of varying styles, offering plenty of opportunity to meet local communities and fellow travellers.
