About the trip

This month-long escorted tour from G Adventures unfolds across four South American countries, connecting Lima and Buenos Aires with a series of distinctive stops. From the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu, reached after a pottering train ride through the Sacred Valley, to the soaring altitudes of Lake Titicaca where locals ply their reed islands, the itinerary feeds both curiosity and energy.

Three days trundle across the Salar de Uyuni by 4x4, the world's largest salt flat, reflecting the sky like a mirror broken only by tiny islands dotted with giant cacti. In Chile, the coastal town of Valparaiso offers its colourful hills and painted street art, while the Argentine Patagonia town of Bariloche provides a sneak peek into gaucho life with its ranch visits and barbecue lunch among the Seven Lakes district.

Apart from local flights and transport, the trip blends city tours, community visits, and a fair share of walking, with your CEO and local guides easing logistics and enriching understanding. It is a varied itinerary, and a patchwork of experiences which ask for patience as much as enthusiasm, in return for a South America that feels alive and well observed.
