South America Highlights

A passionate, evocative land of extremes; a South American holiday will rip you out of your comfort zone, hurtle you back in time, submerge you in colour and leave you drenched and breathless. In a good way.

A region that reads like a book; the endemic species of the Galapagos inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution through natural selection. The lost city of the Incas cradled by the peaks of the Andes were rediscovered in just 1911. Part Chile, part Argentina; wild Patagonia is a Jurassic maze of volcanic islands and glaciers where the Earth’s plates visibly grind and bend. The colossal Amazon Rainforest is home to one tenth of the world’s species and the 275 separate waterfalls that make up the perpetual fury of Iguazu Falls can be enjoyed at sunrise in solitude; you just need to know where to stay. That’s where we come in.
