Andes peaks, Amazon rainforest and Patagonian glaciers.
South America rewards travellers who give it time: Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley in Peru, Patagonia in Argentina and Chile, Colombia’s Caribbean coast and the Galápagos in Ecuador. Our guides cover routes, altitude and where to stay along the way.
Seasons are reversed from the northern hemisphere, so December to February is summer in Patagonia. High-altitude cities like Cusco and La Paz need a day or two to acclimatise.
