Tour Description

This 15-day tour to Peru, Argentina, and Brazil is packed with history and one-of-a-kind experiences. Starting in sophisticated Lima and ending in the mighty Amazon rainforest, this itinerary rewards those with a thirst for adventure. Make yourself at home in Lima’s upscale neighborhood of Miraflores, and tour the city’s historic district. Then journey onwards to the ancient Incan capital of Cusco. Explore the natural gems of the Sacred Valley and visit the Maras Salt Ponds as well as the mysterious agricultural terraces of Moray. Knock Machu Picchu off your bucket list, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that’s key to understanding the depth and complexity of the Inca culture. Make your way to the vibrant Argentinean capital of Buenos Aires, where rhythmic beats and the art of tango dominate its streets. Spend a full day exploring the city, wandering from its historic center to the Recoleta Cemetery, stopping in world-class museums and traipsing along the colorful street of El Caminito. Make your way to the dreamy beaches of Rio, stopping to see Iguazu Falls from both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides along the way. Then spend the last few days of this 15-day tour in the Amazon, where you’ll go piranha fishing, jungle trekking, and cook manioc with the locals — all experiences that are unique to this region.
