South America Tours

South America tours will take you on an extraordinary vacation where you can experience both man-made and natural wonders.

Focus on one country at a time with in-depth South America tours, or combine some of the most popular countries together.  Visit Brazil, Chile, Peru, Ecuador & Argentina. If you have the time, extend your trip all the way to Antarctica; or visit the amazing Galapagos Islands.

Many popular South America tours include Argentina and Brazil, since these destinations offer something for everyone… from majestic glaciers, to the cosmopolitan city of Buenos Aires, to the wonders of Iguazu Falls. In Brazil, you might be drawn to the glamour of Rio, but venture beyond the infamous Copacabana Beach, and you will find thousands of miles of beach to explore, traditional Afro-Brazilian culture, colonial towns, rainforests, and spectacular views of Iguazu Falls.
