Top Culture Trip Itineraries for a South American Adventure

On this eight-day South American adventure, you don’t have to choose between a visit to the Andes or the Amazon. See them both as you navigate the country’s volcanic landscape. Fall in love with every aspect of Ecuador as you nibble on sensational chocolate and cycle to majestic waterfalls. This loop-tour starts and ends in Quito, but these immersive eight days could only amount to part one of your South American adventure.

Looking to reconnect with nature? There are few destinations as remote and wild as the Galápagos, and you can experience this unusual archipelago on a five-day journey over land and sea. You’ll be following in the wake of Charles Darwin, as you see first-hand the endemic species that inspired the Theory of Evolution. This is one for the budding naturalists and adventurers out there – as you snorkel with sea lions and penguins, plod alongside giant tortoises and spot Darwin’s finches swooping overhead.
