Machu Picchu, Patagonia, the Galápagos, the Grand Canyon and the Amazon — the once-in-a-lifetime wonders that top every traveller's list.
Some places are worth crossing the planet for. The Americas hold an extraordinary concentration of them — a lost Inca city in the clouds, a wilderness of granite and ice, an archipelago where evolution wrote its rules, the deepest canyon on Earth, and the greatest rainforest of all.
Family-run since 1974, Cooee builds these wonders into seamless journeys — securing the permits, cruises and lodges that book out first.
Each is a trip-defining experience — several combine beautifully.
The definitive list: Machu Picchu (Peru), Patagonia, the Galápagos Islands, the Grand Canyon, the Amazon, Iguazú Falls, and Niagara Falls. Each is a world wonder in its own right. See our Machu Picchu guide.
The classic South American icon run is Machu Picchu → Patagonia, often adding the Galápagos or the Amazon. In North America, the Grand Canyon pairs with Yellowstone and the Southwest parks. See our itineraries guide.
Yes — Inca Trail permits and Machu Picchu timed tickets sell out months ahead, Galápagos cruises and Patagonia lodges book early, and Amazon cruises have limited cabins. Cooee locks these in for you. See our where to stay guide.
Machu Picchu and the Galápagos are good most of the year (Peru is driest May–September); Patagonia is best November–March; the Grand Canyon is year-round (summer is hot on the canyon floor). See our best time to visit guide.
For wildlife lovers, absolutely — nowhere else lets you snorkel with sea lions and walk among fearless giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies. A small-ship cruise is the best way to experience it. See our Galápagos guide.
