What to Expect on Your Tour

South America tours combine comfortable accommodations with authentic local experiences. You'll stay in carefully selected hotels ranging from boutique properties in colonial cities to eco-lodges in the Amazon and comfortable mountain retreats.

Transportation varies by destinationβ€”from comfortable coaches on longer routes to domestic flights that maximize your time, trains through scenic mountain passes, and boats along jungle rivers. In cities, you'll explore on foot with knowledgeable local guides who bring history and culture to life.

Most tours include breakfast daily, with some lunches and dinners included, giving you flexibility to explore local cuisine. Activity levels vary from leisurely cultural tours to more active adventures with hiking and trekking options.

Best Time to Visit

South America's diverse geography means there's always somewhere perfect to visit. Generally, the dry season (May to September) offers the best conditions for Peru, Bolivia, and the Amazon, with clear skies ideal for Machu Picchu and high-altitude destinations.

Patagonia and southern Chile are best visited during their summer months (December to March) when weather is milder for trekking. Brazil's beaches shine from December to March, though Rio's Carnival in February is unforgettable despite the summer heat.

The Galapagos offers excellent wildlife viewing year-round, though December to May sees warmer water and calmer seas. Colombia and Ecuador near the equator have less seasonal variation, making them great destinations any time of year.

However, requirements vary by country and can change, so we recommend checking with the relevant embassy or consulate before departure.
