South American Odyssey
South American Overland Tour

 

This extensive South American overland tour offers the most amazing and fascinating highlights of the continent. The lush Amazon Jungles of Ecuador, the majestic kingdoms of the Incas in Peru, the remote Altiplano and Salt Flats of Bolivia, the great outdoors of Patagonia and the largest party in the world at Rio's Carnival or New Years Eve celebrations - these are just some of the things you will experience during this incredible journey. This trip is a true Expedition by nature of its long duration and some of the remote places we visit. You will discover South America in a way most travellers only dream of, meet people you would never otherwise encounter and gain a unique insight into Latin American culture.
