    How long are your South America tours?

    Our South America tours range from short trips to iconic destinations, such as a 7-day journey to explore Peru’s highlights, to longer itineraries of up to 30 days that cover multiple countries. Whether you’re looking for a quick getaway or a full, immersive experience, we have options to suit your time frame.

    What’s the best time to visit South America?

    The best time to visit South America depends on where you’re going. For the Amazon rainforest and the coastal regions, the dry season from May to October is ideal. If you're heading to Patagonia, the Southern Hemisphere's summer (December to March) is the best time for hiking and outdoor activities. Our team can advise you on the best time to visit based on your specific destination and the experiences you're looking for.

    Is travel insurance included in the price of the tour?

    Travel insurance is not typically included in the cost of your South America tour, but we highly recommend you purchase comprehensive travel insurance to cover cancellations, medical emergencies, and unforeseen circumstances. We can help you find the right coverage for your trip, ensuring peace of mind throughout your journey.
