What's this trip about?
This massive 112 day trip is one of our more popular journeys across South America as it takes in so much of the continent, including many of the really popular highlights along with a whole bunch of lesser known gems. If you would like to ride horses across the Argentinian Cordillera with the Gauchos, to trek the W Walk of Torres del Paine and to cross the wilderness of the high Altiplano, then this trip might well be the one for you.
It explores off the beaten track through Colombia, Bolivia and Argentina as well as visiting the more predictable destinations, such as Cuzco and Machu Picchu, Buenos Aires and the Salt Pans at Uyuni.
This is a trip for someone with plenty of time, who is happy to share this amazing continent with a group of like minded travellers.
