About this trip
Eighteen days across three countries, moving from the Andes to the Amazon to the streets of Buenos Aires and Rio. You take the train to Machu Picchu, spend time in the jungle, then swap altitude for tango lessons and beach city energy.
It's a wide-ranging route built for people who want contrast rather than depth in one place: Incan ruins one week, empanadas and Carnival spirit the next.
Guided throughout and rated easy, so the trekking days are manageable rather than demanding — this is more about seeing a lot than pushing your limits physically.
What you'll do
- Take the train up to Machu Picchu
- Spend time exploring the Amazon jungle
- Learn the basics of tango in Buenos Aires
- Eat empanadas in Argentina's capital
- Experience the atmosphere of Rio, home of Carnival
- Covers three countries in 18 days, so expect a fast-moving itinerary with regular travel days
- Rated easy despite the trekking label — suited to those who want Machu Picchu without a demanding hike
- Good fit if you want breadth across South America rather than a slow, single-region trip
