About this trip
This trip threads together the Andes and the Atlantic, taking in the Inca history of La Paz, the otherworldly stretches of the Atacama Desert and the blinding white flats of Salar de Uyuni, before landing in the very different rhythm of Buenos Aires.
It is a trip of contrasts — high-altitude wilderness one week, tango halls and wine bars the next — done alongside a small group of other travellers rather than alone.
You get both sides of the continent: the raw, surreal landscapes of the highlands and the polish and energy of a major South American capital.
What you'll do
- Explore the Inca-rooted streets of La Paz
- Cross the otherworldly terrain of the Atacama Desert
- Stand on the blinding white salt flats of Salar de Uyuni
- Sip wine and take in the tango culture of Buenos Aires
- Rated easy, so this is about covering ground and taking in sights rather than physical challenge
- Fully guided throughout, with a private room rather than shared dorms
Worth it if you get a strong CEO and embrace the raw South America experience. Think twice if guide quality matters more than destination magic.
- 31 days hits incredible places, food, cultures and people; genuinely transformative for those with solid leadership.
- CEO quality is make-or-break: poor local knowledge, tourist restaurants, WhatsApp instead of briefings, last-minute time changes via chat ruins the trip.
- Guide professionalism varies wildly; favouritism, inappropriate behaviour, poor logistical planning (wrong cash advice, luggage info failures, missed airport pickups) documented.
- Second CEO (Karem) salvaged the Brazil leg; trip quality depends heavily on which guide you draw.
