About this trip
This 51-day overland trip runs from Peru to Brazil, taking in Bolivia and Argentina along the way. It's a proper long-haul journey for anyone who can't pick just one South American country and has the time to see several properly.
Expect a mix of high-energy culture and outdoor adventure early on, including the Inca Trail, before the pace eases into wine country and beach time later in the trip.
You'll travel with a small group of other young travellers throughout, with a guide handling the logistics of moving across four countries.
What you'll do
- Trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
- Cross the Bolivian Salt Flats
- Sample wine in Argentina
- Spend time on the beach in Brazil
- Travel overland through Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil
- A long trip at 51 days, so it suits travellers who can commit the time
- Moderate pace overall, with more demanding days early on and slower stretches later
- Fully guided throughout, with a mix of sightseeing, culture and outdoor activity
Worth it if you want hassle-free group travel with genuinely excellent guides. Think twice if you're not prepared for 51 days of intense daily travel.
- Guides like Eduardo, Fio, Gerson Zea, and the Inca Trail specialists were genuinely exceptional and went above and beyond.
- 51 days is extremely tiring; multiple reviewers found the length physically hard going, not just a minor gripe.
- Buenos Aires to Rio leg felt unnecessary to some; the southern stretch could arguably be skipped or done independently.
- Management's handling of closed borders to Chile disappointed at least one traveller; expect potential route changes.
