About this trip
This is a long overland route from Quito to Rio, covering seven countries in 65 days. It's built for travellers who have the time to do South America properly rather than rushing through the highlights.
Expect a real mix along the way: Andean trekking, high-altitude landscapes, colonial cities, and the Amazon, before finishing on Brazil's beaches. You'll be travelling with the same group throughout, which shapes the pace and feel of the trip.
It's less about ticking off sights fast and more about settling into the rhythm of the continent, with plenty of time built in for the bigger stops.
