Journey Across South America

Lima → Rio de Janeiro 19 days Up to 24

About this trip

This is a continent-crossing journey, starting on the Pacific coast in Lima and finishing on the Atlantic side in Rio de Janeiro, taking in some of South America's best-known sights along the way.

Expect a mix of history, altitude and natural spectacle — from the ruins of Machu Picchu to the islands of Lake Titicaca, with a market browse in La Paz and a waterfall finale at Iguazu.

It's a long overland route through several countries, so you cover real ground and see the region change as you go, ending with the view from Corcovado over Rio.

What you'll do

  • Visit the ruins of Machu Picchu
  • Cruise to the islands of Lake Titicaca
  • Browse La Paz's Witches Market
  • See the Iguazu Falls up close
  • Ride up to the summit of Corcovado Mountain for the view over Rio
Good to know
  • A long overland route covering multiple countries in 19 days, so travel days are part of the deal
  • Suits those who want a broad sweep of South America rather than a deep dive into one place
