About this trip
Eighteen days across three countries, taking in the Andes, the Amazon and the very different energy of Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro. You trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, spend time in the jungle, then swap mountains for city life in Argentina and Brazil.
It is a fast-moving trip built for people who want variety rather than one long, slow immersion. Expect a real mix of landscapes, food and pace, from quiet trail mornings to late nights out in Buenos Aires and Rio.
