Latin America Wonders: Machu Picchu, Rio & Chichén Itzá

Lima → Cancun 13 days Up to 8

About this trip

Three of Latin America's biggest names in one trip: Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu, Rio de Janeiro, then Cancún and Chichén Itzá. It's a wide-ranging itinerary that trades depth in any one place for covering a lot of ground across Peru, Brazil and Mexico.

You'll explore Lima's historic centre, spend guided time at Machu Picchu, take in Rio's landmarks, then finish with Chichén Itzá and some downtime on the Caribbean coast. Internal flights link each stage, so travel days are built into the plan rather than left for you to sort out.

With guided sightseeing throughout and an easy pace, it works well if you want the highlights of several countries without organising each leg yourself, and suits families or groups travelling together over Christmas and New Year.

What you'll do

  • Guided visit to Machu Picchu and the Inca capital of Cusco
  • Walk Lima's historic centre
  • See Christ the Redeemer and ride the cable car up Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio
  • Tour the ruins of Chichén Itzá
  • Relax on Cancún's beaches
Good to know
  • Covers three countries and four main cities, with internal flights connecting each leg
  • Easy pace with guided excursions throughout, suited to families and groups
  • Runs over Christmas and New Year
