Our love affair with South America started way back in 2006 on the epic Inca Trail in Peru. More than a decade on, Latin America continues to seduce us with its spectacularly diverse nature, exceptional wildlife experiences, fascinating histories and cultures, and divine food and wine.
Our travels through this captivating continent have taken us from the steamy Caribbean shores of Colombia in the north, through Ecuador and the Galapagos, Peru, Chile, Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay, to Ushuaia, the southernmost city in the world.
Between those two points, we’ve experienced otherworldly high-altitude deserts, mesmerising snow-capped mountains, expansive rainforests, wild and remote islands, thundering waterfalls, vibrant cities, quaint historic villages, extraordinary ancient sites, and so much more. Visit just once and you’ll be hooked, too.
