Middle East Travel Update
From ancient temples to sun-drenched beaches, world-famous waterfalls and cities spiked with Latin flavour, South America offers a never-ending stream of discovery.
Our South America holidays take in just a few highlights of this incredible region, including tours of the stunning Iguazu Falls, the epic Christ the Redeemer statue, the lost Incan city of Machu Picchu and stays in Argentina’s charming capital, Buenos Aires, and the undisputed carnival capital of the world, Rio de Janeiro.
Iguazu National Park, a treasure shared by Argentina and Brazil, is home to the awe-inspiring Iguazu Falls, one of the world’s most majestic natural wonders.
Cascading dramatically amidst the vibrant rainforests, these mesmerising waterfalls create an awe-inspiring spectacle. Elevated walkways offer intimate encounters, while diverse wildlife and vibrant flora thrive in the surrounding ecosystem.
Preservation efforts showcase the delicate harmony between humans and nature, earning it UNESCO World Heritage status.
Christ the Redeemer, an iconic symbol, is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World. Towering 30 metres tall atop Mount Corcovado, the statue overlooks the city with outstretched arms, embodying peace, unity, and Brazil’s welcoming spirit. Completed in 1931, it’s not only a marvel of art but a symbol of faith.
An unforgettable tour will take you to the summit where you’ll enjoy breathtaking views of Rio’s skyline, beaches, and verdant landscapes.
Travel through the Peruvian Highlands between Cusco and Machu Picchu in unparalleled style on board the Hiram Bingham. Gleaming wood-panelled interiors and brass finishes evoke classic 1920s parlour cars and transport you back in time to a bygone era.
Every part of your adventure immerses you in the distinct Peruvian soul of the landscapes you’re traversing. Vibrant colours and nature-inspired motifs echo the breathtaking landscapes outside, while gourmet cuisine invites you to savour the region’s authentic flavours. Travelling on board the Hiram Bingham is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that truly lives up to its world-class reputation.
Machu Picchu, the enigmatic Incan citadel perched amidst the Andes, captivates with its awe-inspiring beauty and historical significance.
This UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of the New Seven Wonders, offers a mesmerising glimpse into ancient Incan civilisation, where intricate stone architecture, terraced fields, and entrancing vistas collide. Whether trekking the Inca Trail or marvelling from vantage points, Machu Picchu is a profound journey into history and nature.
With a stunning backdrop of rainforest covered mountains, white arcs of sandy beaches and lush green islands peeking out of the sea, it’s no wonder Rio is called the “cidade maravilhosa”, or ‘Marvellous City’.
During your stay you could take a trip into the rainforest to spot tropical birds, monkeys and sloths or explore the city to see the architectural opulence of the Imperial Palace and the National Library, the largest library in Latin America. Or you could just kick back and sip a cool caipirinha on the sun-drenched Copacabana or Ipanema beach.
Lima is a city of striking contrasts, where the historic centre reveals remnants of ancient city walls, grand baroque cathedrals and elegant colonial architecture. In contrast, the modern districts of Miraflores and bohemian Barranco are known for their coastal views, colourful streets, and vibrant restaurant and bar scenes. What truly unites the Peruvian capital is its extraordinary cuisine, from world-renowned fine dining to traditional favourites such as the legendary lomo saltado, a flavourful beef stir-fry served with tomatoes, peppers, onions and chips.
Buenos Aires, the vibrant capital of Argentina, enchants visitors with its rich cultural heritage and cosmopolitan flair. Stroll along grand boulevards lined with neoclassical architecture, savour the city’s renowned culinary delights, and experience the passionate rhythms of tango. From the historic streets of San Telmo and the colourful houses of La Boca to sleek modern skyscrapers, Buenos Aires blends history, art, and contemporary life, offering a captivating mix of tradition, creativity, and irresistible energy at every turn.
Brimming with unique wildlife, breathtaking landscapes, and distinctive flora, the Galápagos Islands offer a living museum of evolution.
Scattered across the Pacific Ocean, these volcanic isles are home to giant tortoises, blue-footed boobies, and marine iguanas—creatures found nowhere else on Earth. It was here that Charles Darwin uncovered the secrets of natural selection, forever changing science. Today, they remain a protected UNESCO World Heritage site, attracting researchers and eco-tourists alike.
Famed for its grand architecture, Santiago is a sophisticated city framed by the majestic Andes and surrounded by vineyards producing some of Chile’s finest wines. Visitors are drawn to its world-class museums, art galleries, and historic sites, while the city pulses with energy and a vibrant dining scene. Each neighbourhood has its own distinct character, from the stylish streets of Alonso de Córdova to the leafy hillside parks, perfect for a relaxing picnic with breathtaking city and mountain views.
With every turn, the Chilean fjords promise an eye-opening adventure that you’ll treasure for a lifetime.
These beautiful fjords are world renowned for being one of the most awe-inspiring places on earth. Snow-capped volcanoes nestle majestically alongside rolling valleys of ice and frosty glaciers. Rugged beauty, breathtaking scenery, and diverse wildlife await. Witness whales breaching the waves, playful Magellan penguins, and maybe even spot the rare Andean condor. Affectionately named “The End of the World”, these extraordinary waterways not only encompass a medley of jagged mountains and iceberg strewn bays but boast photographic opportunities like no other destination.
The Falkland Islands are a wild, windswept archipelago of more than 200 islands, celebrated for their white-sand beaches, vast open skies and remarkable wildlife, including colonies of penguins, albatross and sea lions. Rich in maritime heritage, the islands are shaped by stories of exploration and conflict, reflected in poignant war memorials. As a remote British Overseas Territory, the Falklands captivate visitors with their rugged landscapes, untamed beauty and enduring sense of resilience and spirit.
