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.

Vibrant colours, the sound of samba and an electrifying atmosphere – the Rio Carnival is quite simply the biggest party in the world.

Be amidst millions of people as the streets fill with music, energy and the unmissable Latin flavour of Brazil in one of the most mind-blowing spectacles on earth – it’s simply impossible not to get swept along by the magic of carnival fever. Experience the electric atmosphere with tribune seats at the Sambadrome to witness competing samba schools, revel in the party atmosphere, and immerse yourself in the rich traditions and spirit of this iconic event.

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.

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.

South America’s first luxury sleeper train weaves its way through the Peruvian Andes between Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire, and the white city of Arequipa, taking in the beautiful waters of Lake Titicaca.
