South America Tours & Adventures

If you were to create the perfect continent for backpacker tours, you probably could not do better than South America. After all, it’s the continent with arguably the best (and certainly the most famous) trek in the world: the fabled Inca Trail that takes intrepid travellers up to Machu Picchu. It’s also the continent with the most scenically located city in the world: none other than famous Rio de Janeiro in Brazil, home of Carnival, the greatest party on Earth. It’s also the continent with… hang on, we’ll do more of that in a moment.

The sheer size, diversity, and near-embarrassing wealth of sights and experiences in South America presents a problem not only in listing it all, but also seeing it all. This is where tours really come into their own. Not only will they focus your attention on what of the region you really want to see, they’ll also do all the hard work to make it happen. Do you really want the stress of driving all the way from the equator to one of the southern-most points in the world, close to Antarctica, when somebody else can do it for you?
