South America Travel & Adventures
From the soaring spires of Patagonia's Paine National Park, to Darwin’s historic fieldwork on the Galapagos Islands, South America travel will show you the continent's rich, complex legacy. A strong and generous people embody that legacy today—such as the gauchos of southern Argentina, and the Quechua and Aymara descendents of the mighty Inca. You'll find their sacred sites and modern marvels, from the splendid Inca ruins at Choquequirao and Machu Picchu, to the cosmopolitan flair of Buenos Aires, the "Paris of South America." You’ll also find some of the world’s greatest natural wonders here: thick Amazonian rainforests, stark glacial fjords, rugged sky-high sandstone tepui mesas, and haunting Andean heights. It's no wonder many travelers return time and again for more South America adventure!
Let us help you unlock the enigmas of this varied continent. Since our very first adventure in South America—a sailing cruise in the Galapagos Islands for the Sierra Club in 1970—we've been at the leading edge of uncovering new and exciting South America vacations, pioneering the most original and challenging trips to Peru, Patagonia, and the Galapagos Islands for over 40 years. And whether you choose to spend your vacation trekking the Inca Trail, taking one of our Patagonia hiking adventures, visiting the "lost world" of Venezuela's Roraima, relaxing in a comfortable hacienda in the lush highlands of Ecuador, or wine tasting in Argentina's famed Mendoza wine country, we've got you covered. And all of our South America tours feature the same top-quality guides that experienced adventurers have come to expect from Mountain Travel Sobek—the leader in South America adventure!
