Central & South America Tours

Award-winning Central & South America Adventure Tours.

Trek to Machu Picchu on our Andean adventure selected by National Geographic Traveler as 50 Tours of a Lifetime; explore the spectacular glaciers of Patagonia on our hiking adventures; or cruise with us to the Galápagos, as featured in The New York Times and USA Today.

Pioneers in Latin America Travel.

Besides becoming the first US company to introduce visitors to Patagonia, MTS led the first ever commercial climb of Aconcagua—the tallest mountain in the Americas—in 1972, and the first rafting descents of Chile’s Bio-Bio & Baker Rivers in 1978 and 1992, respectively.

Local Office, Local Guides.

Over our 40 years of exploring South America, MTS has become part of the local community with offices in both Chile and the Galápagos. Our guides are natural leaders and accomplished climbers who have worked with us for decades—plus most are true locals born in South America.

Choice Accommodations.

After an inspiring day of hiking and touring, recount your tales and recharge with a gourmet feast. Then, slumber in a range of accommodations that match your chosen adventure – from luxury lodges to deluxe wilderness camping.
