South America (Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia)

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

South America is a continent of staggering diversity, spanning the Amazon rainforest, the Andes mountain range, Patagonian glaciers, and thousands of kilometres of Pacific and Atlantic coastline. Chile and Argentina draw adventurers to world-class trekking in Patagonia and wine regions like Mendoza and the Maipo Valley, while Brazil captivates with its vibrant cities, carnival culture, and the vast biodiversity of the Amazon basin. Peru and Bolivia offer some of the continent's richest indigenous heritage, from the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley to the surreal salt flats of Salar de Uyuni and Lake Titicaca. Independent and group travellers come for the epic landscapes, deep history, wildlife encounters, and the sheer variety of experiences packed into a single continent.

Highlights of South America: Self-Launched (Santiago Loop)

A self-launched 29-day loop from Santiago that covers the best of the continent on local transport and hostel/budget-hotel stays: Patagonia (Torres del Paine and Perito Moreno), Buenos Aires, Iguassu Falls from both sides, Rio, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, Cusco, La Paz, the Uyuni Salt Flats and the high-altitude desert crossing back into Chile. Where the original uses a private vehicle and an Expedition Leader, you'll use domestic flights, long-distance buses, shared 4x4 salt-flat tours and self-bookable GetYourGuide day tours. Costs are approximate backpacker/budget-traveller rates in GBP, excluding international flights to/from South America.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for South America (Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Bolivia) yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Eat the strangest thing on the menu every single day for a week and document the regret."
