South America is a land of breathtaking contrasts – vibrant festivals, ancient ruins, lush rainforests, and cosmopolitan cities.

This 17 Nights / 18 Days tour covers Brazil, Peru, Chile, and Argentina, giving travelers a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore iconic landmarks, natural wonders, and cultural experiences. With international and internal flights, visas, hotels, meals, and guided tours included, you can enjoy a hassle-free, fully organized adventure.
Best Time to Visit South America
South America is a year-round destination, but the best experience depends on what you want to see:
- Rio Carnival (Brazil): Held every year in February or early March, this is the world’s biggest street party. Vibrant parades, samba dancers, and colorful floats make this the perfect festive season.
- Machu Picchu (Peru): April to October is the dry season, ideal for exploring the Andes and the Incan ruins.
- Amazon Rainforest: Best visited June to November for drier, easier jungle hikes.
- Patagonia (Chile & Argentina): November to March during summer offers milder weather for outdoor exploration.
- Iguazu Falls: Spectacular all year, but March to May and August to October are the most comfortable seasons.
Our February 2026 departure perfectly aligns with Rio Carnival while allowing great weather for Machu Picchu, Amazon Rainforest, and Iguazu Falls.
