We've incorporated all favourite South American highlights into a little over 2 months so if you are short on time yet want to see it all, this is the tour for you! From Peru's mysterious Nazca Lines to the majestic condors at Colca Canyon and the challenging Inca Trail to the citadel of Machu Picchu. Next comes the peaceful Lake Titicaca and Bolivia's Salt Flats. After that we discover the wineries of Argentina and the stunning lakes, mountains and volcanoes of Patagonia. Heading up Argentina's east coast, there's time for an excursion to spot wildlife out on the Valdes Peninsula and a few days to kick back and relax in Buenos Aires. Continuing north, we'll visit the stunning falls at Iguazu before enjoying some well-earned rest on Brazil's beautiful beaches. And what better place to round of your trip than in the stunning city of Rio?
