Getting Around Say farewell to 18 hour bus rides cramped in with other travellers. On our tours we include flights between some destinations & we get you where you need to be, fast, so you experience more. For shorter journeys it’s all about comfy private coach transport. It’s more of a social event where you can sit back & chill or chat with your new travel mates. And we get you out on the water with boat rides on Lake Titicaca, Buzios, the Amazon, Costa Rica & Galapagos. Plus train rides too, so you get the all-round Latin American experience.
Bike tours
Latin America has some other seriously cool ways to get around – so we include them too. Think triciclo rides, canoes & even cable cars. It’s all part of the adventure.
Canoe ride, The Amazon
Train ride, Machu Picchu
Why we’re different…

the local way, like triciclos, bikes & more

You’ll love… falling asleep to the sounds of the Amazon jungle. Try… Pollo a la brasa (roasted chicken) & fresh ceviche with a Pisco Sour. The Peruvians love it, so will you!
