Join us on a journey into a South America seldom seen by visitors.

Evergreen Cruises & Tours ensures we include unique, exclusive and authentic experiences where our guests are welcomed into the lives of local people.

You’ll come home with a knowledge and affection of South America far deeper than a museum or historic landmark alone can offer.

In Peru’s Sacred Valley, visit a local community and meet the people who have inherited the traditional ways of the Inca. Be taken to their school where the smiles of the children will melt your heart. This experience, unique to Evergreen, will remain with you long after you return home.

In Rio, get to know how the locals party with a visit to the Sambadrome, the site of the famous Rio Carnival.

The Cariocas, or people of Rio, know how to have fun and once a year they embark on a four day party filled with parades, costumes, music and dance known as Carnival. The Sambadrome is the centre of it all and the costumes are an integral part. We take you there and you’ll try on some of the carnival costumes like a local.

In the beautiful countryside of Argentina, we take you to a traditional ranch or “estancia” where you will learn more about the culture of the country. Argentina is predominantly a rural country and the people here

grew up on the land. A cowboy or “gaucho” culture developed as an important part of Argentina’s makeup and the best way to experience and learn about this is by visiting an estancia. No other tour will bring you as close to Argentinian culture as this.

In Lima, experience the perfect pre-cursor to your journey into the Inca Empire with a visit to the Larco Museum. Housing one of the most impressive archaeological collections, this experience will give you an intimate understanding of the history of ancient Peru.

Be guided through the museum before sitting down for dinner amongst its magnificent gardens.

You’re Invited experiences allow you to connect with real people and participate in special events so that you can discover a hidden side of the destination. Evergreen has hand-picked experiences that will enrich your time and deepen your understanding of the places you visit.
