There is probably no other part of the world with the same rich mix of incredible farming combined with magnificent scenery along with diverse culture and history. South America is simply one of the most rewarding places on the planet to explore.
After flying across the Pacific to Santiago (Chile) we travel Rio de Janeiro – no visit to South America would be complete without a visit to Rio taking in Sugarloaf, Corcovado and Copacabana Beach. Then back to nature in the magnificent Brazilian Amazon. At more than 6400 km in length – and a drainage basin roughly the size of the Australian continent – we are talking one serious river. We will fly to the Amazon port city of Manaus, witness the incredible Meeting of the Waters (confluence of the Amazon and Negro rivers) and spend time at a jungle lodge owned and operated by the indigenous river people. This is definitely a tick on the bucket list.
