Explore four vibrant Latin American countries as you voyage from Chile to Panama via Peru and Ecuador.

Experience colouful cities, ancient pyramids, and extraordinary national parks and reserves, sampling delicious local cuisine along the way.

From Chile to Peru—treasures old and new 

Setting out from UNESCO-listed Valparaíso in Chile, we’ll journey to beautiful La Serena and Iquique, the gateway to the Atacama Desert. From sunny Arica we’ll head to Paracas, stopping at the Ballestas Islands—Peru’s answer to the Galápagos. After exploring Lima—a South American culinary destination—we plan to land at Salaverry and tour the remains of ancient civilizations around Trujillo, including Chan Chan, the largest adobe city in the Americas. 

 Natural parks of South and Central America 

Our voyage continues to Puerto López, where we’ll explore the biodiversity hotspot of Parque National Machalilla, and while in Manta we’ll visit Montecristi, the home of the Panama hat.
