A small detail or unexpected highlight that made the trip
- Seeing condors flying and wild llamas and alpacas wandering freely in the Andes.
The overall atmosphere

We have used Riviera Travel before and as usual this holiday was excellently organised and run by Riviera and its tour guide Ana which meant we had our best ever adventure holiday. We highly recommend Riviera Travel and Peru as an adventure holiday destination.
Why South America leaves such a lasting impression
Peru is famous for its mystical ancient ruins, including the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu, but the real beauty of the country comes in the small moments, tasting authentic Peruvian cuisine for the first time, and connecting with warm-hearted locals who will share their traditions and stories with you.
In Brazil, let the rhythms of samba and bossa nova sweep you off your feet as you dance your way through Rio de Janeiro. The Amazon Rainforest beckons with its biodiversity and pristine beauty, promising once-in-a-lifetime encounters with wildlife. And of course, the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue watches over it all.
For wildlife lovers, there are few places as perfect as Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. Snorkel alongside playful sea lions, marvel at giant tortoises, and explore volcanic landscapes that feel like another planet.
Argentina, the land of tango, Malbec wine, and gaucho culture, welcomes you with open arms. Buenos Aires pulses with life, while just outside of the city you have beautiful Pampas ranches and the impressive Iguazu Falls.
So, are you ready to embark on a journey of a lifetime? The magic of South America awaits.
