Experience the vast contrasts between the empty Bolivian altiplano; the packed cities of Rio, Buenos Aires and Bogota; the windswept beauty of Patagonia, the Amazon rainforest, crammed with life; the European feel of Santiago and Buenos Aires, and the ancient indigenous cultures of the High Andes.  This expedition gets you deep into the heart of, and up close to South America, allowing you to experience all of its flavours, curiosities and contradictions.
