• 27 Breakfast (B)
• 7 Lunch (L)

• Paracas: Mother nature has her favourites, and the Paracas National Reserve is one of them. We’ll take a tour of this protected natural area guilded with deserts, islands and the beautiful blue ocean. 
• Nazca: Climbing up 43 ft in the sky, you’ll see the fascinating group of geoglyphs called the Nazca Lines from a (really) tall tower. Think: desert artwork of spiders, spirals and a mysterious astronaut-like human.
• Arequipa: Get to know the ‘white city’ better. Explore the highlights like Plaza de Armas and take some pics of the incredible backdrop of volcanoes.
• Cusco: Your chance to pick up some mementos at San Pedro Markets and then see Cusco Cathedral, San Blas and Coricancha.
• Sacred Valley: See llamas IRL and learn how Indigenous communities use weaving to share stories, identity, and culture — a tradition passed down without written language (and help keep ancient skills alive by providing sustainable income for local artisans!) Your visit here will help support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities & Communities.
• Cusco: Travel from Cusco to Puno on a full-day journey that turns the transfer into part of the adventure. Along the way, you’ll stop at Andahuaylillas, Raqchi, La Raya and Pucará, (plus enjoy buffet lunch with Andes views). It’s a comfy ride with reclining seats, air conditioning and onboard restrooms.
• La Paz: Tuck into a 3-course set menu at Manq’a (“food” in Aymara), a seriously cool restaurant with a big heart. Your meal supports culinary training and better opportunities for vulnerable youth, while championing sustainable, fairly priced local produce and proud cultural food traditions.
• La Paz: See the city through the eyes of masked shoe shiners (these are the people who keep La Paz moving). Expect a walking tour that goes beyond the usual sights, with real stories about daily life, stigma, and informal work, all while supporting community projects that back shoe shiners and their families.
• La Paz: Leave La Paz after dark and roll into Sucre on a 13-hour overnight journey. Oh yeah, and there are comfy reclining seats on this ride!
• Sucre: Get your bearings in Bolivia’s “White City”. Wandering the colonial centre with its elegant plazas, architecture, and easy-going vibe. Then you can grab a proper local bite at Salteñería El Patio — Sucre’s go-to for juicy salteñas in a classic courtyard setting.
• Potosi: Walk the UNESCO-listed historic centre where grand churches and cobbled streets meet the shadow of Cerro Rico. Expect a loop through Plaza 10 de Noviembre, plus time to dive into the Casa Nacional de la Moneda — the former mint turned museum that tells the story behind Potosí’s wealth (and its cost).
• Potosi: Head to a local ex-miner’s home for a home-cooked meal and a no-filter chat about life in the mines. You’ll enjoy local dishes like quinoa soup and potatoes, plus get a deeper look at the challenges (and resilience) behind this tough line of work.
• Uyuni: Roll through Uyuni’s high-altitude outpost vibes — dusty streets, a lively plaza, and market stalls with llama wool and quinoa on repeat. It’s the rugged launchpad for what you came for… and your Trip Manager will help you get orientated before the big landscapes take over.
• Uyuni Salt Flat: Near the Uyuni Salt Flats, this special stay is made out of salt. Yep, actual salt. It’s an accommodation with a seriously unique twist, serving up a stay in one of South America’s most surreal landscapes. Geological icon meets human ingenuity. Not a bad combo for a night on the trip!
• Salta: Wander around Plaza 9 de Julio and the city’s leafy, pastel-lined streets, taking in the cathedral and the glow of San Francisco Church. As evening hits, you’ll have the chance to soak in the local peña scene (think folk music energy and regional flavours).
• Buenos Aires: Head out with your Trip Manager to get the lay of the land — key spots, neighbourhood vibes, and the best ways to spend your free time. 
• Montevideo: Get your bearings in Uruguay’s laid-back capital with a stroll through Montevideo’s streets, plazas, and waterfront vibes. Expect local colour, easy wandering, and plenty of spots to pause for a café stop or a snack as you explore at your own pace.
• Colonia Del Sacramento: Wander Colonia del Sacramento’s cobbled lanes and colonial streets at the perfect pace. Explore the Barrio Histórico, snap the lighthouse views, café-hop between bougainvillea-draped houses, then finish along the rambla as the Río de la Plata lights up at sunset.
• San Antonio de Areco: Just 500 metres from the historic centre of San Antonio de Areco, this special stay gives you the best of both worlds: a real Argentine ranch setting with the town just a short walk away. Think classic estancia energy and a countryside backdrop without straying too far from the action.
• Iguazú Falls: Take a walk through the lush rainforest trails, finishing up at the very edge of the Devil’s Throat. You’ll have time to wander the different walkways, basking in the views and watching out for rainbows and wildlife too. And if you’re feeling adventurous, how about the optional Gran Aventura speedboat ride?
• Puerto Iguazu: Visit a jungle rescue and rehab centre dedicated to helping native animals recover and return to the rainforest when possible. Riding in by trailer and walking guided forest trails, you’ll hear each animal’s rescue story and learn about the real threats they face (trafficking, habitat loss, and road accidents).
• Rio de Janeiro:
  Ever heard of Favelas? They’re growing neighbourhoods in Brazil. And on this tour, we’ll visit Favela Cantagalo near Rio. We’ll check out the Portal of Saint Roman, walk through alleyways, see the 10 paintings of the Houses-Screen, and even stop by a few viewpoints along the way. You’ll even visit the Museu de Favela-MUF, a historical museum about memories and cultural heritage of favelas in the world. It’s a collection about 20,000 residents and their ways of life, and how their stories are an unknown but important part of Rio de Janeiro’s history. Trust us, you don’t wanna miss this one.

See La Paz through the eyes of local shoe shiners on a half-day walking tour. Take in viewpoints and busy streets while hearing personal perspectives on work, family and life in the city.

The guides’ stories bring attention to the stigma surrounding shoe shining and the realities of informal employment. The experience supports community projects for shoe shiners and their families, offering a local lens beyond conventional sightseeing.

Wander Colonia del Sacramento’s Barrio Histórico on an orientation through cobbled lanes. Pass the old city gate, Plaza Mayor and the basilica, with bougainvillea-framed buildings and glimpses of the Río de la Plata along the way.

The UNESCO-listed quarter reflects Portuguese and Spanish influences in its streets and architecture. Walking its compact centre reveals a different pace from Uruguay’s capital; climbing the lighthouse is a separate optional activity.

Visit Guira Oga near Puerto Iguazú to learn how native animals are rescued and rehabilitated. Travel into the refuge and follow guided forest trails while hearing the stories behind animals in its care.

The centre’s work addresses threats including trafficking, habitat loss and road accidents, with release back into the wild pursued where possible. This visit brings the conservation challenges of the surrounding rainforest into focus.

Explore Paracas National Reserve on a tour of Peru’s desert coastline, where ochre cliffs meet the blue Pacific. Take in the reserve’s rocky shore, open desert and striking contrast between sand and sea.

This protected landscape shelters coastal wildlife and preserves one of Peru’s most distinctive environments. Its sparse terrain makes the shapes of the cliffs and the changing colours of the water especially vivid.

Meet your travelling crew over dinner at a local restaurant in Lima. It is a hosted introduction to the people you will explore South America with, set against the bustle of Peru’s coastal capital.

Lima’s food culture draws on Indigenous ingredients, Spanish influences and generations of migration. Sharing a table here offers a welcoming first taste of the city’s culinary character, without turning a group meal into a formal sightseeing tour.

Ride a buggy across Huacachina’s towering dunes, with the chance to try sandboarding on their slopes. The desert oasis sits amid vast banks of sand, offering steep descents and wide views across the surrounding desert.

Huacachina’s palm-fringed lagoon provides a striking contrast to the dunes. Whether you choose a board or take in the ride, this is a hands-on way to experience the scale and texture of Peru’s coastal desert.

View the Nazca Lines from a tower above Peru’s desert plain. Look down on part of the immense collection of geometric forms and figures etched into the ground, and consider how their creators designed works best understood from above.

Made by the ancient Nazca culture, the geoglyphs have endured for centuries in the region’s dry climate. The tower offers a ground-based viewpoint; it is not a flight over the lines.

Discover Arequipa on a guided city tour, taking in Plaza de Armas, colonial streets and the volcanic backdrop that frames the city. See the white-stone architecture responsible for Arequipa’s enduring nickname, the White City.

Many historic buildings use pale sillar, a local volcanic stone. The tour introduces a city shaped by both Spanish colonial architecture and its dramatic Andean setting; an interior visit to Santa Catalina Monastery is not specified.

Explore Cusco on a city tour that introduces its Inca heritage and colonial landmarks. See highlights including Cusco Cathedral, San Blas and Coricancha, with the chance to browse the colour and produce of San Pedro Market.

Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire, and its streets still reveal finely fitted Inca stonework beneath later buildings. The tour helps put the city’s layered architecture and living traditions into context.

Meet llamas, alpacas and vicuñas in the Sacred Valley and learn about traditional Andean weaving from local artisans. See how patterns, colours and techniques can carry stories of community and identity, and try your hand at the traditional game of Sapo.

Textile knowledge has been passed between generations across the Andes. This visit supports artisans who keep those skills in practice, making it a cultural exchange as well as a closer look at the valley’s animals and landscapes.

Begin the guided Inca Trail at KM 82, walking towards Ayapata with a trekking team of guides, porters and cooks. Follow mountain paths past Inca remains and look towards the snow-covered slopes of La Verónica.

This opening section introduces the changing terrain and altitude of the historic route to Machu Picchu. Camping beneath the Andean sky brings you close to the landscape, while the trekking team supports the journey on foot.

Climb to Dead Woman’s Pass, the Inca Trail’s highest point at approximately 4,215 metres, for expansive Andean views. The demanding guided trek continues through the Pacaymayu Valley towards the circular ruins of Runkurakay and the remains at Sayaqmarka.

At Runkurakay Pass, take part in a Pachamama offering connected to Andean respect for Mother Earth. This substantial mountain section is as much about the cultural landscape as the physical achievement.

Trek through cloud forest to Phuyupatamarka, the Inca site known as the City Above the Clouds. Descend ancient stone steps past Intipata’s agricultural terraces and explore the ruins of Wiñay Wayna, set into a steep green hillside.

The route reveals how Inca builders adapted their roads, terraces and ceremonial places to rugged mountain terrain. Views towards snow-capped peaks and the Sacred Valley make this one of the trail’s most varied stretches.

Walk to the Sun Gate, Inti Punku, for a first view of Machu Picchu from the Inca Trail. Enter the archaeological site for an approximately two-hour guided tour through its temples, plazas and precisely built stone structures.

Perched above the Urubamba Valley, Machu Picchu is a remarkable example of Inca engineering in a steep mountain setting. The guided visit connects its architecture with the wider landscape crossed on the trek.

Explore the Route of the Sun between Cusco and Puno through a series of cultural stops. Visit Andahuaylillas, known for its richly decorated church, and Raqchi, home to the monumental Temple of Wiracocha; the journey also includes La Raya and the Pucará Museum.

These stops reveal different layers of Andean history, from pre-Inca cultures to Inca architecture and colonial religious art. The high-altitude viewpoints add context to the changing landscape.

Cruise Lake Titicaca and step onto a floating reed island. See its totora-reed platform and houses up close, learning how this versatile plant is used to construct and maintain homes on the water.

The islands reflect long-standing knowledge of life on the high-altitude lake. Visiting one gives a tangible sense of the work involved in sustaining a community-built environment, rather than viewing it only from a boat.

Explore a quieter part of Taquile Island on a short hike to an open-air market. Encounter community dances, textiles and local traditions, then follow a pre-Inca path towards a sandy lakeshore.

Taquile is especially known for its textile culture, in which weaving and knitting are important expressions of identity. The walk pairs those living traditions with open views across Lake Titicaca’s deep-blue water and distant shores.

Stay with a local family on Lake Titicaca’s Capachica Peninsula and share a meal made with local produce. Spend time in a lakeside community and take part in a small celebration of traditional music and dancing.

The homestay offers a closer look at everyday life beside the lake than a brief sightseeing stop can provide. Accommodation is basic but comfortable, with the emphasis on hospitality, conversation and the peninsula’s quiet setting.

Gather for a welcome dinner in La Paz with your travelling crew. Share a hosted evening in Bolivia’s high-altitude capital, where the city spreads across a deep Andean valley.

La Paz has a distinct street-food and restaurant culture influenced by ingredients from the surrounding highlands. This dinner is an opportunity to connect over a meal; the itinerary does not identify it as the separate Manq’a restaurant experience.

Enjoy a three-course set menu at Manq’a in La Paz. The restaurant celebrates Bolivian ingredients and food traditions while offering culinary training and opportunities to vulnerable young people.

Manq’a means “food” in Aymara. Dining here connects the flavours on your plate with a wider commitment to fairly priced local produce and skills development, giving a restaurant meal a meaningful community dimension.

Walk through Sucre’s colonial centre, getting your bearings among whitewashed streets and open plazas. See the architecture that gives Bolivia’s White City its name and experience its quieter, pedestrian-friendly atmosphere.

Sucre played an important role in Bolivia’s independence and remains the country’s constitutional capital. Its historic centre preserves an elegant collection of colonial-era buildings; museum entry and a stop for salteñas are not specified as part of this included walk.

Walk Potosí’s UNESCO-listed historic centre, passing Plaza 10 de Noviembre and colonial facades beneath Cerro Rico. Visit the Casa Nacional de la Moneda, the former mint whose exhibits trace the city’s silver history.

Potosí became one of the colonial world’s great mining centres, but its wealth came at an immense human cost. The mint adds essential context to the grand buildings outside, revealing the labour behind the silver boom.

Share a home-cooked meal with a local miner’s family in Potosí. Hear firsthand stories of life connected to the mines while enjoying Bolivian home cooking, with dishes such as quinoa soup and potatoes.

Cerro Rico has shaped the city for centuries, and mining remains part of many families’ lives. Conversation around the table offers a personal perspective on the challenges and resilience behind Potosí’s historic reputation.

Get oriented in Uyuni with your Trip Manager in this high-altitude town near Bolivia’s famous salt flat. Take in its dusty streets, central plaza and markets where llama wool and quinoa feature among everyday goods.

Uyuni is both a working Altiplano town and a base for exploring the surrounding landscapes. The brief orientation provides a sense of the place and its local character, rather than treating it simply as a departure point.

Explore Salar de Uyuni by guided 4×4, visiting the rusting locomotives of the Train Cemetery and seeing salt production around Colchani. Cross the immense white expanse, walk among cacti on Incahuasi Island and stop for playful perspective photographs.

The world’s largest salt flat creates an almost featureless horizon that changes with the light. A sunset stop reveals its scale and shifting colour, while the earlier visits connect the landscape to local industry and railway history.

Spend a night in a salt-built hotel near Salar de Uyuni. See how blocks of locally sourced salt have been used to create an unusual place to stay in Bolivia’s remote Altiplano.

The material is more than a decorative detail: it links the accommodation to the vast salt landscape outside. This special stay brings a closer appreciation of how people have adapted the region’s defining natural resource.

Cross the Andean Altiplano to its highland lagoons, stopping near the Ollague Volcano viewpoint and the waters of Cañapa, Chiarcota and Turquiri. Watch for flamingos feeding against a backdrop of volcanoes and copper-coloured hills.

At Laguna Colorada, reddish water and pale mineral deposits create one of the reserve’s most distinctive scenes. The shifting colours come from the lake’s natural conditions, while its birdlife makes this remote environment feel unexpectedly lively.

Visit a high-altitude geothermal field in Bolivia’s Eduardo Avaroa reserve, where fumaroles hiss and mud pots bubble in the thin mountain air. Observe the volcanic activity at close range in a stark, open landscape.

The itinerary also offers time at nearby hot springs, where you can choose to soak while looking out across the Altiplano. Together, the steaming ground and warm water reveal the volcanic forces beneath this seemingly still terrain.

Explore the Salvador Dalí Desert, taking in wind-sculpted rock formations scattered across an austere highland plain. Continue to Laguna Verde and Laguna Blanca, where green and pale waters sit beneath towering volcanoes.

These landscapes form part of Bolivia’s remote southwestern Altiplano. Mineral-rich water, open skies and volcanic peaks give each stop a different palette, making the journey a scenic exploration rather than a simple drive across the plateau.

Explore central Salta on an orientation around Plaza 9 de Julio. Take in leafy streets, arcaded cafés, the cathedral and the colourful facade of San Francisco Church.

Salta’s historic centre preserves a strong colonial-era character, distinct from Argentina’s larger cities. The walk introduces its main landmarks and easy-going atmosphere while giving you a clearer sense of the city’s plazas and surrounding streets.

Get to know Buenos Aires with your Trip Manager on an orientation covering useful landmarks and neighbourhood character. Learn how to navigate the capital and identify places you may want to explore independently.

Buenos Aires brings together grand avenues, distinctive barrios and a strong café culture. This introduction is designed to help you make sense of the city’s scale and personality; it is not presented as an in-depth guided tour of specific monuments.

Walk through Montevideo on a city orientation, getting a feel for its streets, plazas and relationship with the waterfront. Discover the relaxed pace of Uruguay’s capital while finding your bearings for further exploration.

Montevideo combines civic squares and older urban streets with the long Río de la Plata shoreline. The walk offers an introduction to that contrast and to the everyday atmosphere of a capital known for taking its time.

Stay at an estancia in San Antonio de Areco, surrounded by the setting of Argentina’s pampas. Explore the ranch grounds and experience a countryside base within walking distance of the town’s historic centre.

San Antonio de Areco is closely associated with gaucho heritage, from horsemanship to traditional crafts. The stay places you near that cultural landscape without implying that horseback riding is included; riding is offered separately as an option.

Walk the Argentine-side trails at Iguazú Falls, moving through subtropical forest towards viewpoints over the cascades. Reach the edge of the Devil’s Throat area and feel the spray and sound of water plunging into the gorge.

The walkway network reveals the falls from multiple angles and offers chances to spot rainforest wildlife and rainbows in the mist. The optional jet-boat ride is separate from this included visit.

Visit Rio’s Favela Cantagalo on a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER® experience. Walk local alleyways, see the Portal of Saint Roman and the Houses-Screen paintings, and pause at viewpoints that place the neighbourhood within the wider city.

At the Museu de Favela, encounter accounts of residents’ memories and cultural heritage. The visit centres community perspectives and shows why favela histories are an important part of understanding Rio de Janeiro.

Ride mountain-bike trails beyond Cusco on an optional experience that trades city streets for Andean scenery. Explore the landscape outside the former Inca capital from a more active perspective.

The surrounding hills and valleys give this outing a different feel from a walking tour of Cusco’s historic centre. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour; the itinerary does not specify a route or difficulty level.

Hike to Rainbow Mountain on an optional early-start excursion from Cusco. Climb through high-altitude Andean terrain to view the bands of colour that make the mountain a distinctive natural landmark.

The striped appearance comes from mineral-rich geological layers exposed over time. The elevation makes the walk physically demanding, so the views are earned on foot. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Prepare Peruvian classics yourself during an optional interactive dining experience in Cusco. Take part in making the meal rather than only ordering it, with the activity focused on the ingredients and flavours on your plate.

Peruvian cooking brings together long-standing Andean food traditions and influences from across the country. The itinerary does not name specific dishes or a venue. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Watch the Fighting Cholitas perform live during an optional evening in La Paz. See wrestling, theatrical rivalries and colourful traditional dress come together in a lively local spectacle.

The performers have become a distinctive presence in Bolivian popular culture, challenging expectations while putting on an energetic show. This is an entertainment experience rather than a city tour. It is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Explore the Maragua area outside Sucre on an optional excursion to its dramatic landscapes and dinosaur footprints. Leave the city behind to encounter the region’s unusual geology and traces of prehistoric life.

The footprint sites offer a striking reminder that Bolivia’s mountain landscapes have a much older story beneath their present-day appearance. This excursion is at additional cost and bookable on tour; the itinerary does not specify an exact walking route.

Visit a mine near Potosí on an optional tour for a closer look at the work behind the city’s long mining history. The experience adds a present-day perspective to the stories told by its colonial buildings and former mint.

Mining on Cerro Rico has shaped Potosí’s fortunes and carried serious human costs. Conditions can be challenging, so consider the nature of the visit before booking. This tour is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Try sandboarding near San Pedro de Atacama on an optional desert outing. Take to sandy slopes for an active way to experience the terrain beyond the town’s adobe-lined streets.

The Atacama’s dry air and stark landforms create a very different setting from a coastal beach or ski slope. This is offered as a separate activity, not part of the included Altiplano exploration. It is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Visit Vallecito near San Pedro de Atacama at sunset on an optional tour. Watch the low light bring out warm tones and long shadows across the desert’s sculpted terrain.

The appeal is the landscape itself: open views, unusual shapes and a changing palette as daylight fades. The itinerary names Vallecito rather than the better-known Valle de la Luna, so the two should not be confused. This tour is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Experience a Salta peña over dinner and a live folk show. Listen to regional music while tasting local flavours in a setting built around the traditions of northwest Argentina.

Peñas bring people together through song, performance and shared food, making them a distinctive part of Salta’s evening culture. This hosted dinner and show is an optional experience at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Join an Argentine Sherpa dinner in Buenos Aires for an optional food-focused evening. Share a meal that offers a more structured introduction to local dining than choosing a restaurant independently.

Buenos Aires has a strong social eating culture, with dinner often serving as a time to linger and talk. The itinerary does not specify the venue or menu for this experience. It is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Explore Tigre and its riverside delta on an optional trip from Buenos Aires. Discover a water-oriented landscape of channels and island life that contrasts with the capital’s busy streets.

The Paraná Delta is shaped by waterways rather than conventional roads, giving the area its distinctive pace and scenery. The itinerary does not specify a boat ride or particular stops, so neither is assumed. This trip is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Enjoy dinner and a tango show in Buenos Aires on an optional evening out. Watch the close footwork, musical phrasing and expressive partnership that have made tango an enduring symbol of the city.

Tango grew from the cultural exchanges of the Río de la Plata region and remains closely linked to Buenos Aires nightlife. The dinner-and-show experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

See more of Montevideo by bike on an optional ride through Uruguay’s coastal capital. Cover more ground than a walking orientation and take in the city with the breeze in your face.

Montevideo’s broad streets and waterfront setting lend themselves to a different perspective from the saddle. The itinerary does not specify the route or individual stops. This ride is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Climb Colonia’s lighthouse for elevated views over the Barrio Histórico’s rooftops and the Río de la Plata. The climb offers a fresh perspective on the compact old quarter explored at street level.

Set among Colonia’s historic buildings, the lighthouse connects the town’s architectural character with its waterfront setting. Entry and the climb are optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour; access may depend on opening arrangements.

Choose a horseback ride during your estancia stay near San Antonio de Areco. Experience the pampas from the saddle in a town strongly associated with Argentina’s gaucho traditions.

Horsemanship has long been part of rural life in this region, making riding a fitting way to engage with its cultural setting. The itinerary does not specify a route or riding duration. This activity is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

See Iguazú Falls from above on an optional helicopter flight. Take in the broad sweep of cascades and surrounding rainforest from an aerial viewpoint that reveals the scale of the falls.

The view contrasts with the close-up thunder and spray experienced on the included walkways. Flight arrangements and visibility are subject to local conditions. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Ride a jet boat near Iguazú Falls on an optional adventure that brings you close to the river’s spray and the power of the cascades. It offers a more physical, water-level perspective than the included forest walkways.

The falls’ noise and mist are central to the experience, so expect a wet ride. The itinerary also refers to this option as the Gran Aventura speedboat ride. It is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Explore the blue lagoons near Ilha Grande by speedboat on an optional island outing. View the forested coastline from the water and reach the clear-water scenery that makes the surrounding bays so appealing.

Ilha Grande’s steep, green hills rise directly above its sheltered inlets, creating a vivid contrast between rainforest and sea. The itinerary does not name specific lagoon stops. This experience is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Take the train up to Christ the Redeemer on an optional visit in Rio de Janeiro. See the monumental statue on Corcovado and look out across the city’s hills, bays and dense neighbourhoods.

The statue is one of Rio’s defining landmarks, while its elevated setting makes the city’s dramatic geography easier to understand. This train-and-landmark visit is at additional cost and bookable on tour.

Gather for a farewell dinner in Rio de Janeiro with your travelling crew. Share a hosted final evening and reflect together on the landscapes, cities and communities encountered across the journey.

It is a social dining experience rather than a sightseeing excursion; the itinerary does not name a restaurant or set menu. Joining the dinner is optional, at additional cost and bookable on tour.
