February 21, 2025

South America is a continent of vibrant cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and unforgettable adventures. From the bustling streets of Rio de Janeiro to the awe-inspiring ruins of Machu Picchu, the wonders of South America are waiting for you to explore. At Jamie Wake Travel, we specialise in creating bespoke holidays to South America that suit your unique travel preferences, ensuring that your journey is as exciting and relaxing as you wish it to be.

Uncover the Rich History of South America

South America is home to some of the world’s most iconic historical sites. A holiday to South America isn’t complete without visiting the ancient Incan city of Machu Picchu in Peru. Nestled high in the Andes, this stunning archaeological marvel draws visitors from across the globe. Whether you choose to hike the Inca Trail or take a scenic train ride to the site, you’ll be immersed in the awe of this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

For those who enjoy exploring vibrant cultures, cities like Buenos Aires, Argentina, offer an eclectic mix of European elegance and Latin American energy. Or head to Bolivia to explore the ethereal Uyuni Salt Flats, where the horizon appears to stretch infinitely under the vast sky.

Explore the Natural Wonders of South America

A holiday to South America offers plenty of natural beauty to discover. From the dense Amazon Rainforest to the stunning Iguazu Falls on the border of Brazil and Argentina, the continent boasts some of the most dramatic and diverse landscapes in the world. Imagine embarking on a boat journey along the Amazon River, surrounded by the lush jungle and exotic wildlife that call it home.

For those seeking adventure, the Patagonian region offers dramatic glaciers, rugged mountains, and endless trekking opportunities. Whether you’re hiking in Torres del Paine National Park or sailing through the Chilean fjords, you’ll find no shortage of awe-inspiring views.

Experience the Vibrant Cultures of South America

South America is known for its diverse and passionate cultures. A holiday to South America lets you experience a world where lively festivals, traditional music, and delicious cuisine define the atmosphere. Argentina’s tango, Brazil’s carnival, and Peru’s Inti Raymi are just a few of the rich cultural celebrations you can experience throughout the year.

In Rio de Janeiro, join in the excitement of Carnival, one of the world’s most famous festivals, or take a samba class to dance the night away. Elsewhere, try Peru’s ceviche or Argentina’s world-renowned steaks. With our personalised service, we can tailor your holiday to South America so that you can enjoy the best of the local culture, no matter where you go.
