Tour Pace

Free-time to explore at your own pace in each location for those who are more independant and don’t want to have their hands held at every moment.
Five flights included within Sth America on our 2021 South America Tour to avoid too many long drive days mixed with some travel time on full-sized coaches to enjoy the scenery of many key locations. Too many inclusions to mention on this small-group South American trip!
