Independent tailor-made holidays for curious travellers...

Chile, Argentina, Patagonia, Peru, Amazon, Ecuador, Galapagos Islands

Active Travel, Australia’s most innovative tour operator, specialises in tailor-made tours for individuals who want the classic highlights and the not-so-obvious ones of South America.

Believe it or not, it's often cheaper to go on a private tour than to join a group. And, importantly, you have a lot more flexibility. Active Travel will arrange your itinerary according to your budget and time constraints and can book you into 4 or 5-star hotels as well as a selection of fabulous character accommodation options. This brochure offers you a selection of their most popular itineraries. Travel is by private vehicle, with driver and expert guide. You are looked after from the moment you arrive to the moment you depart.

Active Travel's tours are not simply designed to show you the highlights of these great countries; there are some extra-special places of interest like Coca in the Amazon (Ecuador), the wine regions of Mendoza and the Casablanca Valley (Argentina and Chile), as well as the old parts of Cusco (Peru) - and stunning examples of European colonial architecture in Argentina’s glorious capital of Buenos Aires that most visitors miss.

Many of the programmes in this brochure have been designed to fit perfectly with Antarctic expedition cruises, which depart from the bottom of South America. No matter which expedition company you are travelling with, these tours are an ideal option either before, or after your voyage to the white continent.

This brochure offers a sample of the kinds of trip Active Travel can organise for you - but if you want to do extra things, no problem. Just let Active know what you want and they'll build an itinerary for you.
