South & Central America Highlights

Machu Picchu
Iguazu Falls
Rio de Janeiro
Baños
Looking down on the lush greenery of Machu Picchu with ancient stone ruins in Peru on a South and Central America tour

Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu, at an elevation of 2,450 metres (much lower than nearby Cusco), has the most spectacular setting of any ruin in the world. This Lost City of the Incas is a place everyone must see at least once. Unknown to the outside world until Yale's Hiram Bingham discovered it in 1911, Machu Picchu sits on the spine of a ridge 610 metres above the rushing Urubamba River. Capping the end of the ridge is Huaynu Picchu, a soaring peak that offers a challenging climb—and a bird's-eye view of the complex as a reward. Once atop Huaynu Picchu, linger for a view of the surrounding misty green-clad mountains and you'll understand why the last Incas chose to hide there.

Aerial view of Iguazu falls on a South and Central America tour

Iguazu Falls

Whether you spell it Iguassu Falls (Brazil) or Iguazu Falls (Argentina), these thundering falls are arguably the most impressive waterfalls in the world and from the Argentinian side it is possible to get up close and personal! On this side, the walkways and vantage points are a lot closer to the falls than on the Brazilian side and from here it is possible to experience the intensity of the Devil’s Throat. Straddling the border between Brazil and Argentina, the falls stretch across four kilometres, hurtling down eighty-two metres into the Iguazu River. Dramatic scenery and the sheer scale of the falls have made them a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Ipanema beach in Rio de Janeiro with people sunbathing under umbrellas, the mountains in the background on a South and Central America tour

Rio de Janeiro

Brazil’s ‘jewel in the crown’ has cast its spell on visitors for centuries and it’s easy to see why. It’s one of the biggest cities in South America and life here moves at a fantastic pace. Rio’s legendary carnival is the main draw for many visitors, but for those who miss it, there’s no shortage of entertainment from religious festivals to sporting and cultural events. All year round, the bars and clubs are alive with the beat of live music, while the beaches provide a daytime playground for both locals and tourists. Beyond the city centre is Corcovado Hill, home to one the ‘New Seven Wonders of the World’, the Christ of Redeemer statue. You can also see spectacular panoramic views of the entire city on a cable car ride up Sugarloaf Mountain.

Looking down into the Devil's Cauldron Waterfall in Baños, Ecaudor, white water is rushing through the rocks and lush jungle on a South and Central America tour

Baños

Set in a verdant, mountainous region in central Ecuador, Baños is a wonderful place to relax. Among the area’s attractions are several natural springs, which gives the town its name (“baths”). Several places around town offer a chance for a good, long soak, however the temperature does vary quite considerably! The lovely scenery around Baños is the area’s other main attraction, including the Devil's Cauldron – a waterfall located just 18kms from the town centre. For spectacular views, you can cross over suspension bridges and trek through mesmerising trails. In Baños itself, try some of the taffy (called melcocha) made in the shop-fronts along the streets or see how famed Ecuadorian guitar-maker, Jacinto Guevara practices his craft.
