Conquering the Continent: Your South America Overland Adventure

Our next big trans continental trip through South America is upcoming and due to start in Colombia at the start of October. We drive all the way south through Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia and Chile, to the southern tip of Argentina at Ushuaia. Then it is back north again through Argentina to Uruguay and Paraguay before finishing in Rio in time for Carnival. You can then continue from there further north through Brazil, taking in Suriname, Guyana and French Guyana before finishing back in Brazil in Manaus. 

There aren’t many spaces left for this year's trip, so book now if you'd like to join. Plus, mention you've read this newsletter for a 5% discount!
