By choosing Viva, clients are taking advantage of their first-hand knowledge and experience in Custom South America Tours, by taking travellers off the beaten track.

Most intrepid (and not so intrepid) travellers have dreamed of going to the romantically named Latin America. However, knowing what to do and where to go can be a bit challenging as it is a huge continent with a huge number of travel options. Viva Expeditions are THE experts on travel in South America and have put together some two, three, four and five week trips, designed to show travellers the main highlights in the time they have available. They are at pains to point out that these are merely suggested itineraries and can be personalised to suit everyone, including Bolivia travel.

Trekking in South America is world class and for anyone looking for a short day’s hike or a multiday trek, the options are limitless, and Rachel Williams from Viva Expeditions knows this well.  Since strapping on her boots 10 years’ ago to set off on Peru’s Inca Trail Trek to Machu Picchu, she has walked in almost every country in Latin America.  “In Peru I have hiked the Inca Trail three times, as well as the Laras Valley and Salkantay Treks and I have hiked in the Amazon Jungle and the Cordillera Blanca. I have spent years walking through Patagonia’s most beautiful national parks but for every trek I tick off my list I need to add three new ones as there are just so many incredible routes through such a diverse range of landscapes, I can’t get enough”.

Viva Expeditions’ Small Group Expeditions are fully escorted small group tours that are virtually all-inclusive, travelling in one of their purpose built expedition vehicles and enjoying the comforts of quality tourist class hotels throughout the journey, so for your next journey, take a look at the Viva Expeditions website at http://www.vivaexpeditions.com .
