Viva Expeditions are well known as the best way to see South America, and Kiwis have been discovering this continent with them for several years now. The good news is that they now have more exciting tours than ever before, and their fabulous new website sets these out so that you can choose where you want to go and how.

You can go on an adventure and take a boat ride to witness one of the most remarkable waterfalls, the Iguazu Falls; spot the elusive wildlife in the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon Rainforest; take a walk through the second driest place on the planet, the Atacama Desert in Chile and discover the spectacular ruins of Machu Picchu, the Lost City of the Incas, taking pleasure in experiencing the different cultures by meeting friendly locals, learning about their history and enjoying the best regional cuisines.

From learning the Argentinian tango in a local café to hiking through the most beautiful places on Earth, South America will offer you the ultimate adventure either on a multi-country tour or just exploring one of the stunning Latin American countries. You can choose from their range of unique trips, or contact Viva Expeditions and they will be happy to tailor the perfect itinerary to suit your requirements. Below are a few examples of what you can see and do on a Viva Expeditions trip.

First up, the Amazon jungle, the world’s largest tropical rainforest and ranked as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, covering almost 40 percent of the continent and crossing the Amazon River, by far the world’s largest river by volume. Then there is one of the planet’s most inspiring sights, the Iguazu Falls, the largest waterfall in the world, split between Brazil and Argentina. It is made up of some 275 individual waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1984.

Machu Picchu, the ancient Incan citadel, is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, set high in the Andes Mountains in Peru at an altitude of 2,430 metres and made up of more than 150 buildings.

Located at the southern end of South America, Patagonia is home to stunning mountains, ice fields and wild land, barely touched by humans.

Don’t forget the wonderful Galapagos Archipelago, 19 islands situated 1.000km from the Ecuadorian mainland and home to exotic wildlife. Due to the extreme isolation, you can spot animals seen nowhere else including marine iguanas, giant tortoises, frigatebirds and more. The Atacama Desert is the second-driest place on Earth, and the landscape that includes salt flats, sandy deserts, rocky peaks and active volcanoes is a stunning and a perfect place for landscape photographers.
