The Explorer - SA1404
Introduction: A wealth of South American highlights, packed into five weeks. Wind your way down the spine of the Americas, from Lima's bustling markets to Santiago, set in the shadow of the Andes. Along the way discover marine life at the Peruvian coast, the lost city of Machu Picchu and gleaming salt lakes. Add to that hot springs and geysers, the changing shades of the altiplano's multicoloured lakes and San Pedro oasis with its moon-like rock formations in the Atacama Desert.
