The Best Private Trips To Book In South America

From the iconic beaches of Rio de Janeiro to the mystical ruins of Machu Picchu and a few hidden gems along the way, these are the best South American itineraries that you can book as a private tour with Culture Trip.

There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, but it also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements. Simply get in touch with our Travel Experts to organise your personalised Culture Trip adventure.

Adventurous Ecuador

It might be one of the smallest nations in South America, but Ecuador sure does pack one hell of a punch when it comes to adventure travel. That’s the inspiration behind this high-octane itinerary, which goes from Andes to Amazon. You’ll explore Cotopaxi National Park on horseback, hike around the Andean crater lake of Quilotoa and cycle along the stunning Banos Waterfall Route. True adrenaline junkies will jump at the chance to hop on the Swing at the End of the World, before we go whitewater rafting down Jatunyacu River, one of the main tributaries to the Amazon. Back on solid ground, you’ll embark on a nighttime forest hike in search of rare birds and swinging monkeys, and a morning trek to learn about the medicinal quality of Amazonian plants.
