Top 5 Highlights of Walking Holidays in South America

The Inca Trail: This is undoubtedly one of the most famous and iconic walking routes in South America, and the world. The trail winds through breathtaking Andean landscapes and presents stunning views of snow-capped peaks and ancient ruins. The highlight of this trek is reaching Machu Picchu, the legendary “Lost City of the Incas.” As you make your way along the trail, you’ll witness the remnants of this ancient civilisation.

Galápagos Islands: These remote and isolated islands are a haven for wildlife and nature lovers. Exploring the islands on foot lets you witness the incredible biodiversity of the archipelago close-up. From giant tortoises to marine iguanas and playful sea lions, the Galápagos Islands host a staggering array of indigenous species found nowhere else on earth. Observe wonderful creatures in their natural habitat and appreciate the delicate balance of nature that exists in this ecological paradise.

Torres del Paine National Park: This UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Chile boasts towering granite peaks, shimmering glaciers and glistening lakes. The park offers a network of well-marked trails that cater to different levels of ability. Whether you take on the challenging W Trek or choose a shorter day hike, the incredible vistas of Torres del Paine will leave you in awe of the raw beauty of this region.

Amazon Rainforest: Walking through the Amazon rainforest is an adventure like no other, giving you a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to discover the world’s largest tropical wilderness. The lush vegetation, vibrant wildlife and symphony of sounds are a sensory overload. As you trek through dense foliage, you’ll encounter monkeys swinging through the trees, colourful birds soaring overhead and perhaps even an elusive jaguar or giant river otters.

Lake Titicaca: situated between Peru and Bolivia, Lake Titicaca is an immense freshwater lake that holds great cultural significance for the local indigenous communities. Walking along its shores offers a unique insight into the traditional way of life of the local people, who have lived on floating reed islands for centuries. Explore the fascinating islands and interact with the locals, learning about their customs and traditions.

I’ve wanted to do this hike for so long and it really didn’t disappoint. The days were long, steep and tough from the very first day to the last but the scenery was just stunning. I loved crossing from one country to the next, seeing the landscape change from alpine cliff to meadow, to glacial valley. It was beautiful. It is full on so get some hill training in but this really was beautiful.

HELEN BRIDGETT Tour du Mont Blanc Hotel Trek

We opted to do this over hiking Mt Kilimanjaro. So glad we did. I loved the variety of the wildlife and the hiking. The terrain was excellent with a good amount of challenge. Clifford our guide was fabulous. He pointed out the wildlife, gave us interesting information on all sorts of things and led our walks managing a range of abilities and speeds. We loved the trip and had an awesome time. Would highly recommend it to anyone.

Naomi Kubina South Africa: Walking & Wildlife

This was a very well organized trip with experienced leaders and very thoughtful, kind people. They made us all feel energized and positive of the hike and our abilities to be able to summit. They stuck to the schedule but were flexible when needed. The food was fabulous too!
