With lost cities, rainbow mountains, salt plains and indigenous wildlife, cultural holidays in South America are imbued with a magic all of their own. From the Caribbean Coast of Venezuela to the glacial fjords of Patagonia, South America’s epic canvas combines a riotous mix of culture and outstanding adventure trails. Delve into the ancient cultures of Machu Picchu, watch passionate tango dancers on Argentina’s streets and immerse yourself in the traditions of a local family on a home stay.

Discover the ancient history and indigenous traditions of Peru when you experience the colourful Incan festival, Inti Raymi, also known as the Festival of the Sun.

As with our other Exodus adventures, the trip was very well organised with a comprehensive itinerary. We did a loop of the island and saw most things you would want to see. There was good mix of temples and other ruins (Greek, Roman, etc.) and we got a good understanding of the complex history of the island (given that pretty much every empire, colonial power, etc. over the last 3000 years had bulldozed their way through the island). Our excellent leader Tiziano (more below) introduced us to the culture, food, etc. of Sicily. The itinerary was full-on, but there was time to slow down and explore. The local guides were very good. A particular shout out to Vanessa who showed us around Catania and Neapolis with a fun, honest, and critical eye.

Kurt Mills Sicily Grand Tour

This is a whirlwind introduction to the Atlas Mountain at an affordable price. Thoroughly enjoyed my return to Morocco after 25 years away. It has changed a lot and mostly for the better. This tour takes you through the foothills of the Atlas Mountains, such beautiful scenery but there’s not enough walking in the mountains. I would have liked more time off the bus generally.

Overall a tremendous trip. It is very demanding and requires considerable fitness. Mt Fugi was tremendous to see.
Such beautiful trees and gardens .. even the moss was lovely!
