To cross from the windswept High Andes to the delights of Rio is a great adventure. On this trip you will travel across the barren Altiplano, explore the remote dazzling Bolivian Salt Flats, traverse El Impenetrable - the Southern Chaco Desert, and explore the vast animal laden wildlands of the Pantanal. You will discover the beautiful colonial cities of Salta and Potosi, home to the infamous silver mines, and witness the spectacular Iguassu Falls. There is finally the chance to explore the stunning Emerald Coast of Brazil and relax on its world-class beaches.
Operating our own fully equipped vehicles with two western crew members allows you secure hassle free travel. You will travel in a comfortable well maintained, safely driven expedition vehicle that will take you from A to B with a minimum of fuss. Our vehicles are fully lockable and have safes for added security. This trip provides a secure way to explore an unfamiliar world.
Most people will be aged in their twenties or thirties, but we do have a number of older participants. Our groups are international and they come from all walks of life. The mix of sexes is usually even, some come as couples but most are individuals. Some come as seasoned travellers, others are just starting out. But what they all share is a love of adventure and discovery.
