Trekking holidays in South America
Vibrant and spirited, the South American countries hold a continuing fascination for the world's adventure travellers Across the length and breadth of the vast Latin American continent, there is an incredible diversity of natural environment - from the high peaks of the Andes to the pampas plains of Patagonia and from the lush rainforest of the Amazon Basin to the arid moonscape of the Atacama Desert. This is a veritable playground for the trekker and adventure traveller, made even more special by the cultural richness of each of the 21 Latin American countries. Peru's unmatched Machu Picchu is still No.1 amongst the continent's man-made wonders, whilst nearby Choquequirao is just starting to receive the attention it deserves. Wherever you travel, however, you can expect to find a wealth of historical interest, whether it is Guatemala’s Mayan archaeology, Nicaragua’s Spanish Colonial towns or the pre-Inca sites of Bolivia. With the addition of our brand new Brazilian Samba holiday, KE's range of trips for 2007 really does span the continent - north to south and west to east.
