South America, and especially the southern part, has been home to complex and well developed civilizations. Notably, the Inca Empire, which ranged from the Central Andes of Peru to Central Argentina. Nowadays you can still feel the spirit of this ancient culture in north-western Argentina and Bolivia, where the Inca culture is still strong. Buildings, churches and settlements are a testimony of centuries of Spanish colonisation, and wonderful architectural traces can be found in towns and countryside alike. A prime example of this are the Jesuit mission ruins found in northeast Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia. One of these tours will give you the chance to get a real feel for the lifestyle of the region, where pre-Inca ruins, markets and small villages blend perfectly with the wonderful scenery. The colours, the music and the local cuisine can be felt vividly in every corner. Cities also have a lot to offer and the cosmopolitan Buenos Aires provides various opportunities to experience the most interesting historical and cultural aspects of the region, such as the Tango, the Gauchos of the Pampas, and of course, a taste of “Mate” and a good steak! |

Antarctica is impossible to describe in only a few words. Once you cross the Drake Passage, pursued by myriads of seabirds, breathtaking landscapes await, with majestic glaciers and icebergs, high mountains and limpid snowfields. These are home to a varied fauna: Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adelie Penguins are found in dense colonies... |
