What people love about Brazil And Peru Tours
- Ultimate South America
One of the highlights for me was the Tango show in Buenos Aires, really enjoyed that. The dinner and show in Cusco was a bit of a let down. I thought the accommodations were fine , nothing to rave about. I was not impressed with the Cusco hotel or the one in Puno, very noisy and no air conditioning so had to open windows to get any air flow and that of course only made matters worse when it came to noise. Loved Iguassu falls and the resort we stayed at there was very lovely, nice to have a chance just to relax by the pool . My husband was disappointed when we got to Peru , not because he did not enjoy the visits with locals and family's but thought the experience was cheapened due to the fact they always were trying to sell you something. I have to agree , it would have been better with out always having the try to sell you items and several people commented that they felt they should buy something even though they didn't really want anything. It got to be a little too much for most. There were a few days where we did not get to stop for a proper lunch only a store on the way and that didn't impress me , too rushed . All in all I enjoyed the trip very much , and I would recommend Cosmos to friends and family .
- Exploring South America - 13 days
It was a trip of a lifetime! Most tours were fantastic. Some of the larger group tours were a bit lengthy but simply due to the amount of people. Every single guide across all countries was excellent. On time, helpful and very knowledgeable. The accommodation was mostly ok. Some new some old some small but all part of 3 star accommodation. We stayed an extra night on either side of trip. One night in Lima and one night in Rio. Lujan from Say Hueque organised the extra nights without a problem. All.in safe and central areas. She also organised all the transfers and internal flights. The only thing I'd recommend is staying an extra night in Buenos Aires as it was better than expected and stay in newer hotels. Some had mouldy rooms and soundproofed rooms doesn't seem to exist in any city we stayed in. Our favourite hotels in this trip were the ones in Cuzco Plaza and Valley Sagrado. Our favourite parts were Machu Pichu and Iguazu Falls. Everything was perfect. Would definitely recommend Lujan and tour again.

The trip was made by my tour guide. Matthew was always the last one leaving the party and the first one getting up. His fun loving and knowledgable personality shone the entire trip. Thank you Matt

- Winter 2025 / 2026
If you're heading to South America in winter (June through August), we focus on indoor experiences and city exploration to work around the weather. These 15-24 day tours blend time in Lima and Buenos Aires with cozy activities like wine tastings, cooking classes and also tango shows. While Amazon segments run shorter in winter, our travelers often report seeing more wildlife since animals gather near the rivers. Our guides are experts at timing Machu Picchu visits for when the morning mist clears, typically around 10am in winter. Many travelers enjoy extra time in Argentina's wine regions plus longer stays at Rio's beachfront hotels, where you can watch the dramatic winter waves roll in while staying warm inside.

Should I book a tour or go solo in Brazil and Peru?
It really depends on how you like to travel.

When's the best time to visit Brazil and Peru?
For Peru you'll want to aim for the dry season May through October especially if you're planning to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu - the skies are crystal clear for photos though heads up it gets pretty crowded. Brazil's weather varies quite a bit but for Rio you can't beat summer December to March for that perfect beach weather.

The Explore Peru Argentina & Brazil tour includes this incredible homestay by Lake Titicaca where you really get to experience local life and traditions firsthand.
How can I experience authentic culture in Brazil and Peru?
In Peru you'll want to take part in a Pachamama ceremony it's this beautiful Andean tradition honoring Mother Earth that happens in the Sacred Valley communities.

Over in Brazil get into the samba groove in Rio's Lapa neighborhood and visit a Guarani community near Iguazu Falls to learn about their way of life. The Best of Peru Argentina & Brazil tour includes this amazing pachamanca dinner in Nazca cooked traditionally with hot stones in a mud house plus that special Guarani community visit.
What's the best way to get around Brazil and Peru?
You'll definitely need internal flights for the long distances between major cities and countries - there's just no way around it. The bus networks are really good and much cheaper but be ready for some long journeys.
