An unforgettable journey through South America An incredible 35-day experience through Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. Everything was perfectly organized: punctual transfers, professional guides and spectacular excursions. We particularly enjoyed Machu Picchu, the Salar d'Uyuni, crossing the Andean lakes, the Perito Moreno glacier and Rio de Janeiro. Impeccable logistics in every country meant we could enjoy our trip without a care in the world. Highly recommended!

My experience was absolutely unforgettable! From the very beginning, everything was perfectly organized. During our visit to Easter Island, I was captivated by the beauty of the destination, however what truly made this trip exceptional was our local guide, Alex! His deep knowledge of the island and warm personality made every moment feel special. Thanks to Aborigen Tours and Alex, I had one of the best travel experiences of my life!
