    The itinerary was good. However, it should have included one night more at La Paz for appreciating the city and the surrounding.

    Is this a group tour? Two of us are above 65 years old, is this tour suitable for us? How many countries are there in this itinerary? Is April the best month to go? We can go anytime? What about July? Which date has the best price?

    Tour Details
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten November 2025

      This is a group tour and has a maximum group size of 17 people although it normally averages around 12 people. This tour visits Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile and Peru! Generally the best overall months to travel in South America is April - June and September to November. However July is a good time to travel as well if that is what works best for you! Currently May through August 2026 has the lowest pricing.

      G Adventures doesn't run any tours to the Amazon on the Brazil side, so you would have to research and book this separately through another tour company.

    Dennis

    Asked on April 2nd, 2025

    Me and my wife are looking to have special holiday in Nov-Dec 2025 to celebrate my 60th birthday. We would really like to travel to South America and see as much as possible whilst there. We only speak English and so are a little worried about language challenges. Is everything organised for us beforehand?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • G AdventuresOperatorWritten April 2025

      We can look at fully guided tours. Would you mind joining a group of other travelers or looking for something more private? A private tour would be possible, however, it would be more of a self-guided tour. This would mean that you would have a full itinerary but making some the internal flights without a guide.
