This is it! It’s the journey of a lifetime, encompassing everything that this fantastic destination has to offer - including the world’s biggest party, Rio Carnival. Travel through the entire South American continent all the way from Caribbean Venezuela to northern Brazil and the Amazon, and then down into bustling Argentina, remote Patagonia, and finally up through the stunning Andean mountain range. This is your ultimate, once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

* Includes Rio de Janeiro Carnival Accommodation package:
- 4 nights accommodation
- 1 Sambadrome ticket
Value: US$500

Optional Excursion
Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
The classic 4-day Inca Trail, also known as El Camino Inca is an optional excursion on the BXSU3 trip. We highly recommend adding this excursion to your trip.

The Incas were a highly organised civilisation and created many Inca paths throughout the Andes in a network they called Capaq Ñan. The most famous of all the paths is known simply as ‘the Inca Trail’, the royal route to the remnants of the breathtaking mountaintop city of Machu Picchu. Spread over 4 days, the spectacular 44 km Camino Inca crosses three stunning high passes and encounters many ancient archaeological sites, culminating at the citadel of Machu Picchu. There are few treks in the world that combine natural beauty, history and mystery with such an awe-inspiring final destination.

Note: we would need a copy of your passport at the time of booking.
