Trip Overview

A shorter expedition in South America which covers a fascinating region of this incredible continent. Starting from Lima, the old Conquistador's capital we head through the sparse desert and high up into the Andes travelling along the spine of the mountains, and back down, this time, through the world's driest desert, the Atacama. If you want to experience the real South America, then this trip is for you!.
Camping expeditions, by definition, can sometimes involve certain hardships not associated with other styles of travel. These
expeditions are suited to travellers aged from 18 to 45 years old who are reasonably fit and active. We do accept clients up to a
maximum of 55 years old but you must bear in mind that you will need to harmonise with the recommended age group. If you love the great outdoors, like having an input into your holiday and enjoy the rewards that camping offers, then these trips are well suited to you.
