Journey Latin America ARGENTINA, CHILE, BOLIVIA & PERU


Few journeys cover as much ground as specialist tour operator Journey Latin America’s Pato Andino: Panorama of the Andes. Over 20 days, this predominantly overland group trip traces the spine of the Andes through Argentina, Chile, Bolivia and Peru, linking vineyards, deserts, salt flats and high- altitude lakes along the way. Stretching from Buenos Aires on the Atlantic coast


to Lima on the Pacific, the route combines some of South America’s best-known landscapes with quieter corners many travellers never reach. The journey begins in Buenos Aires, where the smell of sizzling steak drifts from corner parrillas (grills) and faded grandeur lines the city’s broad boulevards. Further north west, the pace slows in Argentina’s colonial Andean towns. In Cafayate, high-altitude vineyards produce torrontés, a crisp and aromatic white grape largely unique to the region, while in Cachi, whitewashed adobe buildings sit beneath vast mountain skies. From here, the route crosses the Andes into Chile’s Atacama Desert. The landscapes feel almost otherworldly, from the wind-sculpted ridges of Moon Valley to the steaming geysers of


El Tatio and shallow salt lagoons, where flamingos wade beneath snow-dusted volcanoes. The journey continues into Bolivia and the Salar de


Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat, stretching across over 4,000sq miles of the Altiplano. The scale is striking: a vast white expanse broken only by rocky islands where giant cactuses cling to volcanic stone. Travellers spend the night in a salt-built guesthouse on the flats’ edge, a truly memorable experience. Crossing the high plains of the Altiplano, the


itinerary then passes the pre-Columbian ruins of Tiwanaku before reaching Lake Titicaca, the world’s highest navigable lake. The final stretch leads to Peru’s Sacred Valley and Cusco, where lesser- known Inca sites such as Moray sit among terraced hillsides beyond the main tourist trail. The journey culminates at Machu Picchu, where Journey Latin America’s team secure advance tickets for carefully planned circuits around the mist-shrouded citadel. Journey Latin America has specialised exclusively


in Central and South America for more than 40 years, offering small-group tours and tailor-made itineraries across the entire region and Antarctica.
