  1. Days 1–2

    Callao-Lima, Peru

    Callao is Peru’s working maritime gateway, but its appeal extends beyond the harbour. From here, Lima’s historic centre and museums are within reach. In Callao, explore the imposing Real Felipe Fortress, built to defend the port, then visit La Punta for Pacific views. Stay for ceviche and discover a city shaped by trade, naval history and the ocean.

  2. Days 2–6

    Iquitos, Peru

    Iquitos is Peru’s great river city, with no road link to the country’s main transport network. Its busy waterfront is a gateway to Amazon tributaries, forest reserves and communities shaped by the river. Visit the Iron House and lively Belén market. Then travel by boat into flooded woodland, watching for pink river dolphins and macaws. In Iquitos, the river is not a backdrop; it is the way in.

    Cusco-Machu Picchu, Peru

    Cusco makes an arresting start to any journey toward Machu Picchu. At 11,150 feet, this former Inca capital rewards a measured first day and unhurried walks. Churches rise above Inca foundations around the Plaza de Armas; nearby markets reveal Andean life. From the Sacred Valley, trains follow the Urubamba River to Aguas Calientes, gateway to Machu Picchu. Advance entry reservations are essential.

  5. Day 14

    Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Buenos Aires is a city of broad boulevards, grand theatres and late dinners, with a distinctly Argentine pulse. From the port, explore La Boca’s vivid lanes or San Telmo’s antique market. Recoleta adds belle époque architecture; Palermo brings leafy parks, galleries and restaurants. Make time for a steakhouse and a tango performance, two traditions that give the capital its lasting character.

  6. Day 16

    Ushuaia, Argentina

    Ushuaia sits between the Beagle Channel and the snow-streaked Martial Mountains, at Argentina’s far southern edge. Its harbor has long served as a gateway to Antarctica, while the town itself rewards a slower look. Ride the End of the World Train into Tierra del Fuego National Park, or tour the former prison museum. Here, wild landscapes begin just beyond the last streets.

  8. Day 18

    Antarctic Peninsula

    The Antarctic Peninsula brings you within reach of Antarctica’s most dramatic scenery: mountain-backed glaciers, blue icebergs and sheltered bays. Most voyages cross the Drake Passage from Ushuaia, then explore by expedition ship and Zodiac, weather permitting. Watch for gentoo, chinstrap and Adélie penguins, seals and whales. Shore visits follow strict environmental rules, and plans can change with conditions. Expect few comforts ashore; the reward is a rare encounter with a continent still governed by ice and weather.
