Active Holidays in Latin America

For adventure seekers, Latin America is a paradise of thrilling landscapes and unforgettable experiences. Hike through the soaring peaks of the Andes, traverse the otherworldly Atacama Desert in Chile, or marvel at towering glaciers and vast wetlands in Argentina. If you’re looking to tick off a world wonder, the iconic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru is a must. Whether you’re trekking to Colombia’s Lost City, hiking the wildlife trails of the Galápagos Islands, or camping under the stars in Patagonia, the region offers endless opportunities for exploration.

Beyond hiking, Latin America is an outdoor lover’s dream. Surf the waves in Máncora, go white-water rafting in Argentina, or try horse riding with gauchos in Uruguay. Wildlife enthusiasts can embark on canopy birdwatching adventures in Costa Rica, spot jaguars in the Pantanal, or cruise through the mighty Amazon Rainforest. Thrill-seekers can take on volcano hikes, 4x4 desert expeditions, and even glacier trekking, while those who prefer a slower pace can cycle the Seven Lakes route in Argentina or stargaze in Chile’s Atacama Desert.

No matter your adventure style, Latin America offers a perfect blend of adrenaline and breathtaking scenery. Whether you prefer high-energy excursions or immersive nature experiences, our expert Travel Specialists can craft a tailor-made itinerary to match your interests. Let us help you plan the ultimate active holiday, filled with unforgettable moments in some of the world’s most spectacular landscapes.

Thank you to Sarah at Latin Routes for creating a seamless itinerary for our trip to North Argentina. Everything was thought of and well planned in advance.

Look no further if you are planning to go to South America. The trip to Chile was clockwork. The guides were excellent, and we felt really pampered in the beautiful hotels.

Our bucket list trip to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands had been looked forward to for a very long time. We were not disappointed! The highlight of our trip, without a doubt, was our five-day eastern cruise on the beautiful yacht La Pinta.

This is an excellent company. I worked with Paul, who was very knowledgeable and patient when organising my itinerary. There is no pressure selling. Recommend them for South America trips!
