With lost cities, rainbow mountains, salt plains and indigenous wildlife, cultural holidays in South America are imbued with a magic all of their own. From the Caribbean Coast of Venezuela to the glacial fjords of Patagonia, South America’s epic canvas combines a riotous mix of culture and outstanding adventure trails. Delve into the ancient cultures of Machu Picchu, watch passionate tango dancers on Argentina’s streets and immerse yourself in the traditions of a local family on a home stay.

Discover the ancient history and indigenous traditions of Peru when you experience the colourful Incan festival, Inti Raymi, also known as the Festival of the Sun. This vibrant event revives the ancient Incan rituals and pays tribute to Inti, the sun god, with its lively processions, traditional dances and age-old ceremonies. Alternatively, go island hopping in the Galapagos Islands, visit the colonial cities of Bolivia or explore the diverse Chilean landscapes.

As well as discovering the unique scenery and wildlife of each destination, you’ll also have the opportunity to try regional cuisines, learn about the fascinating history of a place and get to know the local people and their ancient traditions.

This was an incredible trip from start to finish, with some unforgettable memories. Our tour leader was Mohammed – a humble and lovely guide that was passionate about his country, people, and culture – this just enhanced the experience- and nothing was too much trouble. Our driver Ahmed (may have the incorrect spelling) was a careful and considerate driver, that went above and beyond too in helping the group. And Morocco – what an amazing country – steeped in history and wonder. Exodus certainly take you off the beaten track to some incredible and different experiences! Thank you so much!

Lisa Eade Marrakech & the Sahara

Wonderful trip through a unique part of India. As usual with Exodus we had a great group of like minded travelers and a variety of things to see and experience. There was a good mix of urban and nature. Cochin would have been a lot better if the hotel was in Fort Cochin. Too much time was spend driving back and forth.

Susan Suarez Kerala & the Tropical South

We arrived in Columbo to rain to be met by our smiling guide for the trip who introduced himself as Suresh. From there on, everyday was different, due to the time of year the weather was a little chilly in the hills but improved greatly as we descended to the lower levels. Suresh was amazing and everyday, he showed us something different and made sure our holiday experience was amazing. Suresh’s ability to spot wildlife on our cycling trips was unbelievable, almost as if he had planted the wildlife!!. I have taken some amazing photographs from the holiday and Suresh has provided us with his amazing photographs also. Suresh always seemed to go out of his way to make our holiday experience better and better, he is a star. The whole team was incredible, nothing was too much trouble and they were always looking out for our best interests, including keeping us safe. Best Exodus cycling trip yet, amazing wildlife, amazing Sri Lankan experiences, amazing leader, amazing team.
