Cultural Holidays in South America

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. From ancient Incan rituals to modern-day fiestas, our cultural holidays in South America take you on unforgettable adventures filled with immersive experiences and enriching insights that give you a deeper understanding of the continent’s diverse cultural tapestry.

We took this trip in September. From the moment we arrived we knew we would have a good time. Our guide Artur made us feel very welcome, with his knowledge and humour. I didn’t know what to expect with Albania, only that it was a beautiful country and it was opening up for tourism. Despite some negative reports of crime etc, we wanted to go before it got to busy.. the history of the county is fascinating. There is so much to see and learn and Artur was a font of knowledge. We became engrossed in the history, the different periods of time with castles and ruins to it up back up, to the present time.
Our driver Diu was brilliant at traversing the very high and winding roads. He was very helpful to us all and great at taking group photographs.
We loved the food and there was a great choice, all freshly cooked. The hotels were very comfortable.
And the views. After each view, we didn’t think they could get better, but the did.
A wonderful place to visit. We loved Albania. I could write more, as there is so much to say about Albania.

I encourage anyone who wants to learn more about Albania to take this cultural tour. I hope you are lucky and get Artur as your guide and Diu as your driver. These men are pros. I loved traveling around the country to visit several UNESCO World Heritage sites, small towns, the national forest, and the coast line. Albania is changing so quickly as it commercially develops. You can still experience the old Albania through its traditional costumes, dances, and small towns.
