Machu Picchu
Why visit? Machu Picchu truly is the gem of Peru.
Pantanal and Wetlands
A UNESCO World Heritage site, the Pantanal is the largest tropical wetland in the world. Mostly residing in Brazil, the enormous basin receives a massive amount of water from the highlands during the flood season, which dissipates into a landlocked delta. This lush environment attracts countless species of mammals, birds, reptiles and insects.
Due to the delta’s wide open spaces, animal spotting in the Pantanal is a lot easier then in the neighbouring Amazon, offering amazing photographic opportunities.
Antarctica
Discover Antarctica on a small ship cruise. Personalised advice from Australia’s genuine Antarctica Cruise experts.
The most popular and affordable Antarctic journey is to fly to South America
Where: The southernmost city of the world, Ushuaia, in Argentina, is the major thoroughfare for Antarctic cruises. From here you can visit the Antarctic Peninsula as well as the Sub-Antarctic islands such as South Georgia and the Falkland islands on your Antarctic cruise. A cruise will take anywhere from 10 to 21 days when leaving from Ushuaia, if crossing directly to the peninsula you can be there in approximately one and a half to two days.
