Discover one of the most surreal and fascinating landscapes on the planet: the Salar de Uyuni, the largest salt desert in the world. With more than 10 billion tons of salt stretching as far as the eye can see, this destination is a true natural wonder that seems straight out of a dream. Located in the Bolivian highlands, the Salar de Uyuni covers 10,582 km² of pure whiteness, a spectacle formed thousands of years ago when the ancient Lake Coipasa dried up, leaving behind this vast blanket of salt. At an impressive altitude of 3,656 meters above sea level, walking on this white sea is an experience that will make you feel like you’re on another planet. But the Salar is not just a salt desert. During the rainy season (from December to March), a thin layer of water covers the surface, turning it into the world’s largest natural mirror, where the sky and earth merge in an endless play of reflections. In the dry season, its geometric cracks and islands filled with giant cacti, like Incahuasi Island, will leave you breathless. On our tour, you’ll explore this natural phenomenon through 4×4 vehicle rides, visit the Train Graveyard, the charming Colchani artisan village, the famous Salt Hotel, and the stunning crystal-clear lagoons. You can also relax in the thermal baths and take unique perspective photos. To top it off, you’ll enjoy an unforgettable sunset in this dreamlike landscape.
This tour combines adventure, history, and spectacular landscapes in the Peruvian Andes. For three days, you will travel along the 2-day Inca Trail, one of the most impressive routes to reach Machu Picchu, and you will visit the famous Rainbow Mountain, a unique natural destination. The classic Inca Trail to Machu Picchu is one of the most famous treks in the world and the most popular in Peru. It can be done in two versions: one of 2 days and another of 4 days. The 2-day Inca Trail is one of the most incredible routes to reach Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas. This journey passes through the high tropical jungle, where you can see mountains covered in vegetation, crystal-clear rivers, and ancient trails built by the Incas. Along the way, you will find Wiñayhuayna, an impressive archaeological site with agricultural terraces and stone buildings that showcase the advanced knowledge of this civilization. Another important point of the journey is Inti Punku, also known as The Sun Gate, from where you get one of the most spectacular views of Machu Picchu before reaching the citadel. Machu Picchu is one of the 7 wonders of the modern world and the most famous destination in Peru. Its ancient stone constructions, temples, and terraces were designed with great precision to withstand the test of time and harmonize with nature. Among its most important structures are the Temple of the Sun, the Sacred Plaza, and the Intihuatana, a mysterious stone that the Incas used as a solar clock. The Rainbow Mountain or Vinicunca is another of the most impressive places in Cusco. Its natural color bands, formed by minerals over millions of years, create a unique landscape in the world. Located at over 5,000 meters above sea level, this hike is challenging and requires being physically prepared. However, once you reach the top, the view is breathtaking and totally worth the effort.

Unlike other treks, no support staff or camping is needed, as travelers stay in local hotels and enjoy meals at family-run restaurants, promoting sustainable tourism that strengthens the local economy. In the last 15 years, the economy of many families has improved significantly. Thanks to this growth, communities continue to improve the route, discovering new paths and adding attractions to enrich the travel experience.

Explore the incredible biodiversity of the Brazilian Pantanal, the largest wetland in the world, stretching across Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay.

Accompanied by expert guides, you will travel on boat and 4×4 vehicle safaris, allowing you to explore different areas of the Pantanal and discover its rich natural wealth.
