Luxury Holidays in South America

With the world's greatest river, longest mountain range, highest active volcano and tallest waterfall, quite frankly it can sometimes seem like South America is just showing off. But we have to admit, South and Latin American holidays take some beating for sheer variety and vibrancy, with tours and adventurous itineraries taking in steamy rainforests, eerie deserts, ski slopes, tropical beaches, European-style capitals and indigenous villages - as well as many luxury hotels. South America is Exsus' top pick for a once-in-a-lifetime luxury holiday or honeymoon.

Argentina

Argentina

Argentines are known as the show-offs of South America, but we really can't blame them, a luxury holiday, family adventure or incredible honeymoon in Argentina has it all. Argentina boasts the magnificent Andes to the west, the splendiferous Iguassu Falls to the tropical northeast, and to the south, Patagonia, with its vast steppe, sub antarctic wildlife, lakes and glaciers. And that's without mentioning Buenos Aires, the best steaks in the world and luxury estancias with wine cellars to die for. See what we mean?

It's easy to fall for Brazil.

Covering half of the landmass of South America, Brazil has the lot: endless beaches, fabulous luxury hotels, the wildlife-rich marshland of the Pantanal, the Amazon, lovely colonial cities and, how could we forget, Rio de Janeiro.

Chile

Tucked away behind the Andes is South America's tall, leggy beauty, Chile. Her vital statistics are impressive: only 180 km wide but 4329 km long, and with looks to die for. From the arid deserts of the north through to temperate rainforests, glaciers, lakes and fjords to the south, Chile's dramatic landscapes are hard to resist and a luxury holiday or honeymoon here is simply unforgettable.

Colombia

Colombia is the rising star of the South American travel scene. With security concerns a thing of the past, Colombia is welcoming more and more visitors, but is still blissfully unspoiled and undeveloped. Music, dancing, food and drink are central to Colombian culture and Exsus can tailor-make your Colombia holiday so you get the very most out of your trip. From the beaches of the Caribbean coast to beautiful colonial cities, boutique luxury hotels to the misty hills of the Coffee Triangle, luxury travel in Colombia is a very exciting option.

Ecuador

Ecuador

Divided by the Andes into coast, highlands and jungle, Ecuador is a tiny country by South American stands, but still packs a punch. The Andean scenery here is stunning, the jungle lodges and hotels are some of the best in the continent, the wildlife colourful and the people are charming. Untouched Amazon rainforest, vibrant markets, wonderful colonial towns - and a flight to the nearby Galapagos Islands - will ensure your luxury holiday or honeymoon in Ecuador is a luxury adventure to remember.

Ecuador & Galapagos

Galapagos

For the ultimate luxury holiday or family adventure, head to the Galapagos Islands for THE wildlife experience in South America. Snorkel with penguins and sea lions and get unbelievably close to some of the most fascinating species on earth such as the marine iguana (the only lizard to swim in the ocean), the playful blue footed booby and the magnificent giant tortoise. One of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the Galapagos can be visited year round and a stay here or a luxury cruise on a boat, yacht or catamaran combines perfectly with a few days in colourful Ecuador.

Machu Picchu

Peru

For a shot in the arm of South American culture, head for a luxury holiday or honeymoon in Peru. Peru lives and breathes its Inca heritage from impressive archaeological sites perched impossibly in the Andes to colourful communities, where Inca arts, crafts and cuisine still thrive. Drop some 3000m and you hit steamy rainforests; take a cruise along their rivers to see caiman, pink river dolphin and stunning Amazon sunsets. Peru is one of the best South American countries for luxury family adventure holidays, offering countless options for exhilarating, action-packed itineraries.

Uruguay

Fighting for the limelight between Brazil and Argentina is little visited Uruguay, a rural gem of a country where cattle easily outnumber its tiny population. Argentineans have been hitting Uruguay's beaches and luxury hotels in Punta del Este for years and we suggest you do the same for some r&r at the end of one of our South American adventures.
