Soft Adventure is outdoor or recreational travel to remote or non-traditional destinations for new experiences, exploration of cultures and natural wonders.   We'll be up early and be outdoors most of the day, but we'll return to comfortable accommodations for a warm shower, evening cocktail, delicious dinner and a good night's sleep in a comfortable bed.  
HIGHLIGHTS
  • Cross the entire continent from the Atlantic to the Pacific and you'll find that South America is a veritable feast of majestic landscapes, distinctive flora and fauna, and wonders both cultural and natural.
  • We’ll explore the best the continent has to offer both by land and sea on this adventure, which takes us from the thundering cascades of Iguassu Falls to the staggering windswept beauty of Patagonia’s Torres del Paine National Park, and all the way down to the glacier-lined fjords at Chile’s southern tip.
  • We'll step into the homes of local families to enjoy Home-Hosted meals, and even take a dancing lesson from residents of La Boca, the neighborhood in Buenos Aires where tango was born.
  • With a local Trip Leader to help highlight each country's unique culture, explore South America on a grand scale, beginning in the tropics, crossing through the Andes, and ending up walking among glaciers.
  • Along the way, we’ll get a taste of three of South America’s most vibrant cities—Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, and Santiago—and get to know the warm and inviting people that call the region home.
  • Plus, round out your adventure to become an even more in-depth exploration of South America when you add optional trip extension toSantiago & Easter Island, Chile.
