School Tours to South America

Explore South America's ancient civilisations, vibrant ecosystems, and rich cultures



South America is an enormous continent, where Andean peaks tower over Amazonian rainforests and Incan ruins stand side by side with vibrant modern cities. From Ecuador's Galapagos Islands to Chile's Atacama Desert, a school trip to South America will be a journey of discovery.

Looking for an adventure that just isn't possible anywhere else on the planet? The types of trips we can offer are perfect for developing leadership skills and promoting teamwork.

Students can focus on subjects such as jungle ecology and wildlife conservation or volcanoes and geology. Alternatively, your school may wish to experience the broadest possible tour by travelling to several destinations on a true South American expedition, places like Peru's Machu Picchu, the jungles of Brazil, Buenos Aires in Argentina.

The jungles and high mountain plateaus of South America have attracted adventure seekers since the continent first came to the imagination of European explorers. Unlike the Northern half of America, the land remains largely untamed and filled with wonderful treasures, both natural and man made. School groups visiting South America can learn Spanish in world cities like Buenos Aires and Santiago, explore the rain forests of Brazil, or visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site - the Galapogos Islands.

In Central America, a jungle adventure to Costa Rica is one of our most popular trips, with students studying environmental issues as well as enjoying more activities than most of us get to experience in a lifetime.
