The Americas boast some of the world's most amazing natural and ancient wonders, the Grand Canyon, the Amazon delta, the Mayan temples of the Yucatan and, of course, Machu Picchu. In many instances the contemporary culture is as fascinating as the ancient civilisations - from Communist Cuba to the colourful Quechua communities in the Andes of Peru. Whether your interest is geography or history, ancient or modern, a trip to the Americas will not disappoint.

"...the organisation both before departure and whilst on the tour was excellent. We were extremely well looked after by our tour leader and team of guides and porters... we'll definitely be booking another trip with you in the future."
W. Smith, The King's School, Rochester

"When I was introduced to the local walking expert, the last person I was expecting was a rather diminuative, frail looking man in his early seventies. Don Elias is actually a local legend... He knows every inch of these valleys, having walked every path."
Yvonne Ramsay, Tour Leader & Operations Manager
