South America Tour Guide

For Indian travellers eager to explore a continent rich in colour, culture, and natural wonders, South America is an unforgettable destination. From Brazil’s lively Rio de Janeiro and the awe-inspiring Iguazu Falls on the Argentina–Brazil border, to Peru’s mystical Machu Picchu and Chile’s wild Patagonia, every country offers its own magic. The journey from India usually involves long-haul flights with stopovers, but the range of experiences makes it well worth the effort. Visa rules vary—Brazil, Chile, and Peru require Indian travellers to apply in advance, while Ecuador, Bolivia, and Guyana allow visa-free entry or visa-on-arrival for Indian passport holders.

This South America travel guide covers: Best travel seasons for each region (generally March–May and September–November for mild weather), Top adventure experiences (Amazon rainforest treks in Brazil and Peru, glacier hiking in Chile’s Torres del Paine, wildlife spotting in Ecuador’s Galápagos Islands), Step-by-step visa guidance, Travel budgets, and Tips for family-friendly and honeymoon trips. Whether you’re dancing samba in Brazil, hiking the Andes in Peru, or tasting fine wines in Argentina, South America offers Indian travellers a journey filled with beauty, adventure, and unforgettable stories. With our detailed guide, Indian travellers can plan their South American adventure confidently, ensuring every moment from vibrant festivals to breathtaking landscapes is seamless and memorable.

One of the best travel agencies I have dealt with. The flexibility to pick and choose places and the way the agent (In my case Mr.Hari) stayed in touch throughout the travel guiding and helping us through the journey was amazing and extremely convenient. Will definitely use pick your trails again.
