Goway’s small group first class Holidays of a Lifetime escorted tours have two very different tours which include South America. The 20 day Magical Ecuador and Peru not only focuses on the usual highlights of the two countries such as the Galapagos Islands with its wealth of natural history, the amazing archaeological discovery, Machu Picchu and Cusco, the cradle of the Inca Civilization but also offers some other interesting insights and events.

In Ecuador, an overnight at the Papallacta Hot Springs gives passengers a unique spa experience. A cooking demonstration preparing Peruvian cuisine is scheduled in the Sacred Valley. The deluxe Orient Express is used as transportation from Cusco to Lake Titicaca where passengers meet local villagers who live on floating islands made of reeds to name a few. The July departure allows for the inclusion of the special and unique traditional Inti Raymi Inca Festival in Cusco, a reenactment of the Festival of the Sun which dates back to the time of the Incas and takes place once a year.

On the 17 Day Splendours of South America, the focus is on the cities of Santiago, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro but in between, passengers explore the Chilean wine region, cross the Andes Mountains by land, have a day tour to Uruguay from Buenos Aires and visit the mighty Iguassu Falls visiting both the Argentinean and Brazilian sides. The February departure coincides with the colorful Rio Carnival, an extension for which can be added to the tour.
