Colours, friendship, pleasure and a great diversity of customs and traditions, handicrafts and folklore dances. Cusco is one of the most important cities of the region. The neuralgic centre of the Inca Empire, with its magnificent temples, Cusco offers beautiful landscapes and an approach to the old Inca culture. Cusco is not only its ruins; it is also its people and their customs, this strange but very interesting mixture of the old Europe and the new continent. Cusco is and will always be a Capital of culture. Cusco is history, tradition and reality: a tourist destination that can't be missed by those who love history.

Explore the World of the Ancients. Peru, one of San Jorge's signature paradises, where the rich Inca history and indigenous cultures of Cusco Machu Picchu, the sacred Urubamba Valley, Lake Titicaca, Puno and the capital city of Lima come to light.
Ecuador, Botanical Reserve San Jorge Eco-Lodge, a natural paradise in the Pichincha foothills, offering a variety of activities within a traditional hacienda mountain setting. Delve into the past and present traditions of Peru and Ecuador, combined into one exotic journey of a lifetime.

At Eco Voyager, we believe that such an exceptional land can only be journeyed in a very exclusive way. That means taking the time to appreciate not only what you see but also what you hear, what you smell, what you taste. That means learning the secrets of ancient forests, deciphering the messages left behind by our ancestors in lost cities, observing the behavior of a colony of penguins or understanding the way of life in a small Andean hamlet.

Argentina is the place of choice for adrenaline junkies; its amazing geography is the perfect setting for the practice of all sorts of extreme sports. In short, you could not have picked a better place. Just imagine and picture the adventure of mountain climbing or driving a four wheel drive across its endless pampas; running the rapids of the Andean rivers or sailing across the deep blue Atlantic Ocean, while watching huge glaciers at close range.

Explore the beauty of our land and the rich culture of our people. Travelling to Bolivia offers a great variety of unexplored, wild places, extraordinary altitudes and climates. Begin with the Andes Mountain Range in the west, the Highlands in between where the Andean civilization was born, thanks to the microclimate produced by lake Titicaca. The central valleys where crops such as corn were produced in the past which continue to be cultivated today. The jungle of the Amazon in the north and eastern region of the country, which is the largest forest in the world, for people that love to see nature and numerous animals species. The southern part of the country, the Cuenca del Plata or Chaco area, is covered by a completely different type of jungle with dry soil and a particular vegetation. Let us organize your trip and choose one of our programmes at unbeatable prices. And, finally, if you´re not convinced, allow us to help you make the best tailor made tour.

Learn about Chile's most important destinations in our vacation guide, which offers you key information regarding the country's cities, villages and natural areas, besides historic events, attractions, lodging facilities, departures, weather, highlights and a comprehensive photo gallery. All you need to do is choose a travel plan and set off for Easter Island, the Patagonia, Santiago, Viña del Mar, the Atacama Desert, or for any other destination in Chile.

In the middle of the world there it is the Andean country with less territorial extension: Ecuador, a place with extraordinary contrast, where the unlimited green of the jungle is so surprising like the everlasting snow that crowns the mountain range or the warmth of the sea that hulls the coast.
The Republic of Ecuador - which name comes from the Equator line that runs through its central part - has an extension of 270 670 squared kilometers and is located in the northeast of South America, between latitudes 1º 27' north and 5º south. Its current population passes 11 million habitants.
The majestic top of the Andean mountain range divides the country in three regions: the coastly plains, the Andean mountains (rocky mountain range) and the amazon jungle (orient). The Galápagos Islands, a volcanic archipelago in which exists a great variety of birds and animals, are considered like a fourth region.

The natural scenery framework surrounding the Inca Trail is impressive. As the traveller ventures further down the trail, some delicate variety of orchid, a robust "Pisonay" tree, or gracious Andean Guans teeming in a forest clearing may give the traveller an idea of the notable balance that the ancient Cusco dwellers were able to strike between nature and their own architectural works.
The geographical composition is very varied. There are numerous gulches and glacier watercourses. They all flow into the Urubamba River, which crosses the area in a deep more than 40 kilometres (24.85 miles) long valley, forming a succession of different ecological floors.
While trekking along the trail, one can see behind, as on a movie screen, the snow clad Vilcabamba range: Salkantay, Huamantay and others with peaks reaching up to more than 6000 m.a.s.l. (16690 ft). On all sides, forests and valleys create fantasy like images where dawns and sunsets turn into shows of grandeur and mystery.

Without a shade of doubt, the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu (HSMP) is the most important tourist attraction in Peru. It is located in the department of Cusco, on a high mountain in the lush Amazon forest. Machu Picchu owes most of its beauty and charm to its gorgeous natural setting: mountain woods blending with this historical sanctuary's rich flora and fauna.
On January 8th, 1981, with Supreme Law Nº 021-81 -AA, the Peruvian government established the Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu to preserve its archaeological monuments and valuable Pre-Hispanic remains, as well as the landscape and wild flora and fauna species in the area.
Covering an area of 32,592 hectares, it is among one of the world's wonders and in 1983 was declared to be the "Cultural and Natural Heritage of Humanity" by UNESCO.
The Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu not only preserves geological formations and archaeological remains within the Sanctuary, but also the unique flora and fauna and spectacular landscape of the surrounding woods. The Historical Sanctuary of Machu Picchu is an invaluable archaeological discovery, symbolizing both Peru and the Andean region. It is the natural habitat of wild flora and fauna, and helps protect the archaeological remains placed inside.

Within Costa Rica’s 51,200 square kilometers there is a wider variety of species of birds than in all of Europe or North America. With a relatively small population of roughly three and a half million inhabitants, Costa Rica also boasts of one of the oldest and more consolidated democracies in Latin America. In 1869, primary education for both sexes was declared obligatory and free of cost, defrayed by the State. In 1882 the death sentence was abolished. In the 1949 the armed forces were abolished and in 1983 Perpetual Neutrality was proclaimed. Prestigious international human rights organizations have their headquarters in Costa Rica. Because of this, and of its lush 1500 kilometers of tropical sun-bathed beaches and the wild diversity of flora and fauna to be found in its wide array of microclimates (most present in one or more of its National Parks), Costa Rica has justifiably earned its reputation of paradise regained.

Safari Overland’s operators have over 8 years overlanding expeditions experience including Trans Africa’s and Trans Asia’s, before beginning in South America in 1999 when we recognised the lack of budget companies available to travellers wanting to travel overland on this vast continent.
. To achieve this without jeopardising the quality of our product is simple. As a small company, we maintain minimal overheads by promoting through the Internet, not having a high street office and building our own trucks. We believe in passing on these savings to our customers, which we do in the form of cheaper safaris, which at the end of the day is what they want to pay for.

Our small group sizes allow for more authentic cross-cultural experiences and limits our impact on the fragile environments we visit. As owners we have led each of our South American adventures to insure the quality of your experience. We offer personalized service that larger agencies simply cannot deliver. Get the most out of your vacation time at an affordable price.

Whether you're looking for the physical challenges of white water rafting and hiking in remote wilderness, or you prefer a more relaxing cultural and nature based adventure, we invite you to join us in South America.

At twice the size of Europe, South America is the fourth largest continent on the planet, and one of the most culturally rich and geographically diverse travel destinations on the globe. Caribbean beaches, vast expanses of jungle, spectacular Andean peaks, arid deserts and icy plains guard some of the world’s most awe-inspiring splendours; the ruined Inca City of Machu Picchu in Peru; Venezuela’s Angel Falls, the largest in the world, and the buzzing cosmopolitan cities of Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires are just a few of the places that draw floods of tourists from all over the planet.
It’s a fantastic place to get off the beaten track as well; here you can float down narrow rivers deep into the Amazon Jungle, hurtle down volcanoes on a bike at breakneck speed and visit remote mountain villages where the locals still maintain their traditional customs and where tourists rarely venture.
