South America
A holiday to South America offers a diverse patchwork of landscapes, encompassing some of the world’s most staggering natural attractions; Angel Falls in Venezuela, the Cotahuasi Canyon in Peru and Chile’s Atacama Desert are just the tip of the iceberg.
From ancient civilisations to European colonialism, South America delivers many gateways into its well-preserved history. From the renowned Machu Picchu in Peru to the baroque architecture of Potosi in Bolivia, one cannot fail to be impressed. Trek through the tangled vines of the Amazon Rainforest, take a jeep safari through Brazil’s tropical wetlands of the Pantanal, and embark on a cruise around Ecuador’s enchanting Galapagos Islands for some of the most enriching wildlife experiences. Steppes Travel has the inside knowledge and passion to create a truly thrilling tailor-made holiday to South America. We have chosen a number of charities to support around the world and by travelling with us, you will be helping to make a difference.

In the late ’90s, I booked myself on an expeditionary voyage into the Antarctic Circle and was instantly hooked. Since then, I’ve returned to Antarctica a number of times and ventured deep into the Arctic – from Svalbard to the Russian and Canadian Arctic – always chasing that same sense of wonder. It’s this rare personal experience of the world’s polar extremes that I bring to every journey I plan.
