Multi Centre South America - from Machu Picchu to Rio de Janeiro

Discovering Machu Picchu and Rio de Janeiro - from Incan Heritage to Brazilian Carnival

Starting your journey in the heart of the Andes, Machu Picchu beckons with its mysterious allure. After acclimating in Cusco and exploring the Sacred Valley, the final ascent to Machu Picchu is stunning and spiritual journey. The Incan citadel, shrouded in mist and perched on a mountain ridge, is a testament to human ingenuity and perseverance.


Walking through Machu Picchu, each stone structure and terrace offers insight into the Inca's society. The Temple of the Sun, with its precisely cut stones, and the panoramic views from the Sun Gate, highlight the site's architectural brilliance and spiritual significance.

After experiencing the historical and cultural depths of Machu Picchu, the vibrant city of Rio de Janeiro offers a lively contrast. Known for its beaches, samba rhythms, and the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue, Rio pulses with energy and colour. The transition from the serene heights of the Andes to the bustling streets of Rio encapsulates the diversity of South American experiences.

In Rio, the natural beauty of Sugarloaf Mountain and the sprawling urban beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema provide ample opportunities for relaxation and adventure. The panoramic view from Corcovado Mountain, where Christ the Redeemer stands, offers a breathtaking perspective of the city's blend of urban and natural landscapes.

No trip to Rio would be complete without experiencing its vibrant culture. Whether it's dancing to samba music in Lapa, exploring the historic neighbourhood of Santa Teresa, or indulging in local cuisine at a churrascaria, Rio's spirit is infectious. The city's annual Carnival, an explosion of colour and music, epitomises its festive nature and is a bucket-list event for many travellers.
