Overview
The ultimate expedition experience — untouched wilderness, extraordinary wildlife, and the raw, dramatic beauty of the Southern Hemisphere.
South America is a continent of superlatives. The Amazon is the world's largest river basin — a cathedral of biodiversity accessible by small expedition ships that navigate deep into the jungle. Patagonia's Torres del Paine and the Chilean fjords offer some of the most dramatic scenery on earth. Cape Horn marks the meeting point of two great oceans. And beyond, Antarctica beckons. For the solo luxury traveler seeking something truly extraordinary, South America delivers experiences that are simply unavailable anywhere else — raw, wild, and profoundly humbling.
