The trip starts in Quito on 1st December and celebrates Christmas in the Inca city of Cuzco, New Year in Bolivia and Rio will be reached on 22nd February 2012, in time for the biggest party in the world – Carnival!
It’s a bit like Oasis Overlands Kingdoms & Carnivals gap year overland tour but shorter and with 63 nights (two thirds of the trip) in hotel and hostel accommodation – for those who want a few home comforts along the way! However, this is still an expedition by nature of its long duration and some of the remote places you visit so you must expect a degree of hardship, including some long drives on rough roads.
The route takes in popular South America gap year destinations including Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Brazil, travelling through the Andes, across the Altiplano and Patagonia and passing deserts, volcanoes, glaciers and pampas grasslands.
