Yes. All of our South America tours are designed specifically for solo travellers. You’ll join a group of like-minded travellers, with an experienced Holiday Director throughout, so you can enjoy the freedom of solo travel in South America with the reassurance of an expertly organised itinerary.
Our solo holidays to South America typically include accommodation, a Holiday Director, a planned itinerary with guided sightseeing, and many meals and excursions (inclusions vary by tour). You’ll have free time built in too, so you can personalise your trip while still benefiting from an escorted experience.
Depending on the tour, you can explore destinations such as Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. Many itineraries combine iconic natural wonders with vibrant cities and cultural experiences.
Travelling with an escorted group is one of the most reassuring ways to experience the region. With a Holiday Director, organised transport, and planned excursions, you can enjoy the highlights with added peace of mind, especially if it’s your first time considering holidays to South America.
No, you won’t be asked to share with another traveller. Just You tours are designed for solo travellers, and you’ll have your own room (specific room types can vary by itinerary).
Activity levels vary by itinerary. Some trips include more walking or higher-altitude destinations (for example, parts of Peru), while others are more relaxed. Check the individual tour pages for pace and activity guidance to pick the right South America tour for you.
South America spans multiple climates, so the best time depends on where you’re going. For example, Patagonia’s seasons differ from those in Peru or Brazil. Each of our tour pages provides guidance on typical weather patterns so you can choose the best time for your holiday to South America.
Spanish is the main language in most South American countries (including Peru, Chile and Argentina). Portuguese is spoken in Brazil, and some regions also use Indigenous languages alongside Spanish/Portuguese. In tourist areas, you’ll often find some English, but a few basic local phrases are always appreciated.
There isn’t one single currency across South America. For example, Peru uses the sol, Chile the Chilean peso, Brazil the real, Argentina the Argentine peso, and Ecuador uses the US dollar.
It’s best to take a mix of card payments plus some local cash for small purchases: your guide can advise on the easiest exchange options on tour.
Vaccination advice depends on the countries and regions you’ll visit and can change over time. Before you travel, check the latest guidance from the NHS and speak to your GP or a travel clinic for personalised advice.
It’s also sensible to consider altitude (in some areas), insect bite protection, sun/heat safety, and ensuring you have appropriate travel insurance and any regular medication with you.
