Or you might pack fishing gear and a picnic lunch and hike down to the river at the base of the valley. In the evening you gather around the lodge fireplace, before an astonishingly delicious dinner, served by candle light. Outside, the sky is an arc of black velvet, the stars diamond-bright.

Argentina is a land of passion, drama, and contrast, all summed up by the iconic tango. Adventure lovers come to explore and traverse the flat plains of the pampas, the high peaks of the Andes Mountains and the extraordinary landscapes of Patagonia. Argentina’s capital, Buenos Aires, is often referred to as the ‘Paris of the Pampas’ – the well-heeled, tree-lined Avenida 9 de Julio is said to be modelled on the Champs Elysees, and a visit here allows you to soak up the distinctly European café culture. Brazil is a land of colour, flavour and sound – with the samba providing the heartbeat to the nation. Here cities like Rio de Janeiro and Sao Paulo beautifully assault the senses, and enchanting colonial towns scattered across the country give you a real flavour of the Brazilian people. Peru is almost a continent in itself and its passion for adventure shines through from the soaring, unspoilt Andes to its desert coastal plains.
