Stay in the best hotels in Rio and Sao Paolo, adventure out to visit rare Golden Lion Tamarin that are living in the wild in the Poço das Antas Biological Reserve and then travel to the Pantanal to see Jaguars, Giant River Otters, Giant Jabiru Storks, and Cabybaras. This is the best wildlife tour in South America.

The Ibera Estuary is the second largest wetlands in South America and home to several endangered species and over 350 bird species. The region is rich in biodiversity and demonstrates the beauty of a balanced ecosystem. Also in the area is the UNESCO named World Heritage Site of San Ignacio Ruins, a settlement of converted Guarani founded by the Jesuits. This tour will visit Iguazu Falls and Iguazu Falls National Park located on the border of Brazil and Argentina. The National Park is full of exotic subtropical vegetation which surrounds the falls with abundant local flora and fauna. No Argentina trip is complete without a stay in Buenos Aires.

The Galapagos Islands lie on the Equator, 600 miles west of Ecuador. The isolation of the islands has permitted certain species of animals to evolve—thus Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. We will travel to the Galapagos on a 5-day cruise, observing the wildlife just like Darwin did 170 years ago. Yampu travelers will also visit Quito, Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu, Santiago, the Lake District, Bariloche, Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls and Rio de Janeiro.
