Board the KLM flight and depart home well aware, that in a short time you'll arrive in Bogota - the bustling capital of Colombia. Enjoy some days in the big city, before travelling around in the beautiful country on your own hand. We recommend a visit to the beautiful north with access to the Caribbean Ocean, the lush jungles and the colonial city Cartagena. Return back to Bogota in order to board the flights to Ecuador and Quito.
When arriving in Quito you have several options. Travel around in Ecuador, where the Cotopaxi volcano, Galapagos Islands or Amazon jungle are among our favorite places to visit. If you have extra time on your hands, you could opt in for a few weeks of volunteering in some amazing projects in the Galapagos Islands.
Are you ready for an awesome round trip with other adventurous people? It's time for 15 days from Quito to Lima, where there will be plenty of time to experience the authentic South American culture through visits in small jungle communities and stops at historical inca ruins to name a few examples.
The round trip will take you from one capital to another. From Quito the journey goes south through the jungle city of Tena, Banos (for those seeking adrenaline), Cuenca, Mancora, Huanchaco and of course Peru's capital Lima. Get ready to be amazed by breathtaking national parks, dip into hot springs, spend some time at nice beaches and explore small cozy villages.
While in Peru, you shouldn't miss the opportunity to experience the amazing Machu Picchu - one of the new 7 wonders of the world. Once you arrive to Lima, you have reached the last leg of your South American adventure, and it is time to board your flight to Central America and Panama City, which is a great starting point in order to explore the best of Central America before flying back home.
