Tick some action-packed adventures off your bucket list with this once in a lifetime South American overland tour from Santiago to Rio. Begin your journey with a taste of the wonders of Patagonia. Hike to the very top of a volcano in Pucon, tackle vertical ice and trek glaciers in El Chalten and brave the rapids at Futaleufu. Take in more of the stunning sights with a closeup encounter of the Perito Moreno Glacier near El Calafate, challenge yourself to the famous 'W' Trek at Torres del Paine and explore the world's most southern city, Ushuaia in Tierra del Fuego. Continue your trip with a spot of nature watching at Valdes Peninsula, a taste of Argentina's famous steak and red wine at Buenos Aires and revel in the sights and sound of the Iguazu Falls. End your South America tour in Rio for either Carnival or New Year's Eve celebrations! Camping - Oasis provides tents for those nights you will be camping. Tents are shared (between two people of the same sex from your group unless you are a couple). We spend some nights bush or desert camping, and on some occasions it is necessary to camp at overnight services, which are basic but equipped with showers and other facilities; the rest of the time in campsites. Facilities and standards at campsites vary, some are well equipped and managed and some are very basic. At bush camps you will be living off the truck, so there will be no showers or en-suite facilities! At certain campsites there is the opportunity to upgrade to a private room at your own expense if you are missing your bed. Simple Hotels/Hostels - At some locations we will stay at small locally owned hostels/hotels. These are usually basic places, and often the accommodation will be mixed sex dormitory style. Upgrades may be available on arrival, but cannot be reliably pre- booked. Please be aware that the quality of accommodation can vary quite a lot from area to area and sometimes in a small hotel the standard of rooms can vary even from one room to the next - so there needs to be a level of understanding within the group that your Oasis Crew does not often have power over room allocation or services provided by various hotels and it is unavoidable that they have to rely on the local staff. Please note if you choose to participate on an overnight optional activity, then you will not receive reimbursement for any accommodation or meals that you are missing out on with the rest of the group.
