I came across the ancient wonders tour starting in La Paz ending in Rio. I am single person and looking for tours in Southamerica, Brazil, preferably in a group

Unfortunately, we do not organize group tours. We specialize in independant travels and tailor made itineraries along South America (mostly Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Bolivia and Uruguay).

Is it possible to join this tour on the 20th instead of 19th?

Sorry, we dont have departures on the 20th.

is there zero days where this departs in jan or feb? 2025

Correct, there are no departures, this is due to rain and snow season, the road between Salta and San Pedro can be closed in January, some days in June and July. Do you have a possible departure in February? There is also a blockout in Rio during Carnaval

Would there be available dates for January? Our traveler would like to travel on January 23, 2024.

Does this mean we can't do this trip at all in January? I can change the day so we don't arrive on a Wednesday but I need to travel in January. Is there an alternative route?

Traveler would like to inquire if you will have any available for September onwards for 2 traveler?

Yes, we have departures in September. We can check availability if you have the start date.

  I can check with the provider but the problem is that it's the rain season and many times the route is closed.
