  • M

    Michele

    Asked on August 23rd, 2026

    I'm looking at the Ultimate South America tour. It says it doesn't include flights. Does that mean that it doesn't include the flights within the tour?

    Flights / Transfers
    • Wendy Wu ToursOperator•Written August 2026

      All flights will be included within the tour itinerary but it does not include flights into Lima and out of Rio so you would need to organise these yourself.

  • C

    Catherine

    Asked on November 13th, 2025

    may I know which departure date is the best in terms of weather and price? We can go anytime. Is this a group tour? Two of us above 65 years old so is this tour suitable for us?

    Age Range
    Tour Details
    • Wendy Wu ToursOperator•Written November 2025

      all the departures we offer are the best for the weather and similar in price. Our average age is 45-75 and often older so absolutely.

    • C

      Catherine

      Traveler•Written November 2025

      so you think the best time to travel will be September? What about late February to March or late June to July? Please send me a detailed itinerary. Your price includes the domestic flights?

    • Wendy Wu ToursOperator•Written November 2025

      September is great. Because you are travelling so much of the continent the weather will be interchangeable however September is good across the board. February and March you will find it wetter in some places but warmer across the board. June and July is good but quite cold throughout the continent. No international flights are included but yes all domestic flights are included.

    • C

      Catherine

      Traveler•Written November 2025

      I worry about the high attitude in Bolivia and Peru. Are there a lot of people feel sick in both countries? Do you have another better itinerary if we don't go to these two countries maybe including Colombia and other beautiful countries?

    • Wendy Wu ToursOperator•Written November 2025

      Every person reacts to altitude differently to be honest with you. I personally went there and didn't have any issues at all. We don't have a tour as extensive as this one that will not include Bolivia or Peru. We do however have trips that just got to Columbia if you would like the details of that one sent over?
