    Asked on December 25th, 2022

    Are internal flights included? I'm essentially looking for a tour that includes macchu pichu, Bolivia salt lakes, Argentina falls and rio and if chile is Included that is a bonus. Do you have any such tours?

      TravelerWritten December 2022

      Please May I check how many others are booked onto this tour? And also how many are aged between 30-39?

    • CosmosOperatorWritten December 2022

      All our South America Tours are smaller group sizes, so max numbers if tour is at full capacity is 22. The age range of travellers on our tours is varied, and does vary from tour to tour.
