Journeys of Distinction - South America Brochure

The Journeys of Distinction - South America brochure invites travellers to experience the continent in vivid detail, from the brilliant white of crashing waterfalls and the warm buff of Machu Picchu stonework against the intense green of the Andean peaks, to the fire-red of a tango dancer's dress and the azure stillness of equatorial waters. The aim is not simply to see the world, but to live it, embrace it and become part of it.

More than an escorted tour

Journeys of Distinction describe their trips as Enlightened Tours, a step beyond a simple sightseeing holiday. They believe the wonders, customs and cultures encountered will live on at the core of a traveller's being, taking each guest on a personal journey by exploring, explaining and unearthing in a way that creates a lifelong bond.

Exclusive itineraries, experienced tour managers, knowledgeable guides, exceptional hotels and a distinctive approach combine to transform the experience from merely interesting to enriching and deeply, personally fulfilling.

Small, exclusive tours

For their 2012/2013 season, the company limited the number of travellers on every departure to 25, in the belief that an exclusive group allows for a more personal and satisfying experience.

• Groups all depart from the UK, with no one joining along the way, so travellers always know their companions
• Private tours can be arranged for groups of friends or family
• Itineraries include enough free time to relax, explore independently or take optional excursions

Exceptional hotels

The company sought out the most distinctive hotels in remarkable locations, from glamorous city centres to secluded corners, including some of the most iconic and prestigious venues in the world. Itineraries are planned so guests can spend two or more nights in each hotel, avoiding daily packing and allowing more time to get to know each place.
