Flexible holidays in South America

The travel opportunies which Cascada Travel gives for holidays in South America are numerous and varied. We operate from Chile but can provide trips tours and adventure holidays in Argentina, and Bolivia as well, or trips which pass from one country to another without having to change agents, cars or guides when doing so. Our Chile-Bolivia trip takes you overland through the Altiplano on an unforgettable journey. Options for the overland trip are via the Uyuni salt-flat or La Paz and Lake Titicaca. Salt flats, volcanoes, the highland of the Altiplano. The Atacama desert in the north of Chile is one of the wonders of the world, a natural geological desert. It is almost impossible to describe and a visit to San Pedro de Atacama with expeditions to see the geysers spurting out at break of day, the flamingoes in the salt lake and native villages and forts set among the oases is almost a must for the visitor to Chile with a few days to spare.

Tours and adventure travel in Chile

In Chile we can provide short tours in and around Santiago for those who wish to complement a business trip with seeing something of the country for a few days. These tours might include a day walking or horse riding in the nearby Andes mountain range - the cordillera - or a visit to hot springs high up in the mountains, in the midst of rocks of the most beautiful mineral colours, often with snow on the surrounding peaks to frame the incredible view. Equally we can guide you round

Santiago. Santiago is a city with some very special places, like the mercado central, the Museum Colombino or the house of Pablo Neruda, but also, as with most cities, much that is of little interest to the tourist. Our guides can take you to the heart of the matter and make your stay a special one.

In Patagonia, in Torres del Paine, we have an ecocamp, a place where travellers can stay on holiday in reasonable comfort without paying hotel prices. It is an ecolodge, set up on the lines of an African Lodge and is well placed for trekking and hiking around the Torres del Paine national park. The large dome tents have beds and some heating. This year we have ensuite bathrooms - WC and shower - which makes our eco lodge camp more like a mountain hotel in Torres del Paine. There is a dining tent and we provide treks and tours to all the surrounding beauty of Patagonia, with English speaking guides, excellent food and full care for your comfort and enjoyment of your vacation in this astonishing World Biosphere national Park of Patagonia. This year we are offering individual hotel nights as well as the all inclusive accommodation of our programmed expeditions.

Activities and vacations on offer include

-Trekking, walking, hiking, climbing, mountaineering at various levels of endurance, from gentle to exacting. Horse riding with similar gradients of expertise and fitness. Much of this is in Patagonia, but we operate in other parts of Chile, where the geography and locations are more varied probably than most countries in the world.

-Whitewater rafting, kayaking, sea kayaking.
-Nature tours, wild life watching, birdwatching, cruises and soft adventure.
