Adventure Travel in South America can be understood in many ways but I would like to focus in one of the possibilities. Let's say you are in a career break in your life, let's say you have some spare time, let's say it has come the point in which you want to take this once-a-lifetime trip to discover a continent you are passionate about. What would you do? Well, here you are going to find a good proposal.
There is a company which is organizing trips on the 5 continents around the world. They are not what I would call "adventure travel", but they are the kind of off-the-beaten-path ones. Traveling with them means you are going to find yourself in a kind of real tourism, sleeping many times in guest houses but not in luxury hotels, doing some easy-level treks and using many means of local transport.
You shouldn't go there if you are expecting luxury, but if you are looking to discover the real country life and go face to face with nature and local culture, then it is a must do activity.
One of their proposals is a trip which goes around South America, starting from Ecuador and running down to Peru, going inland then to explore the mountains and the jungle, reaching Bolivia, going back into Chile, south through the coast into Santiago, further south then, and finally turning right to reach Argentina, cross Uruguay and enter into Brazil running up along the coast reaching the end of the Amazon river.
Such a wonderful trip takes 103 days to complete, and it is a guided tour from 1 to 16 persons that includes some meals but not most of them, all accommodation during the trip and all means of transport except the inbound and outbound flights to the departure in Ecuador.
I'm not new in this market, and adventure travel in South America is not something you are going to find at a cheap price, so I was incredibly surprised that all this comes just for the price of about 5000 Euros (US$7500).
It looks then like an incredible opportunity that certainly I will take one day later in my life and I would highly recommend to anyone who has this bit of extra time and spare money to take the trip of their dreams.
