From: $4415 was $5195 + Kitty

83 days between Buenos Aires and Quito

What do Buenos Aires and Quito have in common? They are linked by an exploratory route across Brazil's vast Amazon Jungle by Dragoman's new Exploratory route. This is a travel first, no tour operator have travelled this route overland before. Most people who overland through Argentina and Brazil will travel along the stunning routes between Buenos Aires and Rio. There is so much to see through this region, the two cities themselves, the Emerald Coast, the Pantanal and more.

But now for the very best bit and for something of a first: Dragoman has pioneered the route across the Amazon Jungle between Rio and Cusco. Our new exploratory route cuts straight through the heart of Brazil's Amazon Jungle, crossing into the jungles of Peru and then climbing up the mighty Andes and onto the city of Cusco.

Then it's on further into Ecuador and to some of the Andes most stunning scenery. But just in case you have not had your fill of the Amazon, we head down once more to the jungly depth of this fascinating ecosystem.
