Pettitts has launched a new 68-page South America brochure bringing together the sights, locations and attractions of Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Peru and Ecuador. It features a selection of ideas, journeys and special places to stay and has enough to inspire even the most seasoned traveller.

Crucially – and as a year-round destination – it also complements the company’s other brochures serving parts of the world where travel can be determined by season.

Managing director Steve Pettitt says: “We have been creating high quality tours to India, China and the Far East for almost 20 years and have built a reputation among our clients for imaginative itineraries and inspired suggestions.”

“But we also know travellers have become more adventurous and expect new and original ideas. By partnering with one of South America’s leading ground operators we have created this new programme of exploration in this vast continent. With the emphasis on flexibility, the brochure is designed to give a flavour of what we can offer and it superbly showcases a wonderfully rich and diverse part of the world.”

Among the highlights of the new brochure are Argentina with its stylish capital Buenos Aires, old colonial towns and spectacular natural landscapes; Eucador featuring the World Heritage city of Quito, famed markets and pre- Incan legacies; Brazil and its postcard landmarks, colourful people and the Amazon rainforest; a Peruvian journey to The Land of the Incas; a chance to combine the Galapagos Islands with Peru, and a 12-day tour of Chile in which all that this Land of Fire and Ice offers comes to life.
