With a rich and varied mix of cultures stretching across South America, from proud indigenous heritage and cherished native communities to European, Asian and African influences merged over many centuries, a cultural tour of South America with Atelier offers something truly extraordinary. 

It’s almost impossible to picture the cultural makeup of South America all in one go, with Peru and Bolivia alone being home to nearly 100 separate indigenous groups, and cosmopolitan cities such as São Paulo, Santiago and Buenos Aires attracting immigrants from all over the world. This all adds up to an endlessly fascinating insight into both the historic and contemporary cultural landscape within each individual country. Prepare yourself for a collage of intriguing artworks and monuments, religious beliefs, traditions and ceremonies as well as all the trappings of 21st century living around every corner. 

With the help of your Atelier Destination Expert, you may find yourself sipping coca tea in the Andean Highlands, joining a traditional Amazonian ceremony, tango dancing in Buenos Aires, meeting the floating island communities of Lake Titicaca, perhaps staying at a Uruguayan gaucho ranch or sampling Michelin-star cuisine in one of Peru’s many fine dining restaurants. So whatever your reasons for taking a tailormade cultural tour of South America, Atelier will make it happen.
