South America Holidays
Expertly crafted holidays to South America
A continent that redefines what a holiday can be
South America is a continent of superlatives, the longest mountain range, the largest rainforest, the driest desert, and some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on Earth. Trek to the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu along Inca trails through cloud forests, watch giant tortoises lumber across the Galapagos Islands, dance tango in the cobbled streets of Buenos Aires, or navigate the Amazon by canoe in search of pink river dolphins. From Colombia's colonial gem of Cartagena to the thundering Iguazu Falls on the Brazil-Argentina border, every corner of this vast continent rewards the curious traveller with experiences that redefine what a holiday can be.

What Our Customers Say
They organised excellent accommodation and transfers from airport to destination and between destinations which was seamless and gave us peace of mind for our trip. We stayed in the nicest casa particular in Havana right on the outskirts of the major hustle of the old town but within walking distance to every site and lots of lovely restaurants. Our hotel in Varadero had 5 a la carte restaurants which were delicious and wonderful beaches! Would definitely go back to Cuba and use TravelFab again.
Annabelle
Excellent service. Fabien responded to all our queries promptly and efficiently and was always willing to spend time talking to us. The itinerary was well-considered and well-organised with an adequate amount of time in each location. Locations were varied and interesting. The service provided by the B&B owners was good to outstanding. The organisation of the coach services for transfers from one destination to another was super with comfortable journeys in clean, air-conditioned coaches. Thanks, TravelFab!
David
I was very impressed with Fabian's dedication, patience and professionalism in organising a group of 8 young persons (over 60's) to get to Cuba. The whole experience has been a very positive one. Despite having to relocate to another hotel at the last minute, that change over went very smoothly. Our accommodations were excellent. We will definitely book with TravelFab again. Thank you!
