Learn more about all of your choices below. Then call our dedicated team of Regional Adventure Counselors at 1-800-955-1925, who will listen to your specific needs and help you plan the adventure of a lifetime.

Pre- or post-trip extensions

On this adventure, you have the following extensions to choose from:

Santiago & Easter Island's Sacred Sites

6 nights Pre-trip

Discover Santiago’s cosmopolitan charms, then experience Easter Island’s rich Polynesian heritage, dramatic volcanoes, intriguing moai statues, and welcoming people.

Iguassu Falls: Thundering Cascades of Argentina & Brazil

4 nights Post-trip

Experience the roaring and rushing cascades of Iguassu Falls from both the Argentinian and Brazilian sides of the border—enjoy panoramic views, then get close enough to feel the cool mist wash over you.

Here's why 71% of travelers take these extensions:

  • You’ll maximize your discoveries—often in an even smaller group (average of 6 with a dedicated Trip Experience Leader) than your main adventure—and enhance your value by lowering your per-day costs because you’re taking advantage of your already included international airfare.
  • Our extensions include all accommodations, daily breakfasts, airport transfers, and other features.
  • This is a great opportunity to join your fellow travelers early or spend more time after your adventure getting to know your Trip Experience Leader and developing bonds with each other.

Arrive Early

Expand your discoveries by spending one, two, three—or more—days abroad in the first destination on your pre-trip extension or main adventure. By arriving early, you’re able to rest after your long flight and acclimate to your new destination and time zone—or you can hit the ground running and explore on your own.

Choosing this option lets you take advantage of our lower group rates and includes your accommodations, private airport transfer, and daily breakfast. On this adventure, you can choose from the following options:

  • Arrive early in Santiago before your Santiago & Easter Island pre-trip extension — Travel from $130 per room per night
  • Arrive early in Buenos Aires before your main adventure — Travel from $90 per room per night

Stopovers

Interested in visiting an iconic city on your own before or after your adventure? We can help you make it happen in two ways:

1. O.A.T. offers the opportunity to Stopover in popular cities our travelers have expressed the most interest in when you purchase airfare with O.A.T. Each Stopover includes 3 nights in a centrally-located hotel, daily breakfast, and roundtrip private airport transfers. On this adventure, you can visit your choice of these major cities:

  • Rio de Janeiro $995 per person - 3 nights at Porto Bay Rio Internacional Hotel
  • Lima $645 per person - 3 nights at José Antonio Lima Hotel
  • Sao Paulo $745 per person - 3 nights at
  • Bogotá $795 per person - 3 nights at

Stopovers do not include a set itinerary, which means you are free to spend your time how you’d like, whether that’s seeing the sights or sampling the local cuisine. No O.A.T. representative will be available during your Stopover.

2. Add a stay in a city not already offered by O.A.T. as a Stopover. If you choose to take advantage of this option, our Regional Adventure Counselors can help you book your international airfare. You are free to choose however you’d like to spend this additional time exploring, including the tours you take, activities you plan, and restaurants you visit. If you’d like ideas about how to spend this time and what to see and do, our Regional Adventure Counselors can provide recommendations when helping you plan this option.

Combined adventures

If you’re already overseas, why not see more of the world and maximize your value by avoiding the expense and length of another international flight? Combine this adventure with Real Affordable Peru—a total cost of $6,290-$8,590 per person—for a savings of $1,000-$1,800 per person (depending on departure dates) compared to taking each trip separately. Additional benefits include:

  • Apply the 5% or 6% Frequent Traveler Credit you will earn on your first trip towards your second trip. Plus, Sir Edmund Hillary Club travelers save an extra $250-$350 per person when reserving multiple trips in a calendar year
  • Our Regional Adventure Counselors will work with you to make all necessary arrangements for a seamless experience

Air preferences

See some of the ways that 54% of O.A.T. travelers are personalizing their air itineraries on this adventure:

  • Choose your departure city, airline carrier, and preferred routing

  • Depart from one city and return to another

  • Upgrade your seat to Premium Economy or Business Class for a more relaxing experience to and from your adventure. Each airline has its own unique upgrade features, but here are the common perks associated with each class: Premium Economy normally features a larger seat, more leg room, and priority boarding, and Business Class features a smaller number of travelers in this section of the plane, a larger seat that can recline, more leg room, and priority boarding. Many travelers choose to upgrade their seat en route to the first destination on their adventure to arrive more rested and ready to explore—you can choose to upgrade for your roundtrip flight, or just one-way.

Freedom of choice during your adventure

We’ve carefully crafted this itinerary to provide a balance of included activities and free time, so you always have the flexibility to participate in included activities, go off on your own entirely, or do a mix of both. Whether it's on your optional extension or main itinerary, your Trip Experience Leader is available to help you pursue your own personal interests, and will help you with transportation, tickets, or anything else you need.

The choice is yours
