Amazing Experiences

Galapagos Island visitor and giant tortoise; Andean Explorer First Class Rail Journey; MV Aria dining

When you travel to South America with Scenic Tours you’ll be rewarded every day with
exciting and diverse encounters. The Inca ruins at the mountaintop citadel of Machu Picchu.
Cuzco’s old town and architecture spanning from pre-Inca to Spanish colonial times. The
thundering cataracts of Iguazu Falls. The fascinating culture of the local communities at
Lake Titicaca, one of the world’s highest navigable lakes. The trio of cities abuzz with life –
Santiago, Rio de Janeiro and Buenos Aires. And these are just a few.

The South American Experts


We have many years of experience in South America and carefully plan our holidays so that you
get maximum enjoyment from your travels. Our tours are scheduled during the best times of the
year to travel. In Peru we make sure that you’ll gradually acclimatise to higher altitudes over several
days, by starting in the Sacred Valley, continuing to Machu Picchu and Cuzco before arriving at Lake
Titicaca. And there are exciting cruising options too - into the Amazon wilderness, to the Galapagos
Islands, amazing Antarctica, or along the Chilean fjords.

The Scenic Tours Difference


There is so much to absorb at every destination, and we let you do just that with extended stays.
After your day touring the archaeological site at Machu Picchu you’ll have the next morning free
to revisit the ruins, spend time wandering through the township of Aguas Calientes, or just relax
in your fabulous Scenic Special Stay hotel. You’ll spend three nights in Santiago, Rio and Buenos
Aires, with lots of included sightseeing and activities as well as time to explore on your own. You’ll
have two relaxing nights at Iguazu Falls, staying inside the national park, where we take you to the
falls three times - touring the spectacular Brazilian Falls, travelling by boat upstream to the ‘Devil’s
Throat’, and taking the rainforest train to view the falls from the walkways on the Argentinean side.

The Ultimate Touring Experience

Andean Explorer Observation Car; Most meals included; Scenic Tours Tour Director

Scenic Tours understands that every moment of your holiday is precious. When you travel
with us you can completely unwind, secure in the knowledge that our holidays are great
value for money and include everything you could wish for.

Nothing More To Pay


With Scenic Tours you’ll enjoy personal service all the way and there are no “hidden extras”.
When you arrive in South America, you’ll be personally met by our representatives who will
arrange transport to your hotel. This service is at your convenience, not just on the day that your
tour departs. Whilst on tour we include all of the ‘must-see, must-do’ activities, plus a whole lot
more. Instead of just viewing all the sights from outside, we include the entry fees. You will be
accompanied by an expert team of two - your Scenic Tours Tour Director and an expert local guide.
In the highlands of Peru we have a second local guide so you have three people to look after you.
All tipping and gratuities are included and airport check-ins within South America are completed for
you, including payment of airline taxes. After each flight you will be greeted and escorted to your
hotel, where your luggage will be waiting for you in your room. At the end of your holiday we’ll take
you to the airport, assist with check-in and farewell you before your onward flight.

More Meals Included


As well as a full hot breakfast every day, we provide many lunches and dinners. Dining is a key part
of South American culture and lifestyle and you’ll enjoy a series of memorable highlight meals which
will have you eagerly anticipating the next one.

Scenic Club – Rewarding You


Travel only once with Scenic Tours and you’ll automatically become a member of SCENICCLUB, our
exclusive loyalty program which offers special savings, recognition and service for our repeat guests. To
find out more about the many benefits you will receive, please visit www.scenictours.com.au/scenicclub.

The Finest Hotels in the Best Locations

Sofitel Oceanview rooms, Rio de Janeiro; Libertador, Lake Titicaca; Sumaq Hotel, Machu Picchu

Our South American hotel collection is nothing less than five-star. We offer a mix of boutique
hotels with regional flair as well as highly-ranked establishments operated by international
hoteliers. You’ll be treated to exceptional standards of luxury, service and décor. And when
you step outside, you’ll always find yourself in a landmark location, right in the heart of
your destination.

Top-class Accommodation, Perfectly Positioned


The Casa Andina Private Collection has been judged Lima’s best hotel by Trip Advisor. This boutique
hotel with Peruvian aesthetics is in fashionable Miraflores with its upscale nightlife and shopping.
On the shores of Lake Titicaca, Puno, the Hotel Libertador is the only five-star hotel in the area
and guests enjoy impressive views of the lake. The elegant InterContinental Santiago is in one
of the city’s most prestigious areas, close to San Cristobal Hill, Plaza de Armas and La Moneda
Presidential Palace. The Hilton Colon Quito is a short walk from the colonial Old Town, a UNESCO
World Heritage Site.

Scenic Special Stays


True to their name, Scenic Special Stays are an extra-special holiday feature to look forward to.
These hotels are all unique and world-renowned. Unbeatable locations, fabulous service and opulent
accommodation guarantee a truly memorable experience. The Sumaq is the only five-star hotel in
Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu town) with breathtaking views of the Andes. Exclusively located in
front of the Sun Temple, the Hotel Libertador Palacio del Inka is right in the historic centre of ancient
Cusco and is ranked in the top 15 South American hotels by Condé Nast Traveler. At the Sofitel
Rio de Janeiro our guests stay in Luxury Rooms with balconies and sweeping views of Copacabana
Beach. Hotel das Cataratas by Orient-Express is the only hotel located within the Iguazu National
Park, allowing guests exclusive access to the world famous falls each morning before the park opens.

Small-Ship Expedition Cruising to Antarctica

Le Boréal, artist’s impression; Outside deluxe stateroom, artist’s impression

Antarctica is high on the wish-list of travellers who dream of the excitement of adventures in
this untouched wilderness. The launch of Le Boréal takes expedition cruising in Antarctica
to a new level. In 2011, Scenic Tours guests will experience Antarctica in style onboard.

The Allure of the White Continent


There is no other place on earth where the impact of mankind is so small. In the frozen realms
of Antarctica, the natural world thrives in a landscape which is both inhospitable to man and
majestically beautiful. From the comfort of your luxury ship, you can access this place by Zodiac in
the company of an expert crew of naturalists and historians. All of the guides are fully accredited
and they will make your zodiac excursions and encounters with seals, penguins and marine life
incredibly rewarding.

A Brand New Cruise Ship – Le Boréal


With her maiden voyage in May 2010, Le Boréal’s first Antarctica cruises are in high demand,
setting new standards of luxury and comfort. Employing the latest in marine technology and
eco-friendly practices, the ship has been designed and purpose-built for expedition cruising. In
the spirit of a private yacht, Le Boréal has an intimate and luxurious atmosphere. There are just
132 beautifully appointed staterooms and 94% have private balconies. Dine on fine French cuisine
or light and healthy options in either of the two restaurants. Attend informative lectures in the
theatre, find a quiet corner in the library or pamper yourself in the Beauty Centre.

In 2011, Scenic Tours offers a fully escorted Antarctic expedition cruise combined with the luxury
Icons of South America tour.

Cruise Deep into the Amazon Jungle

Amazonas, Iquitos; Onboard dining; Toucan

A wilderness expedition meets luxury travel aboard the new MV Aria. Fly into the remote
town of Iquitos and sail along the northern Amazon River into the Pacaya Samiria Reserve.
This protected wildlife area is blanketed by rainforest and jungle and is only accessible
by boat. Here you’ll have the chance to observe thousands of brilliantly coloured birds,
monkeys, the three toed sloth, caymans, iguanas and the endangered pink Amazon dolphin.
You will interact with local people living in villages alongside the river in much the same
way as they have for centuries.

Introducing MV Aria
Launching in February 2011 the new MV Aria is an intimate cruise ship, exclusively chartered by
Scenic Tours, catering to a maximum of 32 guests in complete luxury. There is plenty of space to
relax onboard including an abundant outdoor observation deck with Jacuzzi, a comfortable lounge,
bar and intimate dining room. The luxurious oversized guest suites include sitting areas and floor
to ceiling glass windows for panoramic Amazon River views. Elegant dining is a feature of life
onboard and the menu reflects Peruvian and European influences. Fine South American wines are
complimentary with meals. Four highly trained English-speaking naturalist guides will take you on
up to three expeditions a day, aboard comfortable motorised skiffs. They’ll share with you their
boundless knowledge of the flora, fauna and history of the Amazon.

Scenic Tours’ Amazon Adventure


Scenic Tours are the only travel company who will fully escort you on your Amazon cruise. In addition
to the ship’s guides, your Scenic Tours Tour Director will be onboard. Because we exclusively charter
the entire ship, you can be sure that your fellow passengers will be like-minded travellers. Only with
Scenic Tours can you combine South America touring with cruising on the Amazon and a Galapagos
Islands cruise. This fully escorted luxury holiday is sure to be the trip of a lifetime.

Galapagos Islands Cruising

MV Galapagos Legend; Blue-footed boobies; Visitor and sea lion, Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands are one of the natural world’s last frontiers. Scenic Tours offers you
the opportunity to combine your South American holiday with a deluxe expedition cruise
aboard the MV Galapagos Legend that will allow you to explore this incredible ecosystem.
And, you can add an Amazon cruise to create a fully escorted South American holiday full
of memorable highlights – exclusive to Scenic Tours.

The Greatest Wildlife Sanctuary on Earth


Surrounded by the vast Pacific Ocean, these dramatically beautiful volcanic islands were the
inspiration for Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution. Their complete isolation has bred many unique
species which are instinctively unafraid of man. You’ll be amazed at how closely you can position
yourself to observe these creatures coexisting freely - giant tortoises, blue footed boobies, fur seals,
penguins, sea lions and land and marine iguanas.

Your Deluxe Expedition Cruise Ship


The MV Galapagos Legend has been specifically fitted out for Galapagos Island cruising. Onboard
is a team of guides who are accredited naturalists, officially rated as the best in the business. They
will host many informative presentations on the ecology and history of the islands and accompany
you on daily excursions ashore or snorkelling in the marine reserve.

With spacious public areas, a swimming pool and broad observation decks you’ll have all the
amenities of a deluxe cruise ship with the intimacy of a small expedition vessel. Your stateroom
with large picture windows and ensuite facilities will be a Junior Suite. You’ll have the services of
a concierge and the ship’s chefs will present mouthwatering Ecuadorian and international cuisine.
In the evenings there’s stargazing on deck and often the water around the ship will be floodlit for
viewing marine life in action.

Cruising the Chilean Fjords & Antarctic Peninsula

Holland America’s ms Veendam; Star Princess

The shoreline surrounding the southern tip of South America is isolated, wild and dramatically
beautiful. Because large parts of the coast are not easily accessed by road, the best way is
to see it from a luxury cruise ship. You can add one of three wonderful cruising options to
your Scenic Tours South America holiday. Depending on which one you select, you can also
cruise to offshore islands and the Antarctic Peninsula.

A Choice of Two Magnificent Ships


Grandly proportioned and recently enhanced, the ms Veendam offers spacious comfort and the
latest Signature of Excellence features. Star Princess is a destination of her own with every amenity
imaginable and impeccable service. Onboard both ships Scenic Tours guests enjoy guaranteed
Balcony Staterooms for private viewing of the passing scenery. Staterooms offer everything you
would expect from a first class hotel, including 24 hour room service. All meals and entertainment
onboard are included and you will dine on some of the finest meals.

Around Cape Horn


Board the ms Veendam or Star Princess for a 12 or 14 night cruise between Valparaiso and
Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro, with scenic cruising around Cape Horn. Puerto Montt’s scenery
is fabulous – blue-green fjords and the snow-capped volcanoes of Chile’s Lake District. Ushuaia
is your gateway to the “End of the World” in Tierra del Fuego National Park. In Stanley on the
Falkland Islands, browse at the Britannia House Museum or visit penguin rookeries. The charming
old city of Montevideo is the site of Uruguay’s last Spanish-built military bastion and the Graff Spee
Monument.

Scenic Cruising in Antarctica


Choose from two itineraries including spending Christmas and New Year at sea on a 20-night cruise
from Rio de Janeiro to Buenos Aires. Both itineraries include four days of scenic cruising along the
Antarctic Peninsula. You’ll have the chance to observe colonies of penguins, seals and abundant
sea birds as you cruise past incredible ice formations.

aboard the Orient-Express Andean Explorer train, take a thrilling boat ride to the base of Iguazu
