ARGENTINA

Argentina is such a diverse country that it's hard to know where to begin! From the sun-baked, high-altitude landscapes of the North to the frozen tip of Southern Patagonia, the country's vast expanse is packed with one jaw-dropping view after another. Just the word Argentina conjures up images of lone gauchos riding across vast pampas plains, of sultry characters locked in tango's passionate embrace and of exuberant football fans cheering on the infamous Maradona. All of this can indeed be found within Argentina's broad borders, but this dynamic country goes beyond the stereotypes and delivers much, much more.

CATDMC's second largest operations office is in Argentina. We opened our office in 2004 and have been growing ever since. Our local team of around 20, are experts on all aspects of travel in Argentina and Chile.

PERU

Brightly colored textiles, dancing devils, llamas, pink dolphins, coca leaves, Inca ruins, colonial cities, huge snowcapped mountains, long winding rivers, surf filled beaches and of course the food! And that's not even close to describing this fascinating country. Peru is the third largest country in South America and one of the most geographically diverse. With the Andes running down the middle and the Amazon basin and desert Pacific coastline on either side, Peru boasts an exciting mix of glaciated mountains, steamy jungle and sandy beaches that is just asking to be explored. Although often known as the land of the Incas, there are so many more ancient civilizations. The wealth of archeological sites dotted all across the country is truly mind blowing.

CAT DMC opened its very first office in Lima some sixteen years ago. Owing to the ever-increasing number of visitors traveling to Peru, the company then opened a second office in Cusco. With these two strategically located offices, along with our many years of experience in the country, we have developed a reputation for excellence in Peru. Our Peru office also operates all our tours to Bolivia, where we have close relationships with our local partners.
