During the hike, we will pass by fascinating geological formations created by the last volcanic eruption, such as small lava tunnels, spatter cones, and scoria cones. It will feel like walking on the moon! Along the way, we may spot endemic vegetation like Lava Cactus and Tiquilia plants, as well as some of the island’s famous Darwin Finches.

  • "

    South America indeed left me wide-eyed with wonder. This was my second WOW trip and what a trip it was. Rio de Janeiro was wonderful despite the rains and the samba class was so much fun with everyone trying on the costumes. The Iguassu falls and the Brazilian bird park were fabulous too. Peru made me gasp with wonder and for my breath too! Lima, Cusco, Lake Titicaca and of course Machu Picchu which was the focal point for most of the wanderers. . Bolivia was a lovely addition to the itinerary with the unique city of La Paz. As usual, a wonderful group of women made this trip a success. I must also mention the cool, level headed n always smiling WOW buddy Vithika. She was so caring n helpful when I was having trouble with the high altitude in Cusco. Thank you Vithika for coordinating everything so nicely

    While selecting the tour agency for a trip, one asks “why WOW?” But after travelling ,one realizes that Wow is not just a travel agency---it is a travel family. The care and the exclusive hands-on experiences are something to be remembered even after the trip—be it dancing the Samba, a five star picnic lunch with snow-capped Andes range as companions, being photographed with the Llamas or tasting the local brews, such as Kashasa(Brazil), Pisco(Peru) or Singani(Bolivia)….even learning how to make a cocktail of perfect potency!! And of course the Wow buddy….a friend and a dependable companion. What makes her tick? This has been my second travelling experience with Vithika Solanki - and she has proved her worth.

  • Wanderers striking a pose against Christ the Redeemer Statue - A Wonder of the World
  • It’s hard to describe the experience of visiting Machu Picchu. People who’ve visited like to call it “breathtaking”.
  • With spectacular waterfalls amongst a backdrop of dense rainforest, Iguazu falls national park is not only one of the most iconic travel destinations in South America, but one of the most beautiful too
  • Wanderers dressed as authentic samba dancers in Rio De Janeiro
  • Wanderers posing at the Parque del Amor (Garden of Love) in Lima. This garden is a landscaped park overlooking the ocean with a huge kissing sculpture, mosaic walls & a snack stand.

  • What does twin share price mean?

    Twin share price is the price mentioned against a package and it refers to the cost per head for a double sharing accommodation. If you'd like to upgrade to Single Occupancy, please select this at the time of checkout
  • Regarding the hotels, what does OR SIMILAR refer to?

    OR SIMILAR means that the hotel booked might be different from the hotel mentioned in the itinerary. 90% of the time we book the hotel that’s mentioned, but under few situations it might differ due to on-the-ground factors. So we pick an alternate hotel, but always in the same class and area of the city.
  • Can WOW book the flights for us?

    Definitely! We routinely book and manage flights for our Wanderers. We recommend that travelers get their flights booked through us as this comes in handy when there are issues to do with cancellations or re-routings.
  • How safe is to travel with The WOW Club?

    Your safety is our number one priority. We've designed our itineraries since 2005, keeping this in mind. We always ensure access to emergency contacts throughout the trip.
