Climb Through
South American History
Head south to the land of bright landscapes and even sunnier people in mysteriously beautiful South America.Shrouded in mystery and the mists of the surrounding Andes, the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu rightly sits atop many travel wish lists.
Arguably the most spectacular and famous archaeological site in South America, it’s hard to believe that this awe-inspiring place was all-but-forgotten until the 20th century. And while it is the main reason travelers book trips to Peru, there’s so much more to see, experience and enjoy on a Cosmos tour to this postcard-perfect destination including the Sacred Valley and a stop in Lima, the foodie capital of Peru.
Drink the rum with a rumba, samba, and sunsets and discover an extraordinary world that’s closer than you think in Peru, Argentina, Chile, and Brazil. Throw in a cruise around the Galápagos Islands for good measure!

Origins of Globus Family of Brands
It started with a rowboat in 1928. Antonio Mantegazza (the eventual founder of the Globus family of brands) bought a rowboat on credit and began transporting travelers across Lake Lugano, sharing stories of local sights. Then, paid holidays begin to become standard for workers and Mantegazza expanded his operation with more rowboats on Lake Lugano. Throughout the decade, he also added: taxis on land, a fleet of twelve motorcoaches operating in Switzerland, operational rights to a popular local route for the Swiss national postal and transportation service. In the early 50’s, Globus introduces the “circular tour”, offering a one price, all-inclusive vacation package. Later, Grand European Touring is launched, offering first-class tours around Europe. In the 1980’s, Globus becomes of the world’s most popular tour operators, offering vacations in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Europe, Africa, the South Pacific, Asia, and South America. In the 2000’s, Globus launches Avalon Waterways, adding river cruising to its range of travel styles. Globus launches Monograms In response to Baby Boomers’ desire for more independent travel. The Globus family of brands begins offering Religious vacations through Globus Faith. In 2021, Choice Touring was launched by Globus. We’re eager to see what’s next!
