As part of its international expansion, the Brazilian adventure travel platform highlights seven expeditions in Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Costa Rica.
SãO PAULO, SãO PAULO, BRAZIL, November 13, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Brazilian nature and adventure travel platform PlanetaEXO has selected seven outdoor experiences across Latin America for 2027, marking the beginning of its international expansion in November 2026.
The selection features trekking expeditions, wildlife safaris, and nature-based journeys in Peru, Chile, Ecuador, and Costa Rica. These experiences reflect the region’s diverse natural environments, from the high-altitude landscapes of the Andes to the rainforests of Central America.
After developing its operations in destinations across Brazil, including the Amazon, the Pantanal, and Lençóis Maranhenses, PlanetaEXO is expanding its partnerships with local operators across Latin America, maintaining its focus on responsible tourism and experiences connected to nature and local communities.
1. Explore the Cordillera Huayhuash, Peru
Considered one of the most impressive treks in the Andes, the Cordillera Huayhuash brings together snow-covered peaks, turquoise lagoons, and trails that cross remote valleys. The range is home to Yerupajá, Peru’s second-highest mountain at 6,634 meters (21,765 ft). On itineraries of eight to 14 days, it is one of the most rewarding Peru adventure trips for those looking for high-altitude trekking, grand scenery, and routes far from the conventional tourist trail.
Difficulty level: Extreme
Best time to go: May to September
2. Go on a puma safari in Chilean Patagonia
In the area around Torres del Paine National Park, in Chilean Patagonia, travelers can join specialist trackers in search of pumas in their natural habitat. The experience combines wildlife watching with landscapes of mountains, lakes, and steppe, also home to guanacos, condors, and foxes. Given the nature of these big cats, sightings cannot be guaranteed, which makes each one all the more special.
Difficulty level: Moderate
Best time to go: April to November
3. Reach Machu Picchu via the Salkantay Trek, Peru
An alternative to the classic Inca Trail, the Salkantay takes travelers through landscapes that shift from the snowy peaks of the Andes to the cloud forests near Machu Picchu. The route passes through the region of Salkantay Mountain, which rises above 6,200 meters (20,300 ft), and can be done in different formats, including treks with overnights in comfortable mountain lodges. Great way to turn the arrival at the famous Inca citadel into an adventure in itself!
Difficulty level: Challenging
Best time to go: April to October
4. Hike the W Trek in Torres del Paine, Chile
One of Patagonia’s most iconic trails, the W Trek crosses the most spectacular scenery in Torres del Paine National Park. The route links the famous granite towers, the French Valley, and the Grey Glacier area, passing lakes, forests, and mountains. Usually completed in four to six days, the trek calls for stamina on long hiking days but rewards visitors with some of the most breathtaking landscapes in Chile.

Difficulty level: Challenging
Best time to go: November to March
5. Cross Costa Rica from coast to coast
Imagine crossing an entire country on an expedition that links the Caribbean Sea to the Pacific Ocean. In Costa Rica, this adventure can combine trekking, mountain biking, and river activities, crossing rainforests, mountains, and local communities. It is a way to discover the country’s extraordinary biodiversity while the journey itself becomes the main experience of the trip. Ideal for active travelers looking for a challenge and direct contact with nature.
Difficulty level: Extreme
Best time to go: December to April
6. Discover the wildlife of the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador
Giant tortoises, marine iguanas, sea lions, and birds found in a few other places on the planet make the Galápagos a unique destination for wildlife lovers. Located about 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) off the coast of Ecuador, the archipelago can be explored on land-based expeditions or cruises, with activities such as hiking, snorkeling, and wildlife watching. An immersive experience that brings you up close to one of the most incredible ecosystems in the world!
Difficulty level: Easy to moderate
Best time to go: Year-round
7. Go trekking in the Atacama Desert, Chile
Between volcanoes, salt flats, canyons, and high-altitude lagoons, the Atacama reveals landscapes that seem to belong to another planet. Beyond the classic tours, trekking itineraries make it possible to explore less-visited areas and see the desert’s geological formations and natural contrasts up close. Hikes range from accessible routes to more demanding treks, especially in the higher-elevation areas.
Difficulty level: Moderate to challenging
Best time to go: April to May and September to November
