Why choose Value Holidays?

These budget holidays leave you with the freedom to discover Latin America's highlights on your own; we include one (unmissable) excursion, but the rest is up to you. Should you decide to include more pre-booked trips that's fine too, our holidays can always be tweaked to your requirements.

Our essential holidays feature the best value hotels, without sacrificing comfort, to ensure that you can visit all of Latin America's highlights - from Machu Picchu in Peru to Argentina and Chile's remote Patagonia - on a tighter budget.
