More than any other, South America is a continent that is constantly rewriting our understanding of its scale, diversity and impact on the rest of the planet. In 2024, an expedition into Peru\u2019s Alto Mayo region revealed more than 27 animal species new to science, including a unique amphibian mouse. In July 2025, archaeologists in Peru announced the discovery of a 3,500 year-old city named Pe\u00f1ico, which was founded by the Americas\u2019 oldest civilisation, the Caral.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But the Caral \u2013 along with the Inca, the Aztecs and the Maya \u2013 are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the rich diversity and history of Indigenous groups throughout South America. According to the most recent Indigenous World Report, there are more than 400 recognised Indigenous groups in South America. Their importance to the management of the natural environment, their respective countries\u2019 social fabric and our understanding of the physical and human geography.<\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we believe it\u2019s so important to support South America\u2019s diverse Indigenous population, through our MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae Experiences. To explain further, we spoke to Maritza Lopez, Insight Vacations\u2019 Senior Travel Experiences Manager for the Americas, who shared her own personal encounters with South America\u2019s Indigenous groups and Indigenous travel experiences.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Discover Indigenous Chilean crafts at Pueblito Los Dominicos<\/p>\n

On Day 2 of our new Heart of Patagonia tour, you\u2019ll visit Pueblito Los Dominicos in Santiago, Chile. Located next to the historic San Vicente Ferrer Church in Las Condes, it\u2019s the largest artisan center in Chile, with more than 150 workshops displaying and selling Indigenous and traditional Chilean crafts. Highlights include the delicate horsehair crin weavings (a technique kept alive by rural communities in southern Chile), and the charming \u201cchanchitos\u201d (little pigs) made of black or red clay from Quinchamal\u00ed and Pomaire, whose pottery tradition has been recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will also find jewelry and carvings in lapis lazuli, a semi-precious stone mined in indigenous areas of the north and crafted by artisans preserving ancient Andean traditions. The market also offers masks, paintings, and sculptures representing Mapuche and Selk\u2019nam iconography, crafted from native woods such as raul\u00ed and lenga\u2014artwork that directly supports Indigenous communities who sell and produce in their own workshops. Shopping at Los Dominicos is a special Indigenous travel experience that means immersing yourself in living history while supporting the country\u2019s native artisans.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2. Visit the Guaran\u00ed community in Argentina<\/span><\/p>\n

On Day 5 of our sister brand Trafalgar\u2019s Impressions of South America tour, you\u2019ll have the chance to meet the Guaran\u00ed people of Argentina in a unique Indigenous travel experience. The Guaran\u00ed are Indigenous to Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina, and have a deep spiritual connection to their land and an inherent understanding of how to live in harmony with it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The community you\u2019ll visit on the MAKE TRAVEL MATTER\u00ae Experience live close to Iguazu Falls, near the Brazil-Argentina border. Iguazu Falls is a sacred site for the Guaran\u00ed, and the inspiration for a number of folk tales, including the story of <\/span>I-Yara, a malign Pomboro spirit, said to have abducted a maiden named Ang\u00e1 and hid her. It\u2019s believed the swallows that inhabit the falls are still searching for her to this day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your meeting with the Guaran\u00ed begins with a warm welcome from an Indigenous guide, who will lead you along forest trails weaving through and around the village. As you walk, you\u2019ll discover the Guaran\u00ed\u2019s rich world of beliefs, myths, and legends, and learn about the healing properties and traditional uses of medicinal plants. You\u2019ll visit the community\u2019s sacred temple and gain insight into the tribe\u2019s initiation and baptism rituals. Continue on to see their crop fields, family homes, and the ingenious hunting traps once used to catch different animals. Your visit concludes with a fascinating display of traditional handicrafts\u2014beautifully crafted from natural materials such as wood, lianas, and seeds.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When I was welcomed by the Guarani, it wasn’t just a simple ‘hello\u2019,says Maritza. \u201cIn their culture, a greeting is an exchange of energy – not just between two people, but between the ancestors we each carry. It was one of the most moving welcomes I’ve ever experienced.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. Meet Quechua Weavers in Peru’s Sacred Valley\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Day 4 of Insight Vacations\u2019 Peru With Machu Picchu tour, you\u2019ll take part in a MAKE TRAVEL MATTER Experience with the Quechua weavers of the Sacred Valley.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Quechua are the largest Indigenous group in Peru, descendants of the Inca and preservers of the Quechua language, which remains widely spoken in the Andes today. Their cultural heritage is rooted in communal agriculture, weaving, music, and spiritual traditions tied to <\/span>Pachamama<\/span><\/i> (Mother Earth).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Traditionally, they farmed crops like potatoes, maize and quinoa, following ancestral techniques adapted to mountain climates. But they are most well-known for their woven textiles, renowned for intricate patterns and natural dyes, which serve as both clothing and storytelling. It\u2019s this part of their cultural identity you\u2019ll learn about directly from the weavers themselves on this Indigenous travel experience when you visit a weaving workshop near Cusco for a private demonstration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Quechua<\/p>\n

4. Discover Inca traditions on Amantani Island, Peru<\/span><\/p>\n

On Day 10 of our sister brand Luxury Gold\u2019s Grand South America journey, you\u2019ll visit the remote Amantani Island. Located in the middle of Lake Titicaca, the rocky island is home to around 800 Indigenous Quechua-speaking families. The terraces that make up the signature \u2018fingerprint\u2019 look of the island\u2019s hill and mountains date back to the Inca, who inhabited this place between the 13th and 16th centuries, and are still used for subsistence farming today.<\/span><\/p>\n

Like the Quechua of the Sacred Valley, the people of Amantani also practice traditional weaving methods, producing brightly-colored textiles made from alpaca wool. On this Indigenous travel experience you\u2019ll be warmly welcomed by an Indigenous family, and <\/span>discover how the traditions and language of the Inca culture are being kept alive against a backdrop of ever-encroaching modernity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“Sailing across the still, sacred waters of Lake Titicaca felt like stepping into another world”, says Maritza, “where time slows and tradition runs deep. I was welcomed with such warmth and simplicity. It was beautiful to see their weaving – not just as part, but part as a living tradition still deeply embedded in their culture today.”\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
