Flights in South America

Hop around South America while you're there for winter break. If you’re planning a multi-destination trip, you’ll need to consider all sorts of transportation. International flights can cost a lot more than domestic flights, so try to cross borders via bus or car (be careful to check the transportation company’s reputation before you board), or use our discounted student flights to bring you from point A to point B without breaking your budget. Consider one of StudentUniverse’s South America tour packages to avoid this process altogether.

Top South America Destinations

Machu Picchu

An abandoned Incan citadel perched high in the Andes mountains, this mysterious relic is Peru’s headline attraction. Luckily, there are plenty of cheap Lima flights that will get you one step closer to the high-altitude adventure of a lifetime.

Galapagos Islands

This collection of 18 volcanic islands sits off the coast of Ecuador, relatively isolated in the Pacific Ocean. The islands’ unique wildlife inspired Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, and now you can explore them, too!

Rio de Janeiro

The open arms of Christ the Redeemer welcome you into Brazil’s most iconic city. Join a volleyball game on the sunny shores of Ipanema Beach or wander through The Tijuca Forest.

Salar de Uyuni

Tour the world’s largest salt flat, located in southwest Bolivia. During rainy season, the entire flat is covered in a thin layer of water that reflects the sky above, earning it the reputation of “world’s largest mirror.” This site usually takes 3-4 days to visit.
