In light of the exciting return of Channel 5's 'Around the World by Train with Tony Robinson', Journey Latin America is releasing their top holidays to destinations featured in the documentary. This Friday, Channel 5 will air the second of six new episodes, which focuses solely on incredible train journeys through South America. Journeying through the heart of Argentina and Peru by rail, Robinson takes in the vibrant colours of Buenos Aires and the ancient mystery of Machu Picchu.

Journey Latin America, the UK's no.1 specialist in travel to Latin America, offers expertly designed Tailor-made Holidays and Escorted Group Tours which include unique opportunities to explore the continent by rail, including on the luxury trains featured in the Channel 5 documentary.

Buenos Aires, Argentina

In the vibrant Argentinian capital, Buenos Aires, Robinson is taken aback by the 'feast of colours'. He learns to tango and savours a traditional steak at an asado (barbeque) before travelling on the 'Train to the Clouds', one of the world's highest railway bridges. Journey Latin America's range of expertly-designed holidays to Argentina can encompass all these activities. Their 14 day self-drive itinerary includes time in Buenos Aires, and excursions in Salta where the 'Train to the Clouds' departs from.

14 days from £2,827pp incl. international flights and Train to the Clouds excursion.

Machu Picchu, Peru

Undoubtedly one of the most iconic sites of South America, Machu Picchu is breathtakingly beautiful and astounds archaeology-enthusiast Robinson. The majestic ruined city, found high in the Andean mountains of Peru, can be reached from Cusco on board the luxury Belmond Hiram Bingham train. Follow in Robinson's footsteps and discover ancient wonders on Journey Latin America's 10 day Peru by Rail itinerary.

10 days from £6,659pp incl. international flights and rail journeys.
