Best Americas destinations
for solo travelers
From the coffee highlands of Colombia to the wind-swept glaciers of Patagonia and the rainforests of Brazil.
Patagonia
Torres del Paine and the W Trek are among the world's great solo hiking experiences. Raw, demanding, and deeply transformative — for experienced hikers ready for the challenge.
Ring Road Solo
Rent a campervan and drive the Ring Road alone. Geysers, black sand beaches, northern lights, and a culture of honesty and trust that makes solo travel feel entirely natural.
Pura Vida Solo
Volcano hikes, cloud forests, and world-class surf. Costa Rica's well-developed tourist infrastructure makes solo travel genuinely easy — and the "pura vida" culture makes it deeply joyful.
Cusco & Beyond
The Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, and the Amazon — Peru rewards solo exploration with extraordinary cultural depth and landscapes that defy every expectation.
Banff & the Rockies
Turquoise glacier lakes, bear country trails, and world-class ski resorts. Banff's solo travel scene is thriving, and its safety and infrastructure are impeccable.
Amazon & Beyond
For the adventurous solo traveler, Brazil's Amazon basin offers once-in-a-lifetime wildlife encounters. Combine with Pantanal safaris and the cultural wealth of Salvador or Paraty.
