Tucan Travel have released more departure dates for their range of new group tours for 2015 in response to a growing demand for them.

In 2014, Tucan Travel launched 12 new group tours to South America after noticing the popularity of this route in their tailor made department. The first departures begin in May and the tours start in Lima, La Paz or Santiago and finish in Santiago, Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro depending on the length of the tour.

Incredibly fast paced, the tours are designed for those people short on time but who do not want to compromise on places to visit and things to see. Tucan Travel expects these group tour to be popular with the over 50's, who have been inspired by their children's gap years.

Rolf Stanley, Latin American Destination Manager, reports, “we are delighted with the reception that these new group tours have had and have doubled the number of tours we will have departing in 2015 to meet demand.”
