As Guardian Travel’s resident ‘explorer’, Kevin Rushby, reaches the end of his 3,000-mile journey through Peru, Bolivia and Brazil, this week we’re celebrating tours and cruises which allow you to discover more than one country in one trip. From a river cruise through Central Europe to following the Silk Road across Central Asia, these multi-destination getaways give you the chance to explore more cultures, historic sights and cuisines than most. And they’re a little easier on the legs than Kevin’s previous adventure, cycling from Denmark to Iceland…
