South America Tours in October 2025

Our guide Lyss Torres was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. She made the trip so wonderful. She went out of her way to help when things went wrong, lost luggage on arrival at Lima. We couldn’t have managed without her help as LATAM airlines were very unhelpful. There were long journeys but we were prepared and they were broken down into acceptable sections. The overnight bus was perfectly okay and I slept most of it. Overall an amazing experience and I would recommend it, just read the itinerary in detail.

This was the trip that kept on giving. We were first timers with Explore but nothing disappointed. Carolina, our tour leader was wonderful and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. She found me veggie meals without fuss or issue, patiently translated and made sure we were all happy. A very sensible tweak was made to the itinerary in order to help us acclimatise to the altitude as well. All three countries gave us jaw dropping scenery and photo opportunities and day after day of natural beauty. There were many highlights but those that especially stood out were the huge and colourful rock formations and scenery in Argentina, the salt flats of Bolivia, the sundowners and wonderful stay at Luna Salada, the Atacama in Chile and the night of stargazing in Santiago. All in all, I can't recommend this trip enough and would definitely suggest adding time at the start and end if you can.

The tour was amazing and super well-rounded! *personal info removed by Feefo* is an awesome tour manager, and he brought such a fun energy to the trip! For how much we did, the trip itself was well paced, with enough time to rest on our travel days.

In three weeks we had a comprehensive tour of Peru with an excellent leader, Julio. Diverse landscapes, fabulous food, friendly people and amazing weather. We learned so much about the country and are already planning to return.

A really comprehensive, interesting tour of Peru but a bit rushed in places and exhausting. In particular, we had no time at all in Lima and not enough time in Nazca. Flights to Peru with Avianca are often delayed (ours was by 24 hours) so I'd advise scheduling an extra day at least at the beginning of this trip to relax and see something of Lima.

The whole trip to Costa Rica with Explore was a memorable experience. Our guide Diego and coach driver Jose looked after us with care and their enthusiasm to make sure we saw as much wildlife, plantlife and scenery as possible has given us many memorable moments
