South America Walking Trips

We had a fantastic trip to Patagonia with a good group & a top guide Luciana who was so enthusiastic, happy, helpful & keen for us all to love Patagonia as much as he does. We had one difficult couple who wouldn’t take any advice for the hikes & they had problems but Luciana was always helpful & they had a local guide to personally guide them down. I would happily recommend Luciana, Explore & Patagonia to everyone.

Fantastic trip but the trip notes need updating. The trip notes say dollars are required but we found we could use a card at everywhere we went without a problem. Using cash in the local currency could tresult in a discount but you have to change to local currency. The itineray is full on as described. It is not unusual in Argeentine or Chile to share a meal and they are huge. It woud be good to know that in advance. It is very windy so windproof clothes very important. If people go with Air Europa it is worth looking at their reviews.

Booking with Explore is easy and straightforward. The ability to log in to your account to add and check details is excellent. Explore are always keeping you up to date with your trip. My trip to Peru was amazing. Wonderful country, landscapes, food, culture. The Explore itinerary captures all the highlights without the hassle of organising yourself. Julio was a great tour leader. Friendly, funny, well organised and professional. We didn't have to worry about anything with Julio looking after us.

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.

Just returned from the most fantastic holiday to Peru with Explore.Everything went perfectly and I was lucky enough to share my experience with the nicest group of people( 11 of us) you could ever hope to spend time with. Our Explore leader ,Erikson, was just fantastic. He was so organised,kind interesting and just a really nice person all round.He showed such care for all our group and because of this we all achieved the 4 day Inca trail to reach Macchu Pittchu which was absolutely fantastic. Our brilliant team of porters ,cooks and deputy guide Emile were excellent. I cannot recommend this trip enough- it was the experience of a lifetime. I went 3 days earlier and really recommend doing this as Cusco is so wonderful with so much to see and do.It also felt incredibly safe on my own.

One of my best ever adventures, made special by a caring group and Julio our experienced and knowledgeable guide who was full of enthusiasm and cared about everyone. My top highlights were Taquile Island, particularly the singing and dancing around the fire, and camping above the clouds on the Inca Trail. Other high points included the Lima v Arequippa football match, Huacachina Oasis, the floating islands, the hot springs and Ollantayambo.
