The trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands was the perfect balance of adventurous activities and cultural experiences for me. I loved all of the numerous activities packed into this trip and appreciated that CharlieTheTraveler organized the trip so well so it never felt like I was being rushed from site to site like I have felt with some other tour companies. This was the perfect getaway for me!
This was an excellent tour. We a nice sampling of Argentina and Brazil in just two weeks. The countries are huge, so many weeks could be spent traveling to much of their sites and cities.
Diego, our tour guide, was terrific!! Hats off to Diego!!

This was an excellent trip in every way. The leader Alejandro was outstanding- very caring, helpful , informative and well-organised. Peru is a varied and interesting country and although Machu Picchu was spectacular there were many other highlights to our tour. The itinerary covered a lot of ground but it was not too rushed with a good mix of organised activities and some free time. The transport by bus and train was comfortable and the hotels were good and well-situated.

I was wowed by the beauty and scale of Argentina. Our tour leader Carolina could not do enough to look after us all and make sure we all had an enjoyable experience. The wine tours were interesting and varied, and the wine tasting great fun and of high quality. I would have liked a few more short walks included, but understand they would be hard to fit in as we were covering such distances.

This was a busy but amazing trip. Matchu pichu was out of this world.
Galapagos was wonderful, so much wildlife and great memories made with our group.
Definitely should have packed less so could buy more.

We had an amazing time and felt well taken care of. All the gudies were so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend doing the Lares Trek with Bamba Experience.

I really enjoyed my stay in Colombia through this tour of CharlieTheTraveler. The activities and excursions were well planned out. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The accommodations were welcoming. I felt well supported throughout the entire trip. I would not hesitate to book with this company again.
Great trip. Beautiful archeological sites and cities included in the itinerary. Would have been helpful for many travelers to know that for the two nights at Machu Picchu you will need an overnight bag for the train ride and hotel stay as your luggage is likely too large for the train to Machu Picchu. Cusco was a great city to walk around and sample a lot of good restaurants.
Well prepared Salkantay trek 5d/5n zone with Saul G as a guide and Gregorio as a chef and Cesar and Walter as porters. Good food all the way and amazing places to sleep such as the hobbit houses and the star gazing houses the very first night. Bonus was the lomo saltado cooking class and the visit of a coffee farm.
