There are a lot of surprisingly unexpected beautiful places and archeological sites in Peru. Our trip was in May and it was cold but all worth it!
Looking forward to another trip with Expat Explore! Thank you for the unforgettable experience

We had an amazing trip!!! The company in Uyuni Damayatur went above and beyond for us! We also loved our driver in La Paz- and Nirco our tour guide too- so informative. We also really enjoyed Nilo our guide for the Mashaquipe Ecolodge and our tour there! It was a treat to be in the city for Gran Poder as well. Great trip! Highly recommend!!!
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.
North Brazil is such a beautiful area of the country filled with tropical beaches and blue waters. However, this was nothing compared to Lencois Maranhenses National Park, which was included in the tour by CharlieTheTraveler. The sand dunes weaving through blue patches of water was a unique landscape. I think this would be my favorite destination on this tour. The company-provided tour guide was also a great addition to help navigate.
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.

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!
I am writing this review as I look through all of the pictures I took of the beautiful natural landscapes in South Brazil. CharlieTheTraveler included so many picturesque sights, including Hito Tres Fronteras, the beaches on Santa Catarina, and the Iguazu Falls. However, the best experiences of the trip were not able to be captured in pictures. The tours immersed me in the Brazilian culture. The authentic town of Ouro Preto offered a great experience. I appreciated that the company allowed me time to be immersed in the culture on my own.
This was one of my favorite trips. The itinerary was good, our tour guide was excellent and the small group tours allow for more flexibility more time at locations when everyone agreed to make small changes. Their prices are also very reasonable even as a single traveler.
