Fantastic tour guides, thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise! Small adjustments to the itinerary (a little more down time, and more options to visit historical sites) could make the tour even better.

This tour was full of culture and community. We loved the range of activities offered in the cities and the mining tour was a real highlight, run by ex miners who have an amazing sense of humour!

Great way to see Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. The Bolivian Salt Flats were an unexpected highlight. So beautiful. Patagonia was also stunning. I really enjoyed understanding the lives of the indigenous people. Thank you.

Really nice experience, I saw a lot things and had many highlights. It was a pitty that our first CEO was not that good and caused some negative vibes in the group. The Lares Trek was cool and no problem at all for me regarding the hike but some people should have not be on the trek because they struggled really hard and we needed to wait really long for them.

I came for the salt flats but got to discover that Bolivia has so much more to offer with its culture, history, and different terrains. I appreciated being able to see both the cities and nature. It was special to witness a culture so connected to the land and Indigenous people. The CEO was exceptional: approachable, communicative, kind, informative, organized, attentive and passionate.
