South America Tours and Trips

My wife and I have just returned from our 'bucket list' trip 'Simply Peru' with Explore. It lived up to our expectations and then some! The iternary was what we would have hoped for with a few good surprises such as the two days on Lake Titicaca- especially Taquile Island, if a little on the 'cool' side, and Colca Valley and the Condors. Our main highlights were a flight over the Nazca Lines and, of course, Machu Picchu! We also did the Machu Picchu Mountain hike - another highlight. Cuzco is such a wonderful city with some great Inca heritage including Sacsaywaman. There were many, many more highlights not least of which was our tour leader, Erickson Arenas. Thank you Erickson for making this such a memorable holiday. I would recommend this trip to anyone without hesitation. This will take some beating!

Wonderful itinerary. Guides were knowledgeable and patient. Machu Picchu Hotel was very loud with trains, parties and fumes from the trains. Galapagos was one surprise after another. The final hacienda hotel in Quito was breathtaking. By far my favorite accommodation. Great trip.

Peru - a beautiful country. Inca ruins, salt plains, an unforgetable boarding the train and Machu Picchu. Cuzco has so much to offer. Guide was fantastic amd passionate about his country Ecuador has stunning cathedrals and beautiful scenary. Galapagos islands were incredible. So much wildlife seen and lovely to see the conservation efforts for tortoises and other species. Was also amazing to see the Blue footed boobies doing their mating rituals and the frigate birds nesting. Completely unforgettable full on trip

I had a fabulous holiday with explore in Peru. We saw amazing places stayed in lovely hotels and had fabulous food.Arturo our tour leader was incredible- so informative and helpful, going the extra mile to ensure that we had the best holiday ever. I would definitely recommend this holiday it truly was amazing.

Such an amazing holiday. Jose at True Mountain Traveler made it such an excellent experience and provided a lot of care and patience to us. You also get to meet wonderful likeminded people who love the outdoors just as much as you. Highly recommended. Just make sure you arrive a few days before to acclimate to the high altitude.

The CR tour was one of our best! The guide Juan Carlos, the wildlife, the scenery, the adventurous experiences, the accommodations and the food were all excellent. We would love to do it again!
