Loved it Jeff was a great guide. Patient and knowledgeable. He managed... read more to save me from altitude sickness and made sure my husband got to see the peak of rainbow mountain and the red valley.

Despite not making it to the very top and getting sick, it was really magical to head out early and experience this amazing nature on our own. By the time we got near to the top, there were mules waiting for those who wanted to come down, so I took one for forty soles.

On the way to and from the site, Jeff and the driver provided us hot beverages. They gave us great breakfast sandwiches and an amazing lunch of local cuisine.

I really recommend this experience, and this is coming from someone who didn't even make it to the very top. More read less

Great experience !! 10/10 recommend We used VisitSouthAmerica.Co to book the Cusco 4 day bundle... read more this August (sacred valley, machu pichu, lake humantay, rainbow mountain) and we had a GREAT experience. This tour company was very organized and fairly priced. Tour guides were very knowledgeable about all sites, as well as super friendly and great photographers. (Noah was awesome and fun). Driver would pick us up on time. There was frequent communication between us and the tour guide for any questions we had. I would 10/10 recommend this company if you are looking for some great hikes in Peru!!!!!!!! read less

INCREDIBLE! We just finished our first trip to South America (Peru... read more and Bolivia) with Visit South America and I don't have enough good things to say about our experience with them! Hilton made himself available to us at all hours for facetime, calls, emails, text, etc. to answer all of our questions and help organize/plan our entire trip. He made sure we saw all of the epic places on our list and had teams available to us in each country. Our guides allowed us to enjoy our time at each location, and were not pushy or overbearing. We actually missed one of our trains in Peru and immediately his team responded and arranged for us to have a different transport from the train station in a different city to accommodate our mistake. I felt much safer and more at ease knowing we had experienced guides available to us if needed in each country. If you want to experience a once in a lifetime trip, VSA is your company and Hilton Davila is your guy! read less

The best trek experience of my life I decided to do the 8-day Hyuahyuash trek with Visit... read more South America this June for a photography workshop with my client. Everything was so well organized and smooth. Our guide on the trek was extremely kind, knowledgeable and flexible which allowed my client and I to access the viewpoints at the right time of the day. Doing the trek with Hilton (the CEO) was a real chance, he is such a funny and genuine guy and always there to help. Customers service throughout the whole trek from him and the rest of the crew was A+. Also food was amazing and I wasn’t the easiest customer with my Paleo lifestyle. :p Highly highly recommend Visit South America for any trip really, they truly care about making you happy. I really can’t think about anything negative to say to be honest. Best trek of my life. 100% satisfied. More read less

Private 2-day camping Paron and lake Llanganuco We booked a private 2 days camping tour in Paron... read more and a full day private tour to  Llanganuco through Visit South America and we couldn't have been more satisfied with the service.

Since we both are photographers, we wanted a custom experience and the Visit South America team went above and beyond to fit our “photography needs”. They provided all the equipment needed for a 2 days camping in the mountains (tent, sleeping bags, camping matresses, small stove, etc) arranged a private driver for both tours  (always on time, which is something super important to us) and they even suggested some secret spots to take very unique pictures.

The communication  went smoothly at all times and they made sure we were having the best experience. I would definitely recommend it to everyone looking for a tailor made experience in Huaraz. read less

Unforgettable Cusco 4D Tour My husband and I booked a 4-day tour with Visit... read more South America (VSA) at the end of April. Day 1: Rainbow Mountain Day 2: Humantay Lake Day 3/4: Machu Picchu 2-day Inca Trail Overall a 5-star experience, and would highly recommend to friends and family thinking about visiting Peru. Several factors set VSA above and beyond expectations – but the main one is the “customized itinerary” that was adjusted to our preferences, and the experience of the staff / guides that VSA has on the local team in Peru. Hilton (VSA founder) was readily available and even came on the Humantay Lake hike with us. We had Noah as a guide for Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake, and he was the best guide we’ve encountered in all our travels – informative, helpful and an amazing photographer! Rainbow Mountain is difficult because of the altitude and Humantay is solid medium (difficult) because it’s a slow uphill slog. It literally felt like Noah knew every step of both hikes, and it was clear he had our safety / experience as a top priority – even though he does the hikes several times a week.

Other aspects of the trip to review:



Schedule: a big reason we chose VSA, they adjusted our schedule for earlier starts as we wanted to avoid the crowds, and were always on time for pickups at the airport / our hotel in Cusco / the train station

Transport / Drivers: clean vehicles in good condition, experienced drivers – important as you spend 4-6 hours in the car / day, to and from Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake

Food: both packed lunches and local restaurant selections above expectations – clean and tasty, we did not get sick!



A big thank you to Hilton and the VSA Team for making our Peru trip truly amazing! More read less

Best honeymoon! When we were planning our honeymoon, we wanted to visit... read more as much countries as we can in South America. We live in the Philippines and it’s a 30 hour travel time from where we are. Thank you so much Noah, Jeff, Hilton and the whole team for creating a beautiful itinerary and a private tour for us.

If ever you’re visiting Palccoyo - request Noah as your tour guide. The best tour guide plus a very good photographer! See photos below! read less

Rainbow Mountain Tour Where to even begin! It was my cousin & my... read more first time visiting Peru (which is an absolutely breathtaking country in itself), and thankfully with the private tour provided to us by VSA, our experience became so much more memorable. We did the Rainbow Mountain tour fully planned and accommodated by our amazing guide, Hilton Davila. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable in providing us information throughout our tour and super helpful with any questions asked, but he was also so passionate and enthusiastic about what he does which made all of the difference in the quality of our experience. Our day started off with a private bus picking us up at 4am from our hotel that we were staying at. Although waking up this early is excruciatingly painful, the reasoning behind doing so was to arrive at and explore Rainbow Mountain early before crowds of people began to show up, which I thought was so well-planned out by VSA and definitely worth it. About halfway through the drive there, we stopped to get lunch at a local restaurant provided by VSA which was very delicious. We finally arrived at Rainbow Mountain and it honestly felt like entering a different world, having the place all to ourselves. Experiencing this place before other people arrived truly was phenomenal. Having panoramic views of mountains and fields for miles and miles, being entranced by the stillness and beauty of this sacred place, was... Where to even begin!

Additionally, on the trail, we encountered the nicest locals and the cutest alpacas! As we arrived at the top of the mountain, once again, it felt like having the place all to ourselves- an absolutely indescribable feeling of being connected and one with nature. We stayed a couple hours up there to relax, reflect, take pictures, explore, and simply indulge ourselves in the moment and take in as much as possible.

Overall, our Rainbow Mountain tour by Hilton exceeded expectations and was worth every moment. My only regret is that I did not book a longer tour with them! If you want an experience that is genuine and authentic, then VSA is the company you want to book with. Everything about our tour was planned out perfectly and so much fun, thanks to this amazing team and their passion for adventure. I’ll definitely be booking again with VSA next time I come back to South America :-) More read less

An excellent experience! This is possibly the best travel agency in the entire... read more region. The trip they organised for us was faultless; tailor-made itinerary, extremly friendly, engaged and helpful staff members, who go way out of their way to support our needs and the ability to get to places completly off the beaten track, known only to locals. That's what my trip with Visit South America was about. Just to give a few examples of their excellence, when my mother suffered altitude sickness, they have taken her to a hospital immediately, without any hesitation or additional costs, which meant 3 extra hours of work for the driver and the guide. While visiting the lagoons south of the Salar de Uyuni, we saw extraordinarily beautiful places completly off the beaten track, known to few, where we did not see any other tourists for days. The list of their advantages goes on and on... . I definiatelly and stronlgy recommend traveling with them. read less

And I have to say, that the team really knows how to do their job. They were super fast in giving the right answer whenever I had a question, made sure that I had an amazing time and even on a personal level, I really liked the two guys that I met from their team (Jeff and Noe).

Uyuni tour - worth every penny This was by far the cheapest tour we found online... read more but the quality of the company, people and tour are second to none!

Looking forward to return soon and explore more destinations with them. read less

As a female solo traveler the team at VSA made me feel safe at all times, and even thought I found the hike challenging at times, our guide Noe was nothing more than encouraging and supportive.

For Salkantay Trek 4D only Hi Ariana,

We appreciate all the kind words and positive feedback... read more in your review. And thank you for stating that your time with us at Visit South America was great. It really means a lot to the team!

Salkantay Trekking is a trusted partner of ours that operates our Salkantay tour as the domes are on private lands. However all of our other tours in Cusco are operator by our own team. We have had multiple groups do the 4Day tour and have heard nothing but good things from their time on the trek. It's very disappointing hearing this about Andre and how he reacted to your sickness. I wish our team would have known the situation right after the tour so that we could have taken immediate action and requested to have a sit down with Andre. Although it has been almost 6months after the tour we will do out best to reach out to our partner Salkantay Trekking to ask him about the specific trip. We will over how we could have handled the situation differently and ensure it does not happen again.

In any case, we apologies on their behalf and appreciate you letting us know in your feedback.

Happy travels!

Memorable trip Just done a 21 day private trip through Chile, Bolivia... read more and peru with VSA. I was worried at first because but it turned out to be one of the best trips of my travel life. Picked my own spots of interest from the unique collections on their instagram, and Sofia helped make it happen by planning the itinerary for us. Everywhere we arrived, there was at least one guide waiting for us, picking us up and showing us the best of that place. It was like having very good local friends who are super nice and knowledgeable, willing to go beyond their job, taking their time to make sure we had a good time. Really appreciated Jeff, Sergio, Noah, Indira of VSA and all guides from other coordinated tours that we took during the trip. Especially Hilton, although we didnt get a chance to meet him, he was there for us almost everyday, answering our questions and making sure we are safe and enjoying our trip. Thumbs up for VSA, if only they operate everywhere in the world, I would book all my trips with them. read less

Amazing time due to VSA! I never write reviews but I found myself needing to... read more write one for VSA. The staff is amazing. 1) Let's start off with the Founder of VSA, Hilton.

Thank you! 2) Noah: Noah was our guide for Sacred Valley (Maras, Moray, and Ollantaytambo). He was accommodating, patient, fun, very knowledgeable, and great at taking pictures. He definitely made our time in Sacred Valley so precious. It was like we were just hanging out with our friend that showed us the best picture taking spots while educating us on the history of Sacred Valley. Our driver, Gerardo, was also very pleasant. Even though we had a language barrier, the man was very sweet and made sure he opened the door for us! 3) Javier: Javier was awesome! Even though he's been doing the Machu Picchu tour for so many years, his passion and knowledge in sharing about the Incas still felt powerful! He has so much charisma and the transitions from sharing about the Incas to taking photos was amazing. He would wait for the best time to take our photos (which by the way was phenomenal)...

4) Joel: Joel was our guide for two days: The trek to Humantay Lake and Rainbow Mountain! This guy was the hardest working guide I've ever met. On both days, he came to pick us up from the hotel around 2:30am-3:30am and he trekked about 3-4 hours while my friend and I opted for horses because the altitude and weather was killing us. Even after a hard trek and lack of sleep, Joel would still be in great spirits in making sure we were taken care of. He would always check in on our altitude sickness, get us to our destinations on time, and he made sure our photos were picture-perfect! Our drivers for both days, Hugo and Roy, were also very sweet, pleasant, and great gentlemen in opening our doors!

My overall experience was awesome. The tour package made sure we got to our destinations at PRIME TIMES when not much people are around so we can actually experience our destinations to its full capacity. Even though we needed to get up early for some of these tours, it was all so worth it! Their two days of provided breakfast and lunch was awesome and quite the experience because the restaurants we went to was so authentic to Peru and the Inca experience. I recommend VSA to ANYONE who wants to do the 4 day tour. There was never a worry about how we were going to get to our destinations because of their provided transportation for us. All my friends are asking me about VSA because they saw how much fun and great pictures we had because of our awesome guides! Words cannot express the experience we had and we definitely owe it to VSA's awesome staff. If I were to visit another country in South America, I will definitely book with VSA. More read less

This tour takes you to the lesser-known Palcoyo mountain- Its a place where you get to stop and take in the beauty of your surroundings without dozens of other visitors obstructing your view.

Salkantay was a dream My fiancé and I began planning our trip after spontaneously... read more buying flights to Lima 7 months in advance.

Tips:

-Take your own snacks.

-Pack a bottle of wine (lol you have to trek with it to the camp but was cool drinking wine under the stars)

-if you’re not accustomed to high altitude, do as they say and drink so much water. Also- the coca leaves aren’t THAT bad. Grab a bag and keep replenishing your mouth.

-wear layers & comfortable boots More read less

Hidden Lagoons of Millpu are a must see Once we came across this location, we knew we had... read more to visit. Visit South America was able to provide a private tour to Millpu from Ayacucho so we didn’t have to go with a big crowd.

As soon as we got to the agency we set off to the lagoons.

Our guide Juan was really nice, made sure we saw everything, and took us to a little spot to have some delicious trout once we were done with the trek.

Its very lucky for us to meet the guide Noah, who was extremely friendly, knowledgeable and informative. He is also an excellent photographer that can show you good spots and advice tips for good photos.

Cusco is our last stop of the "14 days customised trip" planned and coordinated by VSA and this surely ended on a good note. The whole team (Hilton&Jeff) was very effective and easy to communicate, if this is your first time travel to South America, they are definitely a trustworthy guide for an authentic experience. read less

Machu Picchu & Huacachina We were visiting Peru in May, we had only a... read more month to plan. We Came across VSA on instagram & took a chance with them and we are soo glad that we did! Even with such busy lives Hilton, Noah and Sophia were such great communicators!

We first booked our Machu Picchu trip- we didn’t have to worry about anything!

We enjoyed our trip so much we booked another tour with them (their Huacachina tour). Thank you again Hilton for putting that together last minute!

For both tours VSA took care of everything & the best part, our tours were private! The guides they chose for us were fantastic!! We learned lots of history & didn’t feel rushed at all!

Definitely will use VSA again and will recommend them to friends/family!

Don’t be afraid to reach out to them!! :)) More read less

Amazing Peru Experience! My boyfriend and I decided to go to Peru for... read more our 1 year anniversary. We decided to book some day trips/overnight trips/excursions. He found VSA and I am so glad he did. We did a number of trips with them (Tres Rainbows, Sacred Valley-Maras and Moray, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Huacachina, Paracas, Chincha). The whole thing was awesome. Made our trip so enjoyable and stress free.

We had most things planned out before the trip. We basically got to design our own itinerary but Hilton had so many great tips and was so helpful.

The tour guides/drivers were so friendly and knowledgeable. They gave us so much information but also gave us insight into the local culture. Peru's culture and history is fascinating and I think we would have missed out on a lot if we hadn't been able to spend time with them.

Even when we were in Peru Hilton was available whenever we had questions so we always felt supported.

Overall I absolutely recommend VSA. It is a unique experience that is easy to plan/personalize and incorporates local culture. Hope they keep expanding so I can book them next time I go to South America. More read less

I’m coming back! So I took a solo trip over to Peru, and... read more got a chance to hang with the VSA (visitsouthamerica.co) crew.  I got in contact with Hilton (co-founder of VSA), prior my trip.

Hilton kept it professional/fun with the constant communication, any questions I had he was able to get back to me. Ok so day 1 when I arrived at Lima, Peru airport. Hilton went out of his way! He even flew from Cusco to Lima to meet with me at the airport. We got an uber and he showed me around Lima. I got to see the different parts of Lima despite the short amount of time I was there (8hrs).  A lot of the places he wanted to take were the “locals” spot which means real authentic experience but many of the places were closed cause it was Sunday (it was Lent, lol).

It sounds cliché but I really don’t know how else to describe it!  My only regret is I wish I extended my trip longer but I ran out of PTO, lol.  I am definitely coming back and going to contact my boys at VSA when I do.

Hidden Lagoons of Millpu are a must see Once we came across this location, we knew we had... read more to visit. Visit South America was able to provide a private tour to Millpu from Ayacucho so we didn’t have to go with a big crowd. Also, our bus from Lima had run late by two hours so we didn’t make it in time to our pickup. Luckily, they were understanding of our situation and waited till we arrived. As soon as we got to the agency we set off to the lagoons.

Our guide Juan was really nice, made sure we saw everything, and took us to a little spot to have some delicious trout once we were done with the trek.

All in all a great experience! More read less

8 days in Peru with VSA!! We just completed a week long visit to Peru and... read more we had VSA set everything up for us. They did amazing!!! We had guides or drivers to meet us every step of the way. The guides made the difference- their knowledge and expertise were astounding. We got comments from friends wondering how we got pictures of Machu Picchu without people in them- it is because the guide knew which direction and area to head to right off. They were always there to point out the intriguing and amusing. We always had someone we could call or reach out to if we had questions about the travel or next destination. We actually realized into the trip that we had one more day in Peru than we thought when we set up the visit through VSA and so mid way through the trip we arranged another day with flight changes, hotel changes, and they made it happen!!! We visited Lake Titicaca, Machu Picchu, sacred valley, Rainbow Mountain(Tres colores), Huacachina Ica, Islas Ballestas, and Lima. An all out amazing trip with amazing service. More read less

Being able to talk directly with Hilton the whole trip to create a custom itinerary that was suited for my friends and I's needs made for one of the best experiences with a tour company I have ever had.

Sacred Valley tour I am truly blown away by the experience we had... read more with Noah on the Sacred Valley tour. He planned our day out to best avoid the crowds, and there were very few people at all of the sites we visited (which normally get extremely congested). Noah is extremely knowledgeable about Peru’s past history and modern day culture- I easily learned more from him than I ever could from a book. The highlight of the tour were our conversations about the history, which were enhanced by the historical settings of the sites we visited (all were breathtaking). Not to mention, he is also a talented photographer, and took so many pictures of us on his professional camera. We had so much fun with Noah that by the end of the tour we felt like we made a great friend, and were sad to leave!

This was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on and HIGHLY recommend Noah (as well as Hugo, our driver, who was so kind, patient, and friendly). Both went above and beyond to make this trip special for us, and it was definitely the highlight of our trip. More read less

The only Rainbow Mountain to visit I did this tour by myself and it was perfect,... read more I felt comfortable and safe with both the driver and the tour guide.

This is an amazing experience, very few tourists as this place remains relatively unknown (maybe Rainbow mountain many years ago). It means you get great views with little impediment. Also, you have three rainbow mountains to look at, the climb to the summit is about an hour and you also get an amazing view of the snow capped Salkantay mountains, along with the llamas and alpacas, the whole experience is incredible.

The tour guide Jhimy is amazing, super friendly, has good english and has an excellent knowledge about the Cusco region and beyond. Jhimy answered all of my (many) questions and we had a good laugh along the way and he was patient with my frequent stops to acclimatise and take pictures.

We had a delicious breakfast along the way, with snacks provided for the hike and then lunch afterwards.

I couldn't recommend this tour enough, especially if you don't want to do the overcrowded and less fun Rainbow Mountain. More read less

He was even able to help us with changes after we had booked our trip, and even got us upgraded at no cost on our hotel rooms because of a last minute change I had requested that unintentionally disrupted the reservation.

Once we got to Peru all our guides: Efrain, Javier and Noah were amazing!!! They were super helpful answering questions and helping us get the most out of our trip. They all made sure we got the best pictures every time and we’re super friendly and kind to both of us.

If I could use VSA for every destination I want to go, I totally would! Looking forward for them to open more markets and keep expanding, bc they do offer a unique experience. 100% recommend it. read less

The country has so much heart, color, passion, and opportunities for unforgettable adventures. We split our trip in three parts: 1) Bogota, 2) Medellin, 3) Cartagena / Santa Marta. We went on amazing excursions from guided beer tours to all day hiking / swimming experiences (Piedra del Penol was incredible) to stimulating graffiti tours that offered rich context about the history of the respective region.

Best Trip of my life - 2 weeks in Peru and Bolivia! I have always planned to propose to my girlfriend in... read more Salar de Uyuni and after making a few comparisons I finally decided to organize this special 2 week south america trip with VSA! Best decision ever.

From a few months before the trip, we started with the customization of the trip with Sofia and Hilton. Sofia was extremely reliable and responsible, prompt in her responses and offered great creative suggestions to add to our itinerary. We managed to put together a fully customized trip at a very reasonable price. Hilton even got us multiple upgrades on hotels, bus services etc with no additional costs.

The moment we landed in Peru, we were greeted and hosted by English speaking guides. We never once felt lost in this foreign country despite not knowing a single word of Spanish. Our guides in Peru: Noah, Becker and Indira, were knowledgeable, funny, detail oriented and offered exceptional service in our private tours in Lima, Machu Pichu, Humantay Lake, Tres Rainbow Mountains and Lake Titicaca. Noah was particularly helpful in Cusco, when I suffered from a serious case of high altitude sickness, he was available at 4am in the morning to contact medical staff and arranged for a doctor to come check up on me. He was always there for us and made our trip so much more effortless.

In Uyuni, we had a truly unique experience hosted by Jeff. Despite our visit in the dry season, Jeff was able to locate a pool of water for us to capture the most beautiful mirror reflections. On top of being a wonderful, cheerful and creative tour operator, Jeff has also gone above my expectations to help me create the perfect proposal scenario - in the middle of the salt flats with wine and flowers which he personally brought all the way from La Paz! It shows how much thought and effort he puts in to create a memorable experience for us and the perfect engagement scenario. Needless to say, this was the defining moment for both of our lives and an unforgettable one.

This is definitely the best trip of my life so far and we wouldn't hesitate to book with VSA for our next South America trip! read less

4 day bundle tour review This company truly cares for its customers. Our 4 days... read more were with 4 different guides, all whom were the loveliest people with so much knowledge to share. We actually ended up having a private tour for the 4 days which was sweet too! The only meal that wasn’t included was on the sacred valley day. We were given two options, a 50sol or 80sol lunch. This was quite pricey in our mind, as the 4 Day Bundle tour isn’t cheap. But, every other breakfast / lunch / snack was provided for us :) We had a difficult to find address in Cusco, and one day our van pickup was late by 2 hours. However, we were compensated by being bought 2 free hot stone massages! This was over and above what we’d expected. Because of the early starts, there were hardly any people at rainbow mountain by the time we got up, and literally no one below in our pictures of Machu Picchu. This company wants you to get there early to have the best pictures and it’s so worth it. One thing we didn’t realize was that our included train ticket back to Ollayntambo from Aguas Calientes was at 4pm, but this left an entire morning and afternoon free after the 6am sunrise tour of Machu Picchu. And there isn’t much else to do in Aguas Calientes. We weren’t given an option for what time our train ticket back... This company truly cares for its customers.

Also, I would suggest reaching out through WhatsApp the day before your tour, as the pickup times the website says weren’t necessarily the same as when the van came! And because we weren’t contacted before our 4 Day Bundle tour had started, this could have caused problems.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND Communication is very important if you’re dealing with an agency.... read more VSA replied to us very efficiently and explained every bits of our rainbow tour. On the day of our tour, they picked us up at 2am and provided us blankets so we can still sleep on the way there (which is 3hrs one way). They served us superb breakfast and lunch. I miss quinoa drink and oatmeal. Lol We had our lunch at Mario’s (a local) house and it was very humbling to experience it. It is VSA’s one way to help locals too. Jacob, our tour guide, did a great job as well. He even carried one of our backpack and he was very patient to us. ☺️ overall, If I will visit South America again, I would definitely book with VSA. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ read less

Turquoise Waters in Ayacucho Visit South America.co set us up with the most incredible... read more and off-the-beaten-path experience in Ayacucho. Discovering the hidden turquoise pools, mostly a local’s spot, was an absolute dream.

Communication was quick, easy, and clear. We were late arriving and the agency was totally understanding. We had a private car waiting for us so we were able to avoid going with a huge crowd.

Our guide was very kind, and he took us on a thorough tour around the surrounding areas to make sure we had the best view of everything! He was very informative as he shared information on why the water colors changed in different pools.

We ventured past the people to a hidden waterfall flowing into another arrangement of pools. The color was the stunning green I have ever seen. We later hiked up to the end of the tour which gave us the most epic view of the pools and the valley. It was insane!

We ended the day at a locals spot where we enjoyed the most delicious trout I have ever experienced here in Peru, only s/10!

However, this tour showed us more of Bolivia’s beauty than we expected! Upon arriving to Bolivia, Jeff took time out of his day to meet us at the bus station and show us around La Paz. As a resident, he was very knowledgeable in his history and we learned more than we expected in these few hours. We left so impressed with this company and it’s customer service. We will definitely consider them again! Thank you! More read less

Best Tour Experience! From the outset VSA were so easy to deal with.... read more All communication was friendly, helpful, and the response times were quick. Plus all email correspondence was with the one person, Sofia, so I didn’t have to re-explain myself each time - a huge plus. Coordinating and confirming the pick up times/points with Hilton was also super stress free.

We did two private tours with our awesome guide Noah; one to Rainbow Mountain and the other to Humantay Lake. Noah is enthusiastic, knowledgeable, approachable, and a fine photographer - handy for when you want a group shot! It really felt like Noah was just another one of our group.

I’d highly recommend booking a Cusco tour with VSA, especially if you’re keen to see Rainbow Mountain. Whilst the early wake up call is a shock to the system, it’s worth it to be first on the mountain. More read less

Rainbow Mountain 1D Experience The team at Visit South America are amazing from start... read more to finish. From up front, responsive communications with Sofia, to pick up and drop off, to Noah and the guides the day-of, and even helping to get amazing footage along the way, VSA is the best (and only) way to go. The wake-up call is insanely early for the RM hike, but 100% worth it when your group will be the first to arrive and beat the swarms of people coming for the day. The peacefulness helps to enjoy the tranquility, as well as get out of this world pictures. As far as customer service goes, VSA is top notch. I would imagine all of their tours, as was our Rainbow Mountain trip, are very well organized and provide the best experience possible. I'd recommend VSA to any friends and anyone traveling throughout South America. Thanks, VSA! read less

Incredible private tours of Cusco’s most popular sites My girlfriend and I visited Peru in April and had... read more a wonderful experience with the Visit South America team. We purchased the 4-day package that included the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Laguna Humantay, and Rainbow Mountain. The first two days we had Jacob as our guide and his father, Gerardo, drove.

Noah was motivating throughout two very strenuous hikes at high altitudes. An added bonus on the trip was that both Jacob and Noah were EXCELLENT photographers. They captured some breathtaking images. I recommend following both @54.156.181.2 and @exploroads on Instagram.

Rainbow mountain - top experience! We booked a small group tour with VSA to the... read more Rainbow mountain. At the end, we were the only people in the tour, so i an say it was private :)

Yes, you have to wake up really early, but it worth - we really arrived to the summit first and it’s an absolutely different experience!

Both the guide and the driver were nice, food was very good (and I’m really picky in this) - they even give you plenty of snacks and blankets - in case it’s very windy on the summit.

We took the new road, and the trekking was ~1,5 hours and mostly flat!

Highly recommend - yes, it’s more expensive than usual crowded group tours, but it worth every dollar we paid.

The only thing I would recommend is to fix the payment on the website - there was a bit of confusion in the morning regarding where we go - classic or tres rainbows. But the guide solved it quickly.

Thank you VSA!! read less

May visit - Huaraz Seriously, an absolute incredible experience with the folks at Visit... read more South America. - We did the Huayhuash circuit in Huaraz and it was seriously one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world.

Our guides went over a detailed itinerary the day before we left for the trek, and made sure we understood the route.

We trekked through high altitude mountain passes at elevations of over 5300m. This means the air is very thin. Be in good physical condition if you are thinking of doing the full circuit. We chose not to have any rest days and ended up completing the trek in 7 days (over 125kms).

The guides that were assigned to us were friendly, professional and had breakfast, lunch, and dinner ready and waiting for us upon our arrival for each leg of the hike, as well as everyone's tents set up and waiting for us at the end of a hard days climb.

Would use Visit South America again (and plan to!)

You have the option to take a horse also if you are physically not feeling up for the challenge. Rainbow Mountain, another magical moment. What a great way to wrap up our trip. VSA - Thank you all for your wonderful service. I thoroughly enjoyed my overall experience. Looking forward to traveling with you all again in the future. -Danielle More read less

Unforgettable Machu Picchu 2 Day tour with Sacred Valley My wife and I had an amazing 2 day tour... read more in Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. It was an incredible experience from start to end including luxury accomodations at Aranwa and comfortable transports via van, bus, and train. Our First Day we spent exploring the varied sites of Sacred Valley by comfortable van with our excellent guide, Hilton. On Day 2, after an early morning wake up, we had another comfortable van transfer to the train station so that we could catch the Inca Train to Machu Picchu. There we met another excellent guide named Javier who accompanied us during our visit to Machu Picchu, his vast knowledge of its history and steady demeanor were definite pluses while visiting this incredible site. We ate incredible food throughout the tour, but especially noteworthy was our dinner at Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel. The entire tour was truly magical experience from its beginning to end! Highly Recommended! More read less

Machu Picchu Full Day Tour We could not have had a better experience with Javier,... read more our VSA guide, on the full day Machu Picchu tour. As four American girls whose Spanish is sub-par, we were lucky to find this company who organized this wonderful adventure for us and and spend a day with Javier to guide us through our time exploring Machu Picchu. Javier was very knowledgeable about the area and Peru in general, which allowed us to fully take in every inch of this beautiful World Wonder. Also, he was great at reminding us to take photos along the way. The views are so breathtaking that we often found ourselves distracted and you will want the photos once you return home (we certainly did). We also really loved how the tour was just the four of us (four friends from college celebrating our 30th birthdays). We were able to get all of our questions answered and the tour felt truly catered to us. When we were there, it was chilly in the morning but quickly heated up so you would likely want to at least have a jacket to start out but layering is key. We all had boots that had at least some level of traction which was extremely helpful when exploring as the terrain can vary throughout the hike. Finally, and probably most importantly, get a lot of rest the night before. It is a very early morning but the sunrise views...

Trip with VSA to Rainbow mountain - PHENOMENAL! We were one of the first groups to show up... read more at rainbow mountain. The van trip was super nice is a cozy van and then provided blankets! Our Guide Noah had everything prepared and made us feel super comfortable. He has pretty much perfect english because he lived in the states for a while.

Incredible experience visiting Rainbow Mountain and Red Valley with Visit South America We had such a great experience with Visit South America.... read more We got picked up the earliest out of all the tour companies in order to guarantee we were the first ones to the top of the mountain for sunrise. We were picked up on time in a very comfortable shuttle bus, provided blankets and pillows for a nap on the way. When we arrived we were given a nice coca tea and some breakfast before we started hiking. As promised, we were first to the top and had the view all to ourselves for 40 minutes!

Our tour guide, Noah, was amazing and very knowledgeable with the culture and helped us with some awesome photography tips.

Buffet lunch was delicious and plenty to eat after a busy morning! They were even kind enough to drop us off at the bus station and made sure our timing was perfect to return to Cusco. More read less

3-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek We spent 10 days throughout Peru (Cusco, Pisac, Lima), but... read more nothing compares to the 3 1/2 days we spent with Visit South America. We were short on time, so decided to cram the 4-day trek within 3 days, and the VSA crew did an amazing job making this possible. VSA's level of communication throughout the 5 months leading up to the trip was outstanding (they were great at adjusting to our non-stop changing plans).

At first, we we're worried about the price ($550 each person), because we knew there were cheaper local options available. However, after only the first day, we knew we picked the right company and already felt we got our money's worth. Most notably, our Guide Noah was the best. Our trip was particularly tougher than the others offered, but Noah knew exactly how to push us, how to deal with any altitude problems that arose, and knew the vast landscape and shortcuts better than anyone I could have imagined.

As far as the actual trek itself, it was something words can't describe. We decided to the do the Rainbow Mountain trek after seeing the hundreds of pictures throughout social media, but not even pictures can do this trip justice. Every hour, every peak, and every day, were completely different. For example, at one moment your surrounded by vast greenlands, and then the next, you're surrounded by Ausangate glacier and its surrounding lakes. Fast forward a day, and you'll find yourself in a Mars-like valley full of multi-colored sand. Yes it was tough, but every single part of it was worth it.

We then went on to Lima for the food and the city life, but nothing compares to week spent with Noah, the cook, the porter, and the services this company offered. In fact, we're already talking about our next stop in South America with this company. Do it! read less

Lifelong friendships Spent time with Hilton and his professional crew of guides.... read more I, along with 7 others, got to visit the likes of Machu Picchu, Rainbow Mountain, Ica, and a few other cities. Enjoyed riding quads through the sacred valley, Sand boarding through luscious desert dunes, and threw a couple snowballs at 16000ft altitude along the ridges of rainbow mountain. Grew closer to my brothers, as well as formed lifelong friendships with the entire group. I highly recommend this experience to all who enjoy an adventure get-a-way! read less

HUACACHINA 6-STAR EXPERIENCE WITH VSA Did a day tour to Huacachina with Visit South America... read more (VSA) at the end of April. Overall a 6-STAR experience with VSA! Picked up on time from our hotel in Lima and dropped off at the bus station. Ready to board the bus and realized we left our passports at the hotel – wouldn’t let us board without them! Panicked – we called Hilton (VSA founder) and he immediately answered and was able to help re-book the next bus (an hour later), while we went and retrieved our passports! The only downside to this day-trip is the bus ride is long (~8 hours round-trip), but the bus is comfortable, clean and air-conditioned. Once we got to ICA – we were picked up by a friendly VSA driver who brought us to a local restaurant, followed by a pisco tasting (tour) prior to going to Huacachina lagoon and desert adventure (dune buggy and sandboarding). Huacachina does not disappoint (as cool as seen in pictures). We’ve done dune buggies before in the middle east and this was way more fun! Drivers are experienced and know the sandy terrain well. Sandboarding was a cool experience and here’s where VSA solidified their 6-star experience. My iPhone flew out of my pocket while coming down the hill sandboarding. It was sunset – so nowhere to be seen (buried somewhere in the sand). The guide and other travelers tried to find / call it for a...

Sandboarding was a cool experience and here’s where VSA solidified their 6-star experience. My iPhone flew out of my pocket while coming down the hill sandboarding. It was sunset – so nowhere to be seen (buried somewhere in the sand). The guide and other travelers tried to find / call it for a good 20 mins – with no luck. This was our 2nd day in Peru so a bummer to start the trip! Devastated, when I got back to our hotel in Lima I was about to clear the phone remotely, but decided it was worth a try to send a text to it asking to call Hilton’s number if the phone was found. Next morning we called Hilton and sure enough – someone had found the phone and turned it into the tour office! At this point we were already on our way to Cusco, so not only did Hilton track down my phone (by making numerous calls), he had it hand-delivered back to me in Lima 2 weeks later, when we had a connecting flight back to the US!

Everything about the Huacachina day-trip was as advertised (highly recommended), but how VSA dealt with our “hiccups” of the day – was on such an elite level of service, that frankly we’ve never experienced before.

A big thank you to Hilton and the VSA Team for an amazing time and taking care of us! More read less

These guys know the best spots -- and make your trip seamless! Traveled for 12 days around Peru. We like to keep... read more things moving and want to see and experience the more unique side of travel. Hilton and his team worked with us to get the best itinerary together. No part of the trip was too fast or too slow. Also gave great advice on where to avoid the too touristy stuff. Highly recommend. We did Lima - Paracas/Inca - Cusco - Huarez. read less

Awesome trip and terrific service We had an awesome experience with Visit South America. We... read more had four days of tours lined up with them in Peru, but then our flight to Cusco got cancelled. When we contacted VSA to let them know, they were very accommodating and responsive and were able to modify our itinerary to ensure that we saw everything we wanted to on our new timeline.

Uyuni Salt Flats tour with an awesome Tour Guide + Amazing VSA team VSA is the real deal when it comes to customer... read more service in the South American tourism industry. They will go above and beyond to make sure you have everything you need. Jeff and Hilton are extremely easy to get in touch with; Hilton even called me before we left Australia to go over details of the tour. We were in a large group so coordinating what everyone wanted to do was tough, but VSA were extremely patient and I really appreciated this. Jeff personally made time to come to our hostel in Cusco and explained the details of the tour to everyone in the group, which was another example of how they go above and beyond. I definitely recommend VSA to a large group, especially when coordination can be difficult.

When it comes to the tour, there were no complaints at all. Elsa (tour guide) and Willy (driver) were absolute legends and Elsa really knew her stuff. She got all of the best photos at the salt flats and had a vast array of knowledge when it came to the surroundings. Willy was a lot of fun and brought some really good vibes.

My only regret from this whole experience was not using VSA for more of our time in South America! More read less

One of the best tour agencies in the market!!! The 2D Rainbow Mountain tour was a wonderful experience! We... read more were taken care of from beginning to end. Our tour guide Noah and the rest of the staff were extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. It felt like one big family. The view from our camp site was breathtaking and reaching Rainbow Mountain before the crowds was a dream come true. The Ausangate Glacier stop along the way was definitely a bonus. Highly recommend. Looking forward to visiting the rest of South America with these guys. Thank you VSA! read less

Great Tour of the Sacred Valley My friend and I went on the Sacred Valley tour... read more with Noah and Hugo. The team truly went above and beyond in everything. Noah was super knowledgable about every place we visited. He also was very nice about having to take breaks when the altitude got the best of me. It was a very long day for everyone - 8am to about 7:15pm - and Noah seemed as thrilled to share about the last place as he was about the first. We felt very safe the whole day and learned a lot. We would definitely recommend this tour to others. read less

Flawless experience in Cusco! Love VSA Love this company! I first got in contact with Jeff... read more from Visit South America. I had questions about traveling to different parts of South America and he recommended Peru and Bolivia because of the weather and incredible places to visit. I finally decided to visit Peru and it was the best decision! My friends and me had a blast exploring with the VSA team Noah, Sofia, and Hilton were so helpful and very friendly with any questions we had and advice we needed. I honestly don’t think our time in Cusco specifically would have been so great without this team! They took us to the best restaurants and recommended a bunch of different cute coffee shops and shops we could visit even after our tour had ended! They were always a text away. Oh, and the food that we were served during each tour was delicious! Thank you so much for making this trip one to remember! <3 More read less

South America made easy! This was originally a trip to solely Peru/Machu Picchu... but... read more seeing as we were in South America, we decided to travel to a second country. We stumbled upon Hilton and his company via Instagram and he set us up in the easiest way possible! The process couldn’t have been better. The tour we booked was a 3-day road trip through Bolivia which most specifically included Uyuni’s Salt Flats. The top destination we desired to reach. However, this tour showed us more of Bolivia’s beauty than we expected! Upon arriving to Bolivia, Jeff took time out of his day to meet us at the bus station and show us around La Paz. As a resident, he was very knowledgeable in his history and we learned more than we expected in these few hours. We left so impressed with this company and it’s customer service. We will definitely consider them again! Thank you! More read less

Amazing 3D Tour in Uyuni, Bolivia I booked the 3 days Salar de Uyuni Tour. I... read more had a great time not only visiting the Uyuni salt flats but also lagoons and volcanic hot springs all around the altiplano which totally exceeded my expectations.

I was really happy with our driver/guide Carlos as he always provided us with a lot of information about the places we visited, apart from being the fastest driver of them all! The staff in the two different hotels we stayed was super nice and helpful. Our group consisting of 6 people was fun, too. We always had enough time to take pictures or enjoy the view for as long as we wanted. The breakfast, lunch and dinner were surprisingly good with vegetarian options.

I booked the option going to San Pedro de Atacama where I had to change cars at the border which was no problem at all. The driver provided us with the necessary document to cross the border. Not to mention, that if any problem occurred, I could have called the guys from VSA.

Thank you, VSA for this incredible experience! Highly recommend! More read less

Huayhuash trek. Visiting Peru with Visit South America was an experience of... read more a lifetime and left me completely blown away, far exceeding any expectations I had. I’m so glad we chose these guys, who went above and beyond, in every aspect, from food, aids, attention to individual needs and considering I was the slowest person by far in the group, had patience in bucket-loads (which I appreciated throughly). Having the CEO, Hilton on board made it all extra special. I’ve been on a lot of trips in the last couple of years covering all parts of the world but this one stands out a great deal more than the others for all the right reasons! read less

Great experience - 4 day Cordillera Huayhuash did the 4 Day Cordillera Huayhuash in August. VSA planned... read more the entire trip for me as well as a couple days in Huaraz and additional hikes, all transit, and hotels. The company and people were really great to work with. They provided multiple options based on price range and what I was looking to do. I loved the 4 day option for the Cordillera Huayhuash since I didn’t have time to do the entire thing. Our guide was excellent as well as the local guide. We honestly ate better in that tent than I do normally. I’m looking to do more South America travel and will absolutely be booking with VSA! My only piece of advice is make sure to give yourself time in Huaraz to acclimate before going on a hike. I made the mistake of booking one an hour after my bus arrived and I got altitude sickness. However, I was fine for the Huayhuash two days later! More read less

The honeymoon we will never forget! My wife and I visited Peru in October 2018 for... read more over two weeks for our honeymoon, and Visit South America took care of organising and booking every step of our holiday (except for non-internal flights). Hilton - founder of VSA - was exceptionally helpful since the very beginning of the planning process. He helped us to put together the best possible itinerary given our preferences and needs, suggesting alternatives as appropriate. It was very easy to get in touch with him - via email, whatsapp, calls, any means of communication basically! - and we never felt stranded during the planning phase. He provided us with every information needed to pack and organise our time. During the trip, even though there were ad hoc guides in every single location we visited to, Hilton made himself available for every request and diligently coordinated the logistics behind the scenes. We found the local guides he selected for us knowledgeable, passionate and professional. In particular, a massive thank you goes to Edgardo (our guide for Paracas and Ica), Javier (who showed us Machu Picchu), Noah (Sacred Valley and Rainbow Mountains) and Nino (Arequipa). Thanks to them we managed to completely immerse ourselves into the history of Peru and travelled through time for two weeks. We feel very enriched after this experience and enthusiastic about Peruvian history. The selection of hotels was absolutely spot on and we felt pampered wherever we stayed. In particular, we...

The last couple of nights at the JW Marriott in Lima also have been absolutely amazing, with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean right from our room.

The only minor suggestion we have, especially for those of you who have never hiked before, is to make sure you don’t do all the hiking during the same week. Give yourself a bit of time to acclimate and to get some rest!

We very much look forward to returning to South America soon and, when that will happen, we will contact VSA for sure! Highly recommended. More read less

Experience of a life time! Me and my wife had the best experience with Visit... read more South America tours during our Honeymoon in March of this year. We visited Machu Picchu with our private guide Alberto, who was very passionate and knowledgable about the site and history of the Incas.

Our second trip was to the Rainbow Mountains with Noah as our guide. We were so fortunate to have Noah's expertise not only as a tour guide but as an exceptional photographer. It was like travelling with a friend and we really enjoyed the time we spent with him. read less

Amazing view! My family is glad that we found this alternative hike... read more to rainbow mountain which is much more doable for us than the normal rainbow mountain hike that take 3-4 hours 1 way.

We had an amazing guide, Mike who was really helpful during the hike and encouraged us to go at our own pace. He also helped us take beautiful pictures during our climb!

Since our family wasn’t acclimated to the high altitude we weren’t able to follow the 15-25 minute duration hike which we were told was the normal pace for the locals. It took us 2 hours to climb up but only around 30 minutes to climb down (although my brother who was in great physical shape had a much faster pace and could’ve probably done it faster). There were 3 viewpoints and we enjoyed the views in each one. Along the way we also got to see some alpacas roaming around the fields as well as at the 3rd view point!

Other little things we appreciate are the blankets and pillows that they provided during the car ride (plus we were allowed to bring the blankets during the hike since it was really cold during the hike) The breakfast and lunch spread was amazing as well! More read less

Private 2-day camping Paron and lake Llanganuco We booked a private 2 days camping tour in Paron... read more and a full day private tour to  Llanganuco through Visit South America and we couldn't have been more satisfied with the service.

Since we both are photographers, we wanted a custom experience and the Visit South America team went above and beyond to fit our “photography needs”. They provided all the equipment needed for a 2 days camping in the mountains (tent, sleeping bags, camping matresses, small stove, etc) arranged a private driver for both tours  (always on time, which is something super important to us) and they even suggested some secret spots to take very unique pictures.

The communication  went smoothly at all times and they made sure we were having the best experience. I would definitely recommend it to everyone looking for a tailor made experience in Huaraz.

Best Thing you’ll ever do in Bolivia My friends & I visited Bolivia and let me tell... read more you if you don’t do the Salar de Uyuni you don’t see Bolivia for what it is. This trip was incredible !

We explored volcanic geysers, lagoons, salt flats, a cactus island in the middle of the salt flats & llamas with flamingos, cute little foxes.

If you have the chance to request a guide ask for Henry

He taught us so much & took us to see everything Bolivia had to offer.

Just Go & Experience it for yourself ! read less

Peru and Bolivia Custom Trip I have been wanting to visit Peru and Bolivia for... read more many years. I found Visit South America on Instagram because I am an active user there. Hilton was the contact person and he helped me customize my itinerary. In Peru we visited Paracas, Huacachina, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu and Rainbow Mountain.

Hilton was very helpful, he was punctual and very reliable. I went there with my husband and best friend. We all had such a fantastic time and we are planning another trip back to South America.
