Tres Rainbows Tour!! HIGHLY recommend the tres rainbows tour! Originally we had signed... read more up for the one-day rainbow mountain tour but at the last minute changed to the tres rainbows tour, and we are SO happy we did!!

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. We were constantly in awe of how diverse and beautiful the landscape was, and found that photos can’t fully capture its beauty. LOVED this tour, and our guide Noah! read less

Perfect excursion to Palcoyo Rainbow mountains (Tres mountains) Booked this tour at the last moment when hardly any... read more local vendor knew of it. The guide Noah and Hilton were awesome. We were well informed about trip inclusions, things to carry, safety, etc. the guide Noah also helped us in photography.

The tour operators and guide are super friendly and helpful.. thank you Noah and Hilton!

I Strongly recommend Visit SouthAmerica!! read less

Tres Rainbow Mountain Tour Booked a tour in the Rainbow Mountains. The short hike... read more was nice compared to the classic 6hour version. After doing the Inka trail, my knees really appreciated the short 45min hike. The scenery was amazing! Our guide, Jacob, was kind, friendly, and knowledgeable about the area. We stopped to have a small breakfast prepared for us and got a packed snack bag for the trek. On the way back we stopped again to have lunch, which was a mini feast! All delicious. The trek was a great time and a great value. Thanks so much!

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

Huacachina Paradise Can’t say enough good things about VSA! We were in... read more Lima, and weren’t really sure what to, it was gloomy and starting to rain, so we called VSA and Hilton took care of us. We told him our preferences for adventure and he told us about Huacachina! Let me tell you, it was so worth it!

The whole day was organized from the moment we got of the bus from Lima with a driver waiting for us, to food, Dune Buggying and “sandboarding.” I never thought a place like this existed in Peru. VSA was flexible with our schedule and very affordable for the value they added to our trip. Thank you!! More read less

Rainbow mountain & red valley day trip Amazing experience! Noah is the best tour guide out there!... read more My family and I were the first ones there and got to watch the sunrise at rainbow mountain. After we went to red valley (20 min hike from rainbow mtn) and it was just as incredible. The sites were unreal but Noah was so accommodating and insightful and truly made the experience unforgettable. After we stopped to have lunch at a local home and had a fresh home cooked buffet. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Ask for Noah if you want to have a great trek to rainbow mtn! read less

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

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. I told him how many days I was there and told him what I wanted to see/experience. Hilton worked his magic with itinerary despite handling multiple clients; he even helped me book my plane tickets to Peru/Cusco. 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). If you’re in Lima, mos def go see Barranco and Mira Flores area! So day 2 flew to Lima to Cusco , got to check out the VSA office HQ, washed up and met with some other tourist from Canada.  Our tour guide Noah was super friendly and mad respects with the knowledge of the city and destinations we visited!  We had...

Ok im just probably gonna keep rambling about my trip and I’m sure you don’t care. And only want to know if VSA is the way to go.  It was my 1st time in South America and hands down, it was the most fun/memorable trip I have ever taken. 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.

Custom 8 Day Peru Tour These folks are the real deal! easy to get in... read more touch with and customer service is unparalleled. I recently visited Cusco, Peru with my boyfriend and our 8 day customized itinerary was detailed, practical and amazing.

Our tour guides Noah and Javier were magnificent and very insightful. Highly recommended. I'm looking forward to our next visit! 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

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

Salkantay was a dream My fiancé and I began planning our trip after spontaneously... read more buying flights to Lima 7 months in advance. I worked with Sophia on the planning and she was so friendly and helpful despite my million questions and revisions.

We did a couple treks but my favorite, by far, was the Salkantay 2day trek with overnight stay in the domes. Machu Picchu was enjoyable but, as expected, touristy. Not my favorite.

Salkantay was the true experience we hoped it would be. Other reviews talk about the hike being difficult due to altitude- and it was. I’m moderately athletic and do cardio exercise regularly - it was still hard. However! I love horses and took the opportunity to enjoy one trek in a saddle. SO WORTH IT. No sense of regret going this route- it gave us the chance to really take in all the scenery through the entire trek instead of watching our step on the very loose rocky path. But either way- our guide, on this trek and others, walked at a slow pace. This isn’t normal for me as I preferred to “go go go.” But I eventually picked up on why (breathing techniques) and enjoyed the hikes much more thereafter.

Further, if you’ve looked up Salkantay I hope you’ve seen the domes. Yes -they are as cool as the pictures. With the weather we had, the dome got a bit foggy after being in it a while but the stars were very visible before. We just set an alarm around midnight to crawl out of the dome to star gaze for a bit. I loved them- I also enjoyed watching my 6’4 fiancé crawl in and out of the tiny door.

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 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

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

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

The Beat Experience (first ones there) The first point of contact that we received was from... read more Jeff. He confirmed our hotel pick-up time and what hotel we were staying at. He informed us of what to pack and answered our many questions quickly. We were concerned about the the altitude sickness as we did not have much time in cusco to acclimatize to the altitude before heading up to an even higher altitude. Jeff assured us that the guide will have an oxygen tank and is trained in monitoring signs and symptoms. Our hotel pick-up was at 2:00AM, yes I know it is early but trust me it is worth it! They do this so that you are the first ones there! Everything was very punctual which was very nice, so you knew how the day would go. Once on the road, you make a pit stop to pick up pillows and blankets for the 2hour and 50 min bus ride to the start of the trail. Once parked at the start of the trail it is still DARK! And very cold (make sure you dress in layers!). You can use the washrooms while the driver and your guide (our guide was Noah! He was the best! I will mention him more later) get your morning snack prepare. They have hot drinks, fruits, goodies and a sandwich to give you while they brief you on what to expect.

I will mention him more later) get your morning snack prepare. They have hot drinks, fruits, goodies and a sandwich to give you while they brief you on what to expect. This is where they ask you if you will need a horse or not.

For the horse, you can get a horse round trip which is 80 soles or 60 soles one way. You must tell the locals if you want a round trip right away. My friend chose to do roundtrip because she wasn’t adjusting very well. I did one way that way I could keep up with the horse on the way up which would be the harder part and hike and take my time and take photos on the way down. That would also get us to the view point faster so we can catch the sunrise.

Our guide Noah, was incredible! He kept checking up on us making sure we were feeling good even though he was on foot (almost jogging) while we were on horse. He also took photos and videos for us while we were on the horses as you need both hands on the saddle at all times since the horses ride right along the edge.

You come to a point where the horses are no longer allowed up and you MUST go on foot. It is a STEEP climb. Take your time. I was able to go a faster pace than my friend so Noah had said for me to go ahead and he will stay with my friend. As I look back I see him constantly comforting her and reassuring that she is okay and that she can do it. That made me feel comfortable to go ahead and explore on my own and the best part! I was one of the first few people at the top!

Once at the top the views make it so worth the hike! It is so incredibly beautiful! There are no words to describe it. Some people Say “oh it’s not as bright as the photos or it’s dull” you have to remember that it is a naturally occurring beauty. There are no dyes or additives to make tourists like ourselves happy. The preserve it as natural as they can.

I want to thank Noah for make our experience so special and so memorable! I will be talking about this forever! Tell stories about this day to my kids and to my grandkids and hopefully one day also take them here! More read less

They say the main cause of accidents happening on other tours is because of drivers falling asleep - but Wilson was extremely attentive! He even let us play our own music via bluetooth which helped pass some of the long drives. The sites themselves were breathtaking - almost like being on another planet! We loved every single stop. The towns we stayed in were also so unique, it's definitely an experience that none of us will forget!

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.

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

A Truly Exceptional Experience I cannot say enough good things about this company, it's... read more employees & the experiences it offers.

Our tour guide Noah was truly the best. He was super enjoyable to hangout with & had tons of information about Rainbow Mountain, the people of Peru & was completely prepared for any hiking issues.

All in all, this company is spectacular & when I visit Peru again they will be the only tour company I use!

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

Uyuni Salt Flats, A MUST SEE! Incredibly pleased with the program/schedule and professionalism of VSA. We... read more went on a three day trip led by Malu Veltze and had a blast! Although we stayed in Uyuni only for a day and the rest was spent traveling, it was more than enough! We visited all the "must see" spots and even managed to have a private lunch in the middle of nowhere on the flats. It was definitely an adventure! Highly recommend it :) read less

Memorable experience in Cuzco with VSA We chose 3 days - Machu Picchu/Sacred Valley/Rainbow Mountain, all... read more tours were so scenic and i totally enjoyed it. 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

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

Rainbow Mountain all to ourselves! I have been wanting to visit Rainbow Mountain for so... read more long but wanted to avoid all the crowds. The VSA Team organized For us to have a private car for us to leave earlier and be there early enough to take our time to do this challenging hike. We were the first ones up and got to enjoy this amazing place. They provided veggie options for breakfast and lunch as well!

As we spent 2 hours appreciating the views we made our way down to see the crowds arriving. An amazing experience that I highly recommend! read less

Millpu Turquoise Lagoon trip from Ayacucho One of our best trips in Peru! 4 hour drive... read more through super windy roads is not easy, but we were so lucky to have an amazing guide, Eddy Frank.

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

Little did we know it would be some of the best restless night, The most beautiful scenic bus rides, And get to meet some of the most genuine people, from the tour guides to the bus drivers. Truly great people that we had the chance to meet and connect with. We did a custom tour of Peru and it was more than we ever that it would be. We saw everything on our list and then some. In the end it was a trip of a lifetime that left some great memories. I highly recommend visit South America and Explore Peru if you are looking to make your vacation an unforgettable adventure. 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. We visited Salar de Uyuni and La Paz in Bolivia.

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. Everything about the trip was top-notch including: hotel accommodations, transportation, guide quality, and food. Thank you guys! It was an amazing trip and we can’t wait to go back! More read less

Rainbow Mountain and Humantay Lake Treks Visit South America exceeded my expectations in every way possible.... read more From many phone conversations and emails with Hilton (the founder) to plan our treks to actually adventuring in Peru with enthusiastic and informative tour guides, the founder and his team are delightful. Although Humantay Lake was more of a strenuous hike than we had originally imagined, the breathtaking view made it worth every moment! 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

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. From our drive Hugo and our amazing guide Noe the team at VSA went above and beyond! Will definitely travel with VSA again. read less

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

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!

Couldn’t recommend VSA.co more. 5 star experience. :) 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

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

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! More 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!)

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.

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

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.

Trip of a lifetime! We booked this trip with VSA a few weeks before... read more our departure and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It was so reassuring to see how professional and organized these guys were as we were going into this “blindly.” The earl wake-up calls were slightly painful, but once you got to your destination you immediately recognized that it was well with it (like being the only one on top of rainbow mountain during sunrise!) The tour guides were very excitable and clearly had an interest in making sure your trip would be one to remember. Our guide to Machu Picchu had been there >20 times, but he was just as excited to be there during our first. Our guide to rainbow mountain (Noah) turned out to be a professional photographer! He took amazing pictures of us with his camera without charging us extra. He then took us to a native Peruvian house for a traditional lunch - could never have had that without these guys! Can’t recommend VSA enough. Cheers! read less

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

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!

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.

Incredible, personalized Machu Picchu tour My boyfriend and I booked our Huacachina tour and Machu... read more Picchu tours with Visit South America. Hilton, the founder, and Sofia were amazing.

The drivers were all on time and with signs with your name!

It was tailored to us and private...which when you get to MP and see the bus loads of people being corralled, you're grateful it's just your party, and bilingual guide.

Shout-out to David who was so knowledgeable and so fun! Not only that, it was like traveling with your personal photographer... he was eager to help with photos.. which was amazing! The drivers, Danny, Edgar, we're so grateful for them! They took us through the Sacred Valley and MP plus provided plenty of recommendations for the rest of our days. Quick texts for any help and Hilton was right there! Thanks, guys! 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. 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

HUACACHINA DESERT OASIS DUNE BUGGY TOUR Visit South America did such an amazing job setting up... read more our all-day tour. We worked with Hilton and he was extremely responsive and easy to work with. We told him the type of experience we wanted, and he advised which tour to do, where you can take great photos, and even organized how the whole day would look for us.

He and his team were very flexible when it came to customizing our schedule and did most of the heavy lifting starting from how to get to the oasis from Lima, which restaurants to eat at, and booked the Dune Buggy tour for us. All we had to do was sit back and follow their guidance. Their prices were also very affordable. I would highly recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to plan themselves and open to trying different experiences! More read less

Medellin & Cartegena - The gems of Colombia! I was visiting Colombia for a month and I learnt... read more about the tours offered by Visit South America. After reading some great reviews I wanted to check them out for myself so I got in touch with VSA to help me curate a custom 6-day tour in Medellin and Cartegena. Fell in love with both cities. So vibrant, historic and exotic. The tour helped me and my friends get a deeper dive into off the beaten spots and also popular ones like Comuna 13 in Medellin and the old town of Cartegena including places to eat and where to buy authentic sovenirs. Thank you to the friendly hospitality, organzied itinerary and professional service. I would def. recommend SVA for any adventures down in South America. Hit them up if you have any questions too. They are super prompt in getting back. Thank you for the memories. Until we meet again. xo 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

Great Tour with Wonderful Guides We went with Palccoyo instead of Vinicunca as it is... read more less crowded, and because every mom and pop shop in Cusco sells tours of Vinicunca and not Palccoyo. The company that is the middle man (Visit South America) is located in Orange County CA (So Cal) and are really easy to work with. They contacted the driver and the English speaking tour guide to set everything up. They help facilitate a pick up location from our hotel and a designated time. The listing on TripAdvisor says 2-8 persons per tour, but we were a little spoiled as it was just the two of us plus our driver and tour guide in a 4x4 Hyundai. The tour guide provides a cold breakfast that is disgusting at best (but still nice that they provide it) and a lunch. I recommend bringing your own snacks or food to munch on in case you do not want a burger bun with a slice of ham and cheese. Once at the mountain, you get a great view of the three Rainbow Mountains in a quick hike (30-40 minutes up and 30-40 minutes down) without the crowd that you get at Vinicunca. The tour guide provides oxygen for those who have trouble hiking at 16k+ feet. I would highly recommend this tour. Yes, it is more expansive than Vinicunca, but you get a private tour guide and driver, and less of the crowd. There was a...

I would highly recommend this tour. Yes, it is more expansive than Vinicunca, but you get a private tour guide and driver, and less of the crowd. There was a total of 20 people max on the mountain at one time when we were there. That alone was worth the extra money.

You wont be disappointed if you visit Tres Rainbow Mountain in Palccoyo through Visit South America! More read less
