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

Absolutely Amazing! My wife and I were very impressed with the Visit... read more South America team! I highly recommend booking your trip with them. We will again. VSA went above-and-beyond to answer our questions and help us. Very responsive, quick communication. They streamlined everything without the feel of a massive, corporate tour company. The experience felt very authentic. We went to Peru and Bolivia. Noah was our guide in Peru and Jeff was our guide in Bolivia, with Hilton always available. We could text/call/email them at any time with questions or changes to the plan - they responded quickly and always helped. It made us feel much more comfortable on our first trip to South America and we had a blast! Seriously, if you're unsure about going with VSA, just do it! You will be pleased. read less

One in a lifetime experience! I'll start by saying that I wasn't always the guy... read more ready for the next adventure. But you reach in a point in life where NY is kind of the same after a few visits or the Hollywood sign is just a sign. I did the whole Peru-Bolivia and couldn't be happier, each city felt new.

The VSA crew, arranged everything wich honestly was a deal breaker, everywhere you go there's people offering tours, and it's often that I hear i went sideways. I got to every location before everyone else, and took awesome pictures. Hands down one of the best tour agency to book your trip with. read less

Amazing Experience at Laguna Paron The team at Visit South America were able to provide... read more a private overnight experience at this beautiful lake. They set us up with all the gear we needed to camp and picked us up from our hotel right on time. Communication was quick and concise.

Couldn't have done it without them! Without the amazing support and help from Visit South America,... read more the Huaraz portion of my trip would NOT have been possible! My friends and I were dealing directing with Hilton and he helped us create our itinerary for Huaraz and set us up with tour guides for some amazing treks!

My friends and I went to Laguna Churup, Lago Paron, and did the 7-day Huayhuash Circuit with Visit South America. 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.

If you are going to Peru I 10/10 recommend you to organize your tours and itinerary through Visit South America! I guarantee you will have some of the best experiences of your life on an adventure with VSA and will come out with lifelong friends! read less

Wonderful Perú with súper VSA We Always had the dream to arrange a great journey... read more in Peru discovering some of the huge attractions the country can offer and We decided to do it with VSA.

It has been an excellent choice . VSA organized a perfect trip for us following our indications .

We had very professional guides taking us to Vinicunca , Machu Pichu , urus island on Titicaca lake, and Ica .

We are used to arrange the trip by ourselves but this time We enjoyed and appreciated having everything organized .

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

Millpu Lagoon Tour We decided to book through visit South America because some... read more friends recommended it to myself and my girlfriend.

We really wanted to do Millpu Lagoon near Ayacucho and the tour said it would include, transportation, a guide, and food (lunch +snacks) in the included price.

The guide and driver picked us up super early from Cusco and drove 3 hours to get to the lagoon. They were super awesome and professional, but was surprised to pay for our lunch and snacks but anyways, we made our way to the lagoon and got there before any other tours (which was a huge plus).

We would recommend this tour to our friends or family! But I would suggest making sure that the food is included in the tour!

I would personally book through visit South America again. read less

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

In love with Peru thanks to Visit South America! Hands down the best travel agency in South America!

I had... read more the pleasure to travel with Visit South America through Peru and Bolivia. Their tours are simply amazing! They will take good care of you in terms of your accommodations and trips planned throughout Peru and Bolivia. The best part are the tour guides, they are all super friendly and speak perfect english. They are great in planning a different experience than any other tours. You arrive before crowds and you get those amazing solo photos that you always want!

Highly recommend booking your tour with Visit South America. You won't be disappointed! ....and just like me you will only want more of South America! 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.

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.

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 amazing Rainbow Mountain This was one of my best experiences during my trip... read more to Peru. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to make it, because all of the things that I read about the altitude, but Mike made sure that I felt safe and was really helpful and paciente. We were the first ones getting to the top, and it was amazing standing up there without all the tourists and being able to appreciate all the views.

It is so beautiful and it is worth every step. 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. read less

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.

The trek was a great time and a great value. Thanks so much!

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

The best two days of our trip We booked the Tour to Humantay Lake and the Rainbow... read more Mountains. Our Tourguide was Noé. We had other tours before, but booked with another agency. On every of those trips there were problems. But not on the VSA-Tours. We got picked up exaclty at the agreed time. The trip included a good breakfast and a excellent lunch at both days. The best about VSA is the time of arrival. We got picked up quite early so we could be the first at the mountaintops. It was perfect to explore the landscape and enjoy this unique view.

At both days we saw dozens of people climbing up to the tops where we´ve alredy been. They couldnt enjoy it as much as we did.

Noé was a great gudie ! We were lucky because we´ve been the only guests that booked the trips on these days so we had our private guide. He knew a lot about the history, the environment and the country so it was very intresting to talk to him. Also he was really taking care of our needs. He arranged us horses to ride to the top, because the hike was quite demanding for us.

We really had the two best days of our whole trip. Thanks VSA and thanks Noé !!!

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

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

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

Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, and Rainbow Mountain Private Tour My Boyfriend and I decided to use VSA to our... read more Peru trip after following their Instagram page, and this was the best decision we made. Their service was nothing less than espectacular. From the beginning Hilton help us with our custom tour and gave us genuine input and different options to build the best package within our budget. 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

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

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

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 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

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. They were both great people and we enjoyed their insight and knowledge around the Incan civilization. For days 3 and 4, we had Noah as our guide and Edgar 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. When booking the trip, Hilton (The founder of Visit SA) and Sophia were very responsive and helped with our itinerary. Our trip was without any problems. The nice part of Visit SA is we moved up the departure time for both of our hikes by an hour only ~12 hours before leaving in order to beat the bad weather and crowds. We were within the first 12-20 people on Machu Picchu, Laguna Humantay, and Rainbow Mountain. We were blessed with good weather (due to early departure) all three days.

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

Amazing experience with amazing people I have to say that the Visit South America crew... read more are amazing at what they do. From start to finish we never had to worry about where we were going to stay that day or how we were getting there. They also gave all of us plenty of options and room to explore on our own. To top it off they had some great guides with tons of knowledge for the sites like Machu Pichu and Rainbow Mountain. When you throw in all of the amazing people we shared our experiences with and it was definitely a trip we will never forget.

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

Looking forward to visiting the rest of South America with these guys. Thank you VSA! read less

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. read less

The trek was a great time and a great value. Thanks so much!

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!)

Great Experience Wed booked the Tres Rainbows Day Tour with Jacob, and... read more could not have asked for a better tour guide! We loved talking to him about everything Cusco and Peru, and loved getting information about the different minerals which creates the beautiful scenery, and also the surrounding mountain ranges. Afterwards we pulled over and had a great lunch picnic style!

We really enjoyed this trek as we were told that the popular Rainbow Mountain is pretty difficult. We were able to see everything that you get to see on the popular one, but it was much less crowded and pretty simple.

Sophia was great to work with on the administrative side of things, and was on top of everything with suggestions on what to do. Couldn't have asked for a better tour! 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

Amazing Experience at Laguna Paron The team at Visit South America were able to provide... read more a private overnight experience at this beautiful lake. They set us up with all the gear we needed to camp and picked us up from our hotel right on time. Communication was quick and concise. The team was super responsive in helping us understand what was around the area. The lake itself is stunning; we went for sunset and woke up early for sunrise, both totally worth it. I'd do this trip again in a heartbeat and would recommend VSA to anyone looking for a great outdoors experience in Huaraz! read less

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

Wonderful Perú with súper VSA We Always had the dream to arrange a great journey... read more in Peru discovering some of the huge attractions the country can offer and We decided to do it with VSA.

It has been an excellent choice . VSA organized a perfect trip for us following our indications .

We are used to arrange the trip by ourselves but this time We enjoyed and appreciated having everything organized .

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

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

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...

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 make the early morning so worth it. We could not say enough good things about this company and we certainly plan to use them again for return trips to South America in the future. Thanks again VSA! - Lauren, Emily, Hannah & Mary More read less

Great service, amazing experience We did the 2d Inca Trail. Hilton was available every... read more minute and reachable by whatsapp. Noah and Alberto were our guides, very professionals, studied and passionated about their culture. The VSA staff shared with us recommendations to go to raimbow mountain and the musts in Sacred Valley. Terrific service.

Thanks to the VSA team. We enjoyed too much our experience. 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

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

Best days with these guys I have to say going to Machu Picchu was one... read more of the most impulsive and incredible decisions I’ve ever made. I couldn’t be happier with my trip. The guides are hands down some of the best and most knowledgeable I’be ever had the pleasure to meet. They took care of everything with a very professional approach. They show us all the hot spots to the place and get real insider information. 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. The man took the time to help orient me to my tour and started me off on what I needed to know to prepare for the 4 days. It was refreshing to know that while he's busy working in another country, he took the time to speak to me over WhatsApp to welcome me! 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
