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!

Simply an unreal experience, highly recommend! 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

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

Private Sacred Valley Tour Good vibes, good times. The guys at VSA really went... read more all out to provide us with an unforgettable experience in the sacred valley.

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

Sacred Valley tour This tour, along with our Tres Rainbows hike with Visit... read more South America were the highlights of our vacation to Peru. We had Noah for our guide on the Sacred Valley tour and he was so knowledgeable, personable and entertaining. He also took some great photos! He knew where to go at each location to avoid crowds and get the best views of the sites. After the tour when they dropped us off at our hotel, Noah gave us a dinner recommendation in Cusco and it was the best meal we had our entire week in Peru. We definitely recommend Visit South America for making your Peru vacation memorable! read less

3 Day Uyuni Tour Our group had an incredible time on the 3-day Uyuni... read more tour. Jeff was amazing at staying in contact with us before we went, and since we were going in the rainy season, made sure that we were aware of all the potential risks beforehand. We added another person to our group last minute and they quickly accommodated for this. Because of passenger restrictions at Uyuni for this time of year, it meant we could no longer have an English guide, which VSA refunded us for. It was alright as almost everyone in our group could understand Spanish. Our driver Wilson was an incredible driver and guide, he was a huge help in getting some amazing photos and videos, and very safe. 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! Tips: - Pack a roll of toilet paper, almost no bathroom in Bolivia provides you with free toilet paper - Bring a few snacks.

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

Amazing Sacred Valley Tour We enjoyed so much our time in every place that... read more the VSA team prepared for us! Every little detail was perfectly plan and at the same time we felt free to enjoy the trip in our own pace. Hilton, the founder, was amazing, helped us taking greaaat and unique pictures and make us feel super confortable. Couldn’t ask more from this trip! Thank you guys! 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

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

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 !!!

You´re a great guide !!! More 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.

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

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

Custom 8 day tour We used VSA for a custom 8 days in Peru!... read more I’d HIGHLY recommend using this company. They planned every little detail of our trip and didn’t miss a thing.

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

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!)

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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!

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!

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 entirely out of this world. 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 experience ever I have never really been out of the country before..... read more and i couldn’t have asked for a better experience going to Peru as my first trip! The entire tour and experience was so much fun, i saw so many new things and learned so much about the culture. Every great day paired with great food and great Pisco and a great adventure. Thank you VSA for showing us what real adventure is all about! 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

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

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

For Salkantay Trek 4D only Overall our experience with Visit South America was great, so... read more great that I am starting my review that way. Our contact Hilton was available through text/phone for questions during our trip planning and even during our trip. Everything was great until the day before our trek. We were not aware that Visit South America contracts another company (Salkantay Trekking) for the trek. We arrived for the orientation and met our tour guide Andre (unfortunately I do not know his last name) and pretty soon we perceived him to be bothered by our questions. The pick up for the trek would be around 4am the next morning. Unfortunately, through no fault of anyone's I woke up very nauseas and vomitted less than an hour into the bus ride to the start of the trek. At that point I suspected I had food poisioning, Once we reached the starting point I then began experiencing diarrhea. I advised both Andre and Jordy (the other guide) about my symptoms and they did not provide any advice or alternatives for me at that point. To summarize I proceeded to hike for about five hours until we reached the campsite and continued to vomit. I am a strong person and honestly felt like I was dying. Andre made comments to me indicating that it was all attitude which felt incredibly condescending and offensive. I was not offered a horse or medical attention even as I was...

Andre made comments to me indicating that it was all attitude which felt incredibly condescending and offensive. I was not offered a horse or medical attention even as I was vomitting and falling along the way. Andre's recommendation was that I continue with the trek, knowing that the second day would be the most challenging. At this point I was severely dehydrated and altitude sickness kicked in. Finally, that evening Andre mentioned the option to see a doctor but was not enthusiastic about this option. I ultimately decided to return back to Cusco the next day and saw a doctor who had been at the camp the whole time in the morning who basically said I was so dehydrated and my oxygen levels were so low that I should go straight to a clinic. No doubt this trek is challenging, but I feel that the guides were nothing short of negligent. Visit South America helped us as much as they could and offered transportation back but we did have to pay for our own train ride to Machu Picchu which thankfully I was better for and was able to see. Again this review is mostly for Andre from Salkanty Trekking Company. I'm all into spirituality and mental strength but there comes a time when you need medical attention and that is where they failed. 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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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 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.

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

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

Amazing tour and guide! My boyfriend, his sister and I spent 10 days in... read more Peru. We chose VSA for their 2 day Machu Picchu tour and it was beyond amazing. It was very organized from start to finish. They have very small group sizes so you never feel overwhelmed. Our tour guide, Noah, was unbelievable! He was genuinely passionate about history and answered all of our questions with ease. (And we had a lot!) I would 100% recommend this tour and this company! It completely exceeded our expectations. read less

12 days in Peru I want to thank Visit South America team for making... read more our trip unforgettable. We would have never been able to plan every detail day by day with out you all. We did everything we planned on and it's thanks to you guys. Hilton, Sophia, William, Edgar, Javier, Joel, Noah, etc... you all are amazing! Thanks for taking the time to give us tips, explain the Peruvian history, and give us your undivided attention. We really felt like the tours were VIP. Our stay at each hotel was also wonderful. We have no complaints! God bless you all!!thank you all again!!!! read less

Peru 2019! This summer my friends(family) and I embarked on an adventure... read more with VisitSouthAmerica. 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

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...

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

Must-visit in Peru! I decided to go on this tour instead of the... read more traditional Rainbow Mountain tour and I'm so glad I did!

I got to experience 3 different rainbow mountains and some of the most stunning views in Peru.

The drive is 4 hours, but the trek to reach the very top viewpoint is only 20-minutes. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Peru.

The tour also includes a really nice breakfast and lunch. The drive is really scenic and we saw so many Alpacas on the way! read less

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

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.

Humantay Lake We loved our Humantay lake tour! Noah our guide was... read more awesome, it was an early start (3.30am) but it was so worth it. First ones at the lake and we loved listening to Noah’s knowledge during the hike. Also so lucky with the meals included :) 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 selection of hotels was absolutely spot on and we felt pampered wherever we stayed. In particular, we absolutely loved the two hotels we stayed at in Cusco (Palacio de Inca and the Libertador). 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

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

You won’t regret it! 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

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. We had Alberto as a guide for the 2-day Inca Trail hike (Machu Picchu), and have similar feedback for him – amazing!

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!

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

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
