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

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...

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

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

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!)

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

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

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

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

All in all a great experience! 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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Just Go & Experience it for yourself ! read less

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

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

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

Hilton was very helpful, he was punctual and very reliable. I went there with my husband and best friend. We all had such a fantastic time and we are planning another trip back to South America. Everything about the trip was top-notch including: hotel accommodations, transportation, guide quality, and food. Thank you guys! It was an amazing trip and we can’t wait to go back! More read less

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 .

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

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.

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

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

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 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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And there isn’t much else to do in Aguas Calientes. We weren’t given an option for what time our train ticket back would be at. Just a heads up!

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

Overall, I would highly suggest going with VSA! We had an amazing 4 days. More read less

Tres Rainbows and Humanatay Lake tours This tour company went above and beyond! While booking they... read more answered all our questions and were extremely helpful while we planned our trip to Peru! Sofia was extremely flexible as we changed travel plans!

The first tour we did was Tres Rainbows and I am so glad we did this tour instead of the full rainbow mountain. Tres Rainbows was less crowded, had many photo spots and came with a Alpaca that you could take photos with! Our tour guide was Noah and he spoke perfect English and even offered to bring his camera so we could have quality photos! The hike was only about thirty minutes and the views were stunning!

The second tour was Humanatay lake which was equally amazing! It was a harder hike but Noah was patient and made sure we could take breaks as needed. He even had a heart rate monitor and oxygen sensor so we could check our stats. We got up very early for the tour but it was worth it because we were one of the first tour groups there! That meant amazing photos without herds of tourists.

Both tours came equipped with a private van, lunch at amazing local restaurants and a wonder tour guide! 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

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

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. Can't wait to do some more exploring with the Visit South America crew! 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

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
