11-Day South America Tour from La Paz·Sucre, Potosí, Uyuni, Salt Flats, Santiago | Max 16 Pax

This was a very memorable South America experience. The Uyuni Salt Flats were the clear highlight, but I also loved the cultural depth in Bolivia’s historic cities. The itinerary felt well balanced between guided activities and personal time. Booking was straightforward and the trip delivered great value overall.

18-Day Andes, Iguassu & Beyond Tour from Santiago·Valparaíso, Pucón, Buenos Aires, Foz do Iguaçu, Paraty

A fantastic route covering so many iconic destinations. Getting active in Pucón with optional outdoor activities added a fun adventurous element. The estancia experience in Argentina was a highlight and gave real insight into local ranch life. Buenos Aires brought amazing energy to the trip. Everything was well coordinated from start to finish.

10-Day Chile and Argentina Tour from Santiago to Buenos Aires · Isla Negra, Bariloche, Puerto Blest, Barrio Bellavista

WHAT a trip! Chilean wine landscapes, Santiago city sprawl, then Buenos Aires tango nights — total bucket list hit. Some days were long, but walks, sights, and local eats made it soooo worth it. Never felt rushed tho, and group size was just right. If you wanna see two awesome countries in 10 days, do this!
