Marci was great Marci was great! We wouldn't hesitate to use her again. We had an issue with our flights, and she was available at night and on the weekends to help smooth things out. All the guides were very well educated about their communities and country. Their knowledge of the history of Peru and Inca ruins was very enjoyable. All the guides were very accommodating with any request. Both of our hikes were spectacular. The day trip to Machu Picchu and the two day hike to Rainbow Mountain were challenging but experiences that will remain with us forever.

Vaya helped us plan the right trip for our needs....highly recommended! Typically, we plan all of our own vacations. In this case we didn't have the time to do the research, so we found Vaya on the internet. After a few phone conversations about what we wanted to accomplish, James K. worked with us to design our itinerary. We were pleasantly surprised at every turn with the guides, transportation and hotels he booked. Our adventure was enhanced greatly by the friendliness and experience of the people Vaya uses for these trips.

We will only use Vaya Adventures for our South American travel. There simply is no one else out there with the level of experience and knowledge of the continent!

We had an excellent trip to Patagonia-… We had an excellent trip to Patagonia- both Chile and Argentina.Marci listened carefully to what we said we were interested in and put together a trip that was very responsive to our wishes. When it started to exceed our budget, she worked with us to find ways to cut costs while still ensuring we included our main priorities. Everything worked like a charm. We had a fabulous time!
