An exciting hassle free trip While working in Chile we decided to visit Easter Island and Machu Picchu. We used SAVacations to arrange our travels.. They booked airline reservations, hotels and tours.All went according to plan. We chose 3 star hotels which were great. We were met at all airports and tour guides were always on time. We would definitely use SA Vacations again for travel to South America.

Galapogos and Rapa Nui [Easter Island] My husband and I, with a family friend, traveled to Galapogos and Rapa Nui [Easter Island], with stops in Quito and Santiago. The whole trip was absolutely remarkable! We were amazed by the wildlife and scenery in the Galapogos and enthralled with the history and ancient stones/heads on Rapa Nui [Easter Island]... and Quito and Santiago were bonus sites! I can't say enough. The trip was extremely well planned and organized. The guides were knowledgeable and from the places in which they worked - giving local perspectives. The accommodations were excellent. I don't have anything bad to say. It was just an incredible trip - a quite remarkable journey. I would highly recommend to anyone wanting to see both sites!!

Perfectly organized Chile Argentina trip Everything was perfectly organized and customized to our interests. The hotels were great. All of the transport drivers & guides were on time and knowledgeable. We flew into Santiago, Chile where we did a city tour, winery visit at Concha y Toro, Maipo Valley hot springs. Next we went to Patagonia hiking in Torres del Paine national park. Then, we cruised from Punta Arenas to Ushuaia through Tierra del Fuego/ Patagonia. We finished in Buenos Aires.. Martha and Alan gave us great advice as to sites, neighborhoods, how far in advance to arrive at different airports (Buenos Aires super inefficient airport where you need hours upon hours!) restaurants, packing for multiple climates etc. Fantastic. They organized trips to Peru (Lima, Cuzco, Machu Picchu, Arequipa, Colca Valle), Ecuador (Galapagos, Rainforest Lodge, Cotopaxi, Quito) and Costa Rica (San Jose, Tortuguera, Arenal, Monte Verde, Manuel Antonio). They are truly South & Central American experts.

Three chances at the perfect trip With the assistance of South American Vacations, I planned a special trip to the Galapagos and Machu Picchu with my son for his senior year in high school. Unfortunately, the trip was planned for March 2020, just as the world closed down for the Covid pandemic. Alan and Martha were unbelievably helpful. They got us refunds for what was refundable and got us credits for what was not. Two years later, in the spring of 2022, they graciously rebooked the Machu Picchu portion for us, but we had decided to abandon the idea of post-pandemic cruising. They found a way for my daughter and a friend to use our credit to visit the Galapagos islands. Once again, for the Spring of 2023, they rose to the occasion and planned the perfect trip for them. In all, they planned THREE vacations for us, and never asked for an extra dime. I cannot thank them enough. What grace, generosity of spirit and ingenuity! I cannot recommend them strongly enough!!

Travel Advisor Opinion I am a travel advisor who booked two clients for a Peru, Chile, & Easter Island trip in September. I had not used them before but they had been recommended by several colleagues who had high praises for the company. My clients had an amazing time and all went smoothly thanks to Martha and Alan who took care of some date adjustments due to Covid and several major airline schedule changes. I found that they were the absolute best at getting back to me right away with the many questions I had. Martha worked tirelessly on this reservation and I am so thankful that I booked this trip with South America Vacations. I will continue to work with them for all future So. American vacations!
