Top Rated Vacation to the bottom of the world. Our trip to Antarctica was the greatest adventure. South America Vacation made sure from start to finish that we would be helped at each stopover. The travel to our final destination was enhanced by setting up mini tours at each location and pickup and stop off at the airport. The expedition ship was the best way to see as much as possible Antarctica close up and often. With two excursions on land a day we were able to see wildlife and landscape up close. The staff on the ship was devoted to us having a good experience. The daily seminars, gourmet meals, and personal support was made possible by the smaller ship experience. They treated us like family. Definitely a first rate vacation made possible by Alan and Martha of South American Vacations.

Our Travel agency has recently used South American Vacations Our Travel agency has recently used South American Vacations 3 times for our clients who have wanted a dream vacation. Each trip was different and seemed complicated to put together but Alan and Martha had no problem designing a perfect itinerary. Flights, hotels, tours, transfers and guides were all perfectly planned. Each client raved about their trip. I would definitely recommend this company if you are looking for repeat clients!! It's a win win!! Joni Cohen ECCS/LCS

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!!

Argentina 11 day tour We booked the Argentina-Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Bariloche in 11 days vacation. Everything went smoothly and we had a wonderful time. All of the guides and airport transfers were on time and friendly. Many of the guides gave helpful travel information for the areas we were visiting, I.e. where to shop, where to eat, where we could exchange money. Alan and Martha Cohen had all of the details planned perfectly so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy our lovely vacation. We definitely recommend this company.

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.
