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.

Panama Rainforest On short notice, South America Tours setup a pre-cruise trip for March 1-4, 2023 in/near the Panama rainforest near Panama City, Panama. Our Norwegian cruise departed Colon, Panama on March 4. South American Tours worked with Panama Trails who picked us up at the airport gate where we received priority exit thru customs which was extremely nice and took us to our rainforest hotel and checked-in without a hitch. Panama Trails drivers picked us up each day on-time and took us to our tour each of the next two days. We toured the canal on the lake one day and using a long-canoe style boat we visited the Embera Quera tribe in the rainforest. We made arrangements and were transported to the cruise ship docks in Colon. We had a great Panama experience. We have previously used South American Vacations to coordinate our 10-day Galapagos trip and 3-week Peru trip in 2018, and highly recommend them and we will continue to use them as we recommend them to our friends and other travelers.

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.

We had a wonderful trip to Ecuador… We had a wonderful trip to Ecuador organized by Alan and Martha Cohen, SA Vacations. The local recommendations for Quito hotel (Patio Andaluz) and Amazon experiences at the Sacha Lodge and the Amazon Manatee explorer cruise were perfect for our group of 8, ages 27 to 87. The team of greeters and guides in Quito were perfect. Every connection was easy and clear. We asked to adjust our Quito day to include the botanical garden and they didn't miss a beat setting it up. They also helped us with restaurants and taxis for our free. Every connection was eased with clear guidance and help. We are very grateful to Alan and Martha and will certainly reach out to them for any future trips to South America.

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.
