Epic trip! Fantastic trip! Galapagos has always seemed like an unreachable destination that you only get to hear in the history books. South American Vacations turned that dream into a reality for us and with absolutely no complications or speed bumps along the way! Everything was perfectly executed - from booking us great airfare tickets for a more than reasonable price, offering a full-packed itinerary including a city tour of Quito and providing us with great accommodations for the entire trip including our hotel in Quito and the cruise line we ended up going with to the Galapagos which was a small, intimate but luxury cruse ship, but still for a fair price since the cruises in the Galapagos account for most of the cost for the trip. The cruise was clean, staff was friendly, and the excursions were nothing short of amazing. I highly recommend South American Vacations if you are planing to vacation in Ecuador/Galapagos. Thank you for an epic experience!

A bucket list trip for sure! So well organized. This was planned in 2019 then the world shut down. Martha was able to get us as many flight refunds as possible and we just kept holding on until finally both Peru and Easter Island were opened up. Not one glitch with all the flights, people to meet and multiple excursions. Everyone was very professional. Everything was planned to the smallest detail so it was a very stress free vacation. This was a bucket list for sure- no regrets. Looking to go back for Galapagos and I am sure she will have a great plan in mind for us. Thanks for making a dream come true.

Perfect trip to Patagonia This last trip to Patagonia was the fourth that South American Vacations has organized for us, and just like the previous three (Peru, Costa Rica and Ecuador) it was perfect. Every connection, every tour, every hotel and flight was perfectly coordinated. Even when we had weather related delays there was a backup plan. Above all, we always appreciate the great advice that Martha and Alan give us to organize the perfect trip. They know South America like no one else. Their suggestions are always spot on

Patagonia & Iguazu Falls Trip We recently took a trip to Patagonia & nearby towns, Iguazu Fall and Brazil and were very impressed with SA Vacations and Martha who put together the itinerary for us. Since the trip was over 3 weeks long with numerous international and internal flights and hotel stays and tours, we were concerned at first but Martha did an excellent job in organizing the trip. We were met by courteous and professional guides at various airports who drove us to our hotels and picked us up for excellent tours. Everything was executed flawlessly and we were very impressed with Martha and the company. Since this was the first time we used SA Vacations, we had lot of questions for Martha and she answered them patiently and thoroughly. We also had to make changes during the planning stage and she was able to modify the trip to fit our needs promptly, thanks to their extensive knowledge and experience on South America. SA vacations and Martha have far exceeded our expectation and we’ll definitely use the company again for our next trip to Galapagos and Amazon. We highly recommend this company!

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.
