Custom South America Travel

Your winter is South America's summer.

Which means the best months in Patagonia are the ones you'd normally stay home for. South America also runs on roughly the same time zones as North America, so a long flight south costs you nothing at the other end.

Why work with us

Three keys to an effortless South American journey.

From Peru's high Andes to Patagonia's glaciers and Colombia's coast, here's how we make your trip run smoothly.

Opposite Seasons

Navigating South America's distinct climate zones

Patagonia's prime window runs during the North American winter, while the Andes are driest when Patagonia closes down. The Amazon has wet and wetter seasons. We align your travel dates with the exact regions that are in peak season so you experience ideal weather.

Smart Altitude

Acclimatizing gradually for peak comfort in the Andes

Cusco sits at eleven thousand feet and La Paz is higher still. Flying straight into high elevation can ruin the first few days of a trip. We carefully route your itinerary to arrive lower in the Sacred Valley first, sleeping comfortably before ascending gradually.

Smart Transit

Managing vast distances without spending your vacation in airports

Flying from Santiago to Bogota takes longer than flying cross-country in the US, and many regional routes pass through main hubs. We craft smart itineraries with private transfers and well-planned flights so you spend your time exploring rather than waiting in terminals.

Starting points

Six South American journeys, tailored to you.

Use these regional concepts as inspiration. We'll build every detail around your preferred dates, budget, and travel pace.

Peru

Ancient Inca citadels, the Sacred Valley, and smart altitude pacing

Machu Picchu is unforgettable, but it's only one morning of a complete journey. We combine the Sacred Valley, historic Cusco, and Lima's celebrated food scene, carefully structuring your route so you acclimatize easily and enjoy every moment.

Majestic peaks, ice fields, and dramatic wilderness. Because the best Patagonia lodges book up long in advance, we secure them early and pair your trek with fine dining in Buenos Aires or Mendoza wine tasting for a complete getaway.
