About us

South America, planned by people who know it

Private journeys designed by travel specialists and the local experts who live where you are going.

What you can count on

The people who plan your trip are the people you talk to while you travel.

Advice you can trust

If a route is rushed or a season is wrong, we tell you, even if it means a smaller trip.

Help on the ground

Local partners in every country, and our team a message away.

No surprises

A written quote with everything included. Nothing is booked until you say yes.

Our story

Planned by people, not by algorithms

Technology can put a trip together. Trust is built between people. That is why every journey is shaped by one of our travel specialists and by local partners in each country who know every valley, road and season first-hand.

How we plan your trip

Tell us roughly what you have in mind and we take it from there. There is no online checkout on this site: planning a trip across a continent is a conversation, not a shopping basket.

  1. Share your ideas. Your dates, the places that call you, who is travelling and the pace you enjoy. A rough idea is enough.
  2. Get a personal proposal. A suggested route, the reasons behind it and a written quote, usually within one business day.
  3. Shape it together. Slow it down, swap a hotel, add two days in the mountains. We adjust until it feels right.
  4. Travel with backup. Local partners meet you on the ground and our team stays a message away for the whole trip.
