I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Peru with Southern Explorations, and it was truly unforgettable. Hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu had always been a dream of mine, and I couldn’t have chosen a better company to make it a reality.

During our trip, we also explored several towns across Peru and enjoyed amazing adventures, including biking through the Sacred Valley and climbing the Via Ferrata. The guides were exceptionally experienced, knowledgeable, and provided outstanding service every step of the way.

Every aspect of the tour—from accommodations and transportation to meals and activities—was meticulously planned and executed to perfection. I highly recommend Southern Explorations to anyone seeking a seamless and unforgettable travel experience. I’m already looking forward to planning my next South American adventure with them!

We had the privilege to hike the Inca Trail and I have to say it was one of the most remarkable travel experience we ever had. The Southern Explorations team has been absolutely amazing. From organizing to handling the whole trip, everything has been professional and seamless. They have prepared us well, the communication was easy and the trek itself was beautiful and organized in such detail. It's an amazing experience and the food was so good! The whole staff, helping us on the trail, the team guiding us and the team behind the scenes organizing everything were wonderful and we can highly recommend them!

An incredible experience touring Peru with Southern Explorations and would definitely go with them again. We did the Active Machu Picchu tour and was an experience of a lifetime! From exploring Cusco to climbing cliffs (Via Ferrata), downhill mtn biking and entering Machu Picchu after days of hiking and exploring the Inca Trail. All these legs of the tour were an unbelievable experience! Thank you Southern Explorations

The trecking I did out of El Chalten and the experience of the Moreno glacier are unlike any places I’ve been. They were the big WOW! Of my trip. Southern Explorations took care of all the logistics that made for smooth transitions to and from the airport and between El Calafate and El Chalten. Perfect as they say in Argentina.

Hiking the Inca trail, visiting Machu Pichu and the Sacred Valley was a once in a lifetime experience that was made truly unforgettable by the Southern Explorations team! Every detail was perfectly curated from beginning to end and can't thank them enough for their professionalism but also making the trip full of laughter and adventure. I still can't believe how we ate delicious 3 course meals the way we did along the trail!!! and here I was thinking that I was going to be stuck eating protein bars! Muchos Gracias Southern Explorations, we'll be calling on you for our next planned adventure.

Southern Explorations has been there for us on multiple trips to South and Central America. On this last trip to Ecuador, we hadn't made any plans but while there, Marisa was able to put together a package for both the Amazon and Galapagos - very last minute (I think she was able to put a tour together for us in 3 days for the Galapagos)! Every driver, guide and support staff were professional and knowledgeable as well as delightful to get to know. Can't thank Southern Explorations enough for a wonderful trip.

For over 15 years I have traveled with Southern Explorations on multiple trips with friends and family and each experience has been nothing short of extraordinary. From the Galapagos Islands, Peru and Argentina to Patagonia and beyond, every itinerary was impeccably organized, with thoughtful attention to detail and a perfect balance of adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion.
Southern Explorations has become my go-to for adventure travel after several unforgettable trips with them. Their expertise and personalized service make every journey seamless and enriching. From the moment I book, I know I’m in good hands—their team takes care of every detail, allowing me to fully enjoy the experience. Amazing company!
