Discover Hidden Gems
You Can’t Find On Your Own
All of the guides were incredible. Augusto, Ruben, and Patricia are the best guides I have ever worked with from any country. On a scale of 1-to-10, it was a 15! It was a life changing trip for me.
The guides… were incredible, beyond our expectations, spoke English perfectly and their explanations and stories were not only educational but gave us the opportunity to better understand the Peruvian’s way of life, their concerns, thoughts and dreams.
What stood out the most was how they made us feel like part of the local community. They introduced us to hidden gems, unique customs, and experiences we never would have discovered on our own. Their personal stories and connections to the places we visited added a profound depth to our trip.
Thank you so much for putting together such a wonderful experience. You made my dreams of a visit to the Galapagos a reality. It was more amazing than I ever imagined. I look forward to another Llama Expeditions vacation.
I did the 2 week Patagonia trip. Llama Expeditions is a great way to travel for those who want to do a trip with friends or family and don’t want to have to worry about the enormous task or coordinating/planning an international adventure. Diane will take care of all of that for you. She will coordinate with local experts to find unique activities that you would never find on your own.
Before the trip, we were ambivalent about a guided tour, but found that the guides really smoothed the way for us to get to places quickly and focus on the most important sites and events. If you can get our guides for future groups, do so – they really made the trip great!
Great cultural experiences in Patagonia with our tour! Learning about the indigenous people and their history as well as the European settlers was a wonderful experience. Enjoyed hiking and other activities, but the cultural and unique dining experiences set this apart from the typical hiking tour. We felt like we experienced the real deal in Chile!
It was the most educational and wonderful trip of my life. It far exceeded my expectations and I have been telling everyone they need to travel to Peru with Llama Expeditions.
Wow. This trip has been truly life changing for me. Thank you so much for crafting such an excellent taste of the Galapagos. This experience and you have been so inspirational to me. I am so grateful to have shared this experience with you.
