Just give Vaya even a rough idea of what you want and they will work with you to create a fabulous trip. We had a general idea of going to Patagonia, a rough idea of what we wanted to spend and how long we could be gone, but not many details. At the end of several back and forths, we had planned a terrific trip -- and the reality was superb. We booked our own flights to and from South America, but they arranged EVERYTHING else - internal flights, transfers, hotels, many of the meals, and excellent guides. It couldn't have been better. 5 Stars..

An excellent journey!
My wife and I have traveled extensively throughout the world, usually on our own, but on occasion through a travel agency. This trip, which included our family of 10, was by far the best ever! It was beautifully organized, and their selections of where to stay and what to do were excellent. We would recommend it highly.

Outstanding service and knowledge.
Vaya organized a terrific trip for my wife and me to Peru, then to the Patagonian part of Argentina and Chile. Gabrielle, who coordinated the effort, was patient and responsive. She listened to what we wanted (and didn't want), helped us figure out the places we'd enjoy the most, arranged terrific local guides, and was there on the phone to figure out with us how to adjust our plans when our plane got delayed then diverted en route from Lima to Buenos Aires. Vaya's local contacts, knowledge and personal service are outstanding. I recommend them unconditionally.

Vaya is Superb!
Vaya is a superb travel agency for South America. Their attention to details, personal attention and genuine care for their clients was evident each and every day of our trip. We had a lost piece of luggage, due to the airline, that was located and delivered just in time for our cruise. Without Vaya's help, the luggage would have never made it. Our experience in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands was magically thanks to Vaya.
