Visit South AmericaReviews of visitsouthamerica.co

The tour was good and the tour guide really awesome but the hotels where very basic and one didn’t even had soap on the bathrooms. I wonder how the kitchen stuff upholds basic hygiene, no wonder I got food poisoning on the tour.

The booking and sharing information online pre booking is great; However for the price, what was communicated, the experience on ground it was average . The 2 local drivers on ground were really nice and having just them as guides would have been good. We chose an English guide and a photographer for some fun shots if possible. 1. We were told , we would get an early check in and breakfast included the night before we left and once when we arrive . However at the hotel we were told no early check in and we paid for breakfast for the first day. The person chatting with us didn't check if we paid or not. ( again communication vs what happened on ground was different ) 2. We booked a 2 Day tour . On the second day after we checked out we were told that the tour ends at 4 as the two drivers had to rush to pick up new clients. There was almost an abrupt end to our trip. 3. If planned better or there was more communication , we could have easily had the sunset trip that we paid additionally for , on the second day instead of the first which was a really windy day. 4. Uyuni salt flats day 1 was great despite being windy. However when asked on chat about the star gazing , we were told book the sunset tour in addition. Which we did, however the experimve on ground was more like a check list to be covered. No thought of our request to star gaze or that we had a 3 year old who wouldn't enjoy the windy day and make a recommendation to shift the sunset experience to the next day. In fact the suggestion made by the guide on ground , was to do it at 3 am at a further additional price. 5. Day 2 we chose to do the Lagoons with flamingos and hot water baths. But it seemed the trip was rushed and we were really far away from the lagoons. We were not allowed to hike closer . 6. The food provided was good and the 3 star hotel jar dines was really nice. Over all we had an average experience.

Sans aucun doute, une très bonne option!! J'ai voyagé plusieurs fois avec Visit South America et je suis plus que satisfait de l'excellente organisation. Un grand merci à Sofia et Jeff qui m'ont aidé lors de mes voyages à La Paz, Uyuni, Cusco et Lima. Tout s'est très bien passé et je les recommande vivement pour vos voyages. Maintenant, je suis prêt pour ma prochaine aventure en Patagonie avec eux!

Had an excellent experience with visit South America in both Salar de Uyuni and northern Chile! We were looking a a tailored travel experience which required a fair amount of planning and they definitely delivered! Great communication and fully understood our requests without fail. 100% will be planning my next South America trip with them!

Gorgeous landscape and save driver The landscape around Uyuni and the vulcanos, geysirs and lagunes are stunning and definitely worth a visit. We had a shared tour with 2 other visitors, a driver and a guide. The car war in reasonable condition, we were always supplied with fresh and tasty meals. Our driver was driving carefully and safe, was always friendly and very motivated. Great! The reason for 3 out of 5 stars is mostly the absolutely terrible hotel in Chalviri. The Hotel Ecologico de Piedra is by far the worst place that we ever visited. The rooms very molded, that it took your breath. It was really disgusting! Keep in mind that this hotel is located in a desert and it seems to be quite tricky to even get a room to mold there. The bathroom seemed like a torture jail in Afghanistan and there was just not possibility to lock your room because first they would not want to give us key as they said there weren't any. When we pointed out that there are several keys for rooms at the counter they mentioned that the look sometimes does not work - this was actually the case. When you pressed the handle firmly enough the door would open if locked or not. Please, visitsouthamerica, this Hotel is really a huge drawback and we very, very unhappy about it as we paid extra for having private rooms. This is totally unacceptable and I cannot recommend anyone to book tours with stops in sh*thole hotel. To be clear: I do not blame our driver or guide for this but more the organization. Our driver and guide did their best to get us an as possible good experience.

Some friends from Canada came to visit, and we spent 4 days exploring La Paz and Uyuni with Visit South America. Sofia was incredibly helpful, providing quick responses and assistance throughout the entire trip. Highly recommended!

My partner and I just got back from an unforgettable 5-day adventure to Machu Picchu and Cusco with Visit South America, and we are STILL talking about it! From the moment we landed in Cusco, everything was handled so smoothly. The team was super friendly and took care of every detail, so we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Cusco itself blew us away—the cobblestone streets, ancient history around every corner, and the FOOD! But the real highlight was, of course, Machu Picchu. We hiked up to Huayna Picchu (which was SO worth it), and the views were insane. It felt surreal to be there, and our guide made it even better by sharing so much history and insight. If you’re considering this trip, do it! Visit South America made the whole experience seamless, stress-free, and totally unforgettable. It was the perfect mix of adventure and romance.

I decided to surprise my family with a trip to Uyuni, and it turned out to be one of the best decisions I’ve ever made! We booked through Visit South America, and from start to finish, they went above and beyond to make the trip unforgettable for all of us. Seeing the Uyuni Salt Flats in person is something you just have to experience. We were blown away by the endless, surreal landscapes—especially at sunset when the sky reflected perfectly off the water. It felt like we were standing on the edge of the world. My parents were in awe, and even my younger siblings couldn’t stop taking photos! What really made the trip special was the attention to detail from Visit South America. Our guide was not only knowledgeable but also super friendly, making sure everyone—from my dad to my little brother—had an amazing time. We stayed in this amazing hotel made of salt (yes, salt!), which was an experience in itself. If you’re thinking about taking your family on an adventure, I highly recommend Uyuni and Visit South America. It was the perfect mix of adventure, family bonding, and jaw-dropping sights. Honestly, I think we’re going to be talking about this trip at family dinners for YEARS to come.
