Peaks, jungle, and ancient trails
South America is the continent that does everything at once. Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail, the Amazon, Patagonia's wild peaks, the Galápagos and its fearless wildlife, Rio and Buenos Aires for the cities. The range is the draw and the challenge both, because stitching those together takes real planning. That's where I come in. We talk through what you want, I build the route and the timing so it flows, and I handle the bookings so you spend your trip in the mountains and the jungle, not on logistics.
What I Plan Here
Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, the Inca Trail if you want to earn the view on foot. Peru is a highlight of any South America trip, and the permits and timing matter more than people expect. I lock those down early so the experience lives up to everything you've heard about it.
Trek the rainforest, cruise a river deep into the green, spot wildlife you've only seen in documentaries. The Galápagos for creatures with no fear of people, Patagonia and Torres del Paine for raw country. I match the wild experience to your group and your nerve, then book the right lodge or sailing.
Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires, Santiago. The cities here have a rhythm worth a few days each. I build them into the trip so you get the energy and the food and the nightlife alongside the wilderness, and I time it so the urban days land where they make the most sense in your route.
Flights between countries, the documents, the altitude days you should plan around, the in-country transfers that first-timers underestimate. South America is vast and the moving parts add up. I keep them straight so a missed connection or a forgotten visa never costs you a day of the trip.
Why Not Just Book Online
You're probably wondering whether an advisor actually saves you anything. Fair question. The honest comparison, every moment of the trip: you with a booking site, versus you with me in your corner. The cheap booking is the expensive one when the trip goes sideways.
One thing I'll always be up front about: there may be a planning fee for my time and expertise. The commission is already in the cost of the resort or cruise price, whether you use me or not. The cruise line or resort just keeps my portion if you book directly, and they give you no extra guidance or help. I work for you, not the cruise line or the resort. I will always have your best interests in mind, and everything is customized specifically to you. Have questions, need more information, have concerns? I'm here to help with all of it! Many of the upgrades and money I help you save, more than covers my planning fee too, and you get my expertise and help every step of the way. Booking online, you get the same base price, none of the perks, and no one in your corner when something breaks.

One call. I already know the resort, the ship, the right month, the right room class. I send 1–2 vetted options.
