Thank you to Sarah at Latin Routes for creating a seamless itinerary for our trip to North Argentina. Everything was thought of and well planned in advance.

Look no further if you are planning to go to South America. The trip to Chile was clockwork. The guides were excellent, and we felt really pampered in the beautiful hotels.

Sarah M. B
Stayed August 2024

Our bucket list trip to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands had been looked forward to for a very long time. We were not disappointed! The highlight of our trip, without a doubt, was our five-day eastern cruise on the beautiful yacht La Pinta.

This is an excellent company. I worked with Paul, who was very knowledgeable and patient when organising my itinerary. There is no pressure selling. Recommend them for South America trips!
