    An unforgettable journey through South America An incredible 35-day experience through Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Brazil. Everything was perfectly organized: punctual transfers, professional guides and spectacular excursions. We particularly enjoyed Machu Picchu, the Salar d'Uyuni, crossing the Andean lakes, the Perito Moreno glacier and Rio de Janeiro. Impeccable logistics in every country meant we could enjoy our trip without a care in the world. Highly recommended!

    We had an absolute blast on this tour. We got to see so many incredible places in Bolivia! From the stunning salt flats of Uyuni, to the Spanish colonialism of Sucre, to the breathtaking expanse of Titicaca. Highly recommend! At every stop the guides were local, passionate, knowledgeable and dedicated to making sure it was a positive experience. Each of them went out of their way to make it special for us. Furthermore, the coordination (which is crucial for a trip of this many stops) was excellent. All transfers arrived on time, all vehicles were comfortable and modern, and even when we requested changes, the company was flexible and adapted the itinerary accordingly. We’re leaving with incredibly fond memories - thanks guys!

    Amazing tour over five countries in a short time. The jungle experience in Muyuna Amazon Lodge Peru with the guide Julio was awesome. Overall this tour was very good organized and coordinated from Aborigen Travel Buenos Aires. I was happy to booked all flights through Aborigen Travel. It was helpful to stay in contact via WhatsApp during the whole trip. Bolivians hospitality is unique, i had such a warm welcome from Alexandra and her family. I can highly recommend this tour to somebody who is in a good condition. The timetable is very demanding. The impressions from all this cities, beautiful and different landscapes, friendly and helpful poeple in Southamerica will be deep in my heart for the rest of my life.
