Peru to highlight of Machu pichu - Hi, I can highly recommend dealing with Rob with regard to planning a trip to south America. From the start we were not fully sure of what kind of... read more a trip we really wanted. Rob was patient and gave us lots of options over a two week period before we nailed down what would work for us.
We went to Peru with a highlight of Machu pichu. We didn't suffer from any altitude sickness at all. Our guides said this was because of the way the trip was planned letting us acclimatize gradually through the way our altitude was gaining as we went from city to city.
Our guides and hotels were excellent. All guides picked us up on time and they were extremely friendly.
Regards to our internal flights it was made so easy with the guides bringing us into the airport with our luggage and practically putting us on the plane.
If I go to south America again it will definitely be with Robs help.
Cheers Kenneth

A trip of a lifetime put together by the best tour company in South America!! - Gary and Escaped to Latin America travel helped create a trip of a lifetime. We have been working on a multi city, multi country 18-day trip to celebrate a milestone... read more birthday. Gary was great to work with. We started our conversations with Gary in the spring of 2025 for our January 2026 trip. He was patient with us and gave us really good advice - from where to stay, how to divide up our trip, what places to stay, etc. Gary Nailed it! We couldn't be happier. The guides he selected for us were spot on. We didn't feel like we were being shown areas by a tour guide. We felt like we were being shown the best of Argentina and Chile by a friend of a friend.
We have been on many trips around the globe. Gary and Escaped travel ranks right up there at the top. We will be telling all of our friends back home to connect with Gary!
Thank you, Gary!!!
