Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Brazil Travel Review: Galapagos, Machu Picchu, Mendoza, Iguazu Falls, 5 Weeks

Zicasso’s travel specialist planned the perfect trip for four people. He listened to our requests during the planning phase and incorporated everything we wanted, while also suggesting many fantastic activities that made our trip incredible. We were traveling for five weeks and didn't even have one problem. Every guide, hotel, and flight the travel company booked was great. We couldn't be happier with the amazing trip he put together for us and we appreciate his expertise so much! I absolutely recommend the travel company for anyone looking at a trip to this amazing part of the world.

Peru Trip Review: Amazon, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Cusco, 6 Nights

Our trip to Peru was truly a dream come true, and I can’t say enough great things about Zicasso's travel specialist. From start to finish, everything went incredibly smoothly. Communication was excellent before and during the trip, and we always had a guide and driver ready—punctual, professional, and friendly—every step of the way.

Every hotel and lodge we stayed in was fantastic, and the excursions were perfectly planned to give us an authentic, unforgettable experience. Whether we were exploring the Amazon, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, or Cusco, everything was handled seamlessly.

This was easily one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had (and this is my 19th country), and I would recommend this company to anyone looking to explore Peru. They took care of every detail so we could just enjoy the adventure.
