  Snorkeling in the salty, warm Galapas Islands was an amazing experience in May, and the trip leader Annelies clearly enjoyed it too. Annellis and Vamos Expeditions set up an... read more amazing tour of the Galapagos Islands. Their local knowledge paid off with a great naturalist, a great boat and crew. The natural beauty of the island cluster was tremendous, with the stepping stones of natural selection laid out, island by island. We sometimes had two nature walks with nesting boobies and frigate birds, and two snorkeling events among schools of reef fish. The arrangements were great starting when we arrived in the Quito, and Annelies' care for each group member's experience was obvious. Her love of nature and local people was always apparent too. I recommend any trip with Vamos.

  Vamos Expeditions Trip to Ecuador & Galapagos April -May 5. 2023 - Vamos Expeditions organized a fabulous 8 day yatch trip of the Galápagos Islands, Ecuador. They took care of all the arrangements and kept in great communication leading up to the... read more trip I was S prepared as I could be! They made it so easy for me as I am not fluent in Spanish, had never been on a yacht, or snorkeled in the salt water . My friends and I wanted to arrive a few days early- and Vamos laid out a great itinerary, complete with lodging, transportation, guides and interpreter ! It was a fabulous 12 days all around! I was so supported; felt safe and had a fantastic time! I highly recommend this trip and this company!

  Thank you Vamos, for helping us to create the most special trip to Peru in December 2022 to January 2023. During a time when many would not consider traveling, we... read more trusted you to be our ears and eyes on the ground. You not only welcomed us with open arms, but kept in communication with your contacts, on top of changing events, and the guides and drivers treated us like family. Traveling with our 2 year old toddler and senior parents could not have been easier. A safe car seat was provided, and cribs set up in our hotel rooms upon arrival.  Our guides, Carolina in Lima and Marisol in Cusco, went above and beyond and we can't wait to come back to see them again and more of this beautiful country.  Hasta la proxima!

  Amazing Peru Travel Experience! - Vamos Expeditions is a wonderful Peru-based company with nearly two decades of experience running trips in Peru and throughout Latin America. They have deep roots in local communities and are... read more leaders in ethical and sustainable travel in the region. Annelies, the owner, is such a wonderful person. I enjoyed all of the time that I spent with her. I had such an amazing time in Peru! I loved the food, the beautiful, kind people, the fascinating culture and the stunning beauty of the landscapes. I also felt totally safe in Peru as a solo woman traveler. Also, I didn’t run into any issues with political unrest or protests. Things seem to be normalizing in Peru and, although tourists are returning, the sites are still uncrowned. I think it’s a great time to visit!

  Excellent company who went out of their way to make our trip on the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu memorable. Very good communication, excellent local knowledge, and I highly recommend!

  Vamos=Trusted=Local Guides=Up-to-Date Info=Magical, Perfect Trip! Vamos planned our PERFECT 8 day adventure to Peru. We luckily went Dec 20 to 28, 2022 during a peaceful holiday pause of civil-political protests.... read more Prior to our trip, Vamos gave us daily email updates about the current situation. For example, we would hear "breaking" USA news that the Machu Picchu (MP) train tracks were damaged and train wasn't working-oh no/chaos/cancel trip. Vamos would email back and inform us that those tracks were already fixed and the train was working-yay, trip is back on! Best decision ever. Words/photos can't describe how magical MP is. You gotta experience it yourself. Due to many people cancelling, we had MP to ourselves. So quiet, SAFE, and peaceful.

Vamos customized our trip per our request for 2 families (total 4 adults and 4 teenagers). Annelies and Alvaro are so kind and organized our trip. They were VERY prompt via email to answer questions. We bought our airfair from USA-Lima. Our Vamos excursion included the Latam airfair (Lima-to-from-Cusco), 2 days in Cusco, 1 day Ollantaytambo (Sacred Valley), 2 day Inca Trail to MP (overnight at hotel), 1 day excursion to Maras/Moray. All the hotels, trains, buses; plus a private van/driver in Cusco, Sacred Valley, and Maras/Moray. One guide, either Patricia and Fernando, were with us on all days minus Lima (per our request). Both guides fantastic and great with our kids; both live in Cusco and were fluent in English.

Also, per our guide, Vamos treats their guides very well compared to bigger companies.
