What our travelers say
Fabian C23. March, 2025 An Unforgettable and Well-Organized Journey Through Peru Our 14-day trip to Peru was an unforgettable experience! Despite a 15-hour delay on our international flight, the Vamos team handled everything smoothly, rescheduling our itinerary with ease. The organization was excellent, and communication was seamless through WhatsApp and a dedicated app with all necessary details.We visited Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley with our fantastic guide, Marisela. Then, we explored Lake Titicaca and spent a few days in the Amazon rainforest, where we had enriching encounters with local families who shared their culture and traditions. A big thank you to Annelies for helping us plan this incredible journey and to Carmen for the great help and support for during our adventures—everything was perfectly arranged! Peter J17. February, 2025 It was an unforgettable experience with pink dolphins adventures and Machu Picchu Expeditionhu On February 8th-14th 2025, I went to Peru to celebrate my birthday, to see and swim with pink dolphins, and to have a once in a life time experience at Machu Picchu. I chose Vamos Expeditions to organize my trip and the experience was awe-inspiring and stupendous. This was my first time in Peru and I needed everything to be perfect. The staff at Vamos Expeditions proved to be personable, reliable and superior planners. Their tour guides were knowledgeable, fun to be around and they went above and beyond to make my trip memorable and an experience to sigh for.My first contact with Vamos Expeditions was with Annelies who proved to be patient, thoughtful and resolute in making sure she understood my needs and work within my budget. She communicated with me regularly and I knew she was a professional by the way she attended to the details. Once we agreed on the pink dolphin adventure and the Machu Picchu Expedition, I knew I was in good hands.I was traveling alone because unfortunately my wife was unable to make the trip. On Saturday, February 8th when i departed the USA, I knew exactly every detail of my itenary because it was documented and shared early. I know the name of the person who i will meet at the airport, the hotel that I will stay, the flight details to head to Iquitos and the expectations in Iquitos and Nauta. From the moment I met Carolina and Victor (driver) at the airport to Walter (driver) the next morning, i knew my trip was going to be unforgettable. They were kind, reliable and on-time.One of the most memorable parts of my trip was when I met Daniel Macedo and his staff who were assigned the uneviable task of exploring pink river dolphins along the yanayacu river. I didn't get to swim with the pink dolphins but I got much more. I got videos of them; I learnt about their habitats plus the remarkable local myths and legends about them.I was nearly in tears on my birthday, February 10th when I noticed how much effort was made to make sure it was a birthday to yearn for. Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner were prepared with me singularly in mind given that i am a sophisticated eater and a pescatarian. The staff came out to sing Feliz Cumpleanos Pedro (video available). I received a birthday cake with special greetings on it. I received a poster and a t-shirt with greetings in both Spanish and English plus pictures of Llamas, pink dolphins and Machu Picchu. We even had a party in the night where they taught me the cumbia dance and I taught them bachata and Salsa. For those of us living in the northern hemisphere, the month of February is the peak of winter. However, Peru is in the southern hemisphere and experience summer and rain. Lima was relatively warm but Iquitos and Nauta were pouring rain and the temperature was chilly.Normally I would rate this part of the adventure a 12 out of 10 but because of the lack of warm water to shower and the suspension of light in the room at 10 pm at the ecolodge, I gave them a 9.999 out of 10. Daniel was a fantabulous tour guide and he left me many times speechless because of his wealth of knowledge about the vegetation, the culture and the various species. Cudos to Daniel and his team because they went above and beyond to find pink dolphins and to ensure that I was well fed and entertained.Next up was Machu Picchu. When I met Jaime Zuniga, my new tour guide, I never knew my trip could get any better. We had two days to explore one of the seven wonders of the world and oh yes, Jaime hit it out of the park. We traveled to Machu Picchu by train from Cuzco and his English was flawless. His breadth of knowledge of the region was more than impressive. I was blown away by the grandiose Machu Picchu and Jaime was friendly, professional and explained everything in simple terms. I had two of the best days of my life treading the mountains, laughing, dressing-up for picture-taking, being fascinated by Llamas and intrigued by the local rituals around the mountains and celestial beings.The trip ended on valentines night and Jaime made sure I was safe and secure back on my trip to Lima then subsequently to Atlanta.I would recommend Vamos Expeditions as a perfect tour guide and planning team for anyone who wants to explore Peru and have the time of their life. I will never forget the exceptional service from the meticulous Annelies and Carmen, the extremely pleasant Carolina, the tour guides of the year Jaime Zuniga and Daniel Macedo.Thanks a million, Vamos Expeditions, you take the worry out of a trip of a lifetime. Elie Y.9. January, 2025 Wonderful 9-day trip to Peru with Vamos Expedition We booked a 9-day trip to Peru for 4 people with Vamos Expeditions, and we couldn't have been happier with the results. First of all, I worked with Annelies on the trip program back and forth for a couple of weeks, and her responses were always timely and she accomodated all the requests I made.The trip itself was amazing, and all was taken care of by the Vamos Exp. team, from internal flights (Cusco-Lima), to hotels, means of transportation (train, van), and site entrances.The guides, Carolina in Lima and Marisol in Cusco, were amazing, very knowledgeable, very friendly, and very accomodating. The trip was tailored to our pace, and both were flexible to accomodate last minute changes without a problem. Their food/dining recommendations were also really spot on.Special shout-out from all 4 of us to Marisol with whom we spent the majority of the trip (7 out of the 9 days): not only is she a great guide with a great passion for her Inca heritage, but also an amazing person with a very warm and jovial personality, to the point where she started with us as a guide and ended up as a good friend.If you ever decide to go to Peru, I strongly recommend you book your trip with Vamos Expeditions.P.S. Regarding Machu Picchu visit: if you’re fit and like hiking, I recommend doing the Short Inca trial (6-7miles) one day, spend the night in Aguas Calientes, and visit Machu Picchu the next day. Martin Acke1. January, 2025 Muchas Gracias’ for the Vamos Expeditions team We have already made a lot of world trips in group. It was therefore a bit of a wait and see what our first individually guided trip through Peru would bring us.Through an acquaintance we came into contact with Annelies Hamerlinck of Vamos Expeditions in Lima. Thanks to her input and experience, we made a beautiful planning in no time that took into account our personal interests and preferences, budget and timing. In mid-October we left full of expectations for Lima. The 30-day trip through beautiful Peru turned into a fantastic adventure. Thanks to a fine, often personal guidance, we travelled smoothly from one highlight to another: Lima, Paracas, Ballestas, Huacachina, Nasca, Arequipa, Colca Canyon, Puno, Lake Titicaca, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu. We could always count on a personal, professional English speaking guide. Especially thanks to Carolina, Pablo, Susy, Hector, Franklin,... they have taught us a lot about the rich history, the historic Inca cities, the interesting museums, the picturesque nature with beautiful fauna and flora of the beautiful Andean country Peru. The selection of hotels was fine. Interesting tips from our guides also led us to some high-quality culinary experiences such as the restaurants Chicha in Arequipa and Cusco and Punta Azul, La Mar and La Rosa Nautica in Lima. After a nice four-day end in Corto Maltès in the Amazon near Puerto Maldonado, we flew back to Lima more than satisfied. ‘Muchas Gracias’ for the Vamos Expeditions team. Annelies, Pablo and Carmen. All our expectations were met!Carine and Martin from Zelzate gorpie29. December, 2024 Unforgettable journey thanks to vamos expeditions! Our trip to Peru was a dream come true, and that was largely thanks to Vamos Expeditions. Everything was arranged to perfection: from exploring Machu Picchu to our adventures in the Amazon and the Sacred Valley. The guides were professional, passionate and shared their knowledge in a way that made the trip extra special.Thanks to the perfect organization, we were able to fully enjoy without worrying about anything. Vamos Expeditions gave us not only a fantastic trip, but also memories for life. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to discover Peru! Vacation4622254145127. November, 2024 Impressive Peru VAMOS provided a professional preparation with all useful information and a smooth course of an energetic journey through an impressive and very varied country. The Larco museum in Lima as a starter is ideal to get into the Inca atmosphere. A quiet build-up along the coast to higher regions, with hardly any time to process all the impressions and toppers like Titicaca, Cusco and surroundings and of course the reward after a tough day train: Machu Picchu! As an ideal ending, caimans, giant otters, macaws, monkeys, spiders,... in the rainforest. Carmen’s attentive behind-the-scenes follow-up is the secret to a relaxing trip!Pleasant company and conversations with Pablo, Sandra, Nathalia and many others provided a better insight into a fantastic country with a great culture!Thank you Annelies! Jan26. November, 2024 Peru We have now returned home for a few weeks after an unforgettable 3 week trip to beautiful Peru. Last year, in September, we and a couple of friends had a conversation about travel with Annelies. A tailor-made itinerary has been prepared according to our wishes. Our expectations were more than met!We visit the mainattractions such as the Larco museum in Lima, Paracas, Ballestas Islands, flyover to the Nasca Lines, Arequipa, Colca Canyon, sailing on Lake Titicaca with visit to the islands of totora, day stay in the community of Luquina, luxury. Pisa, Tambomachay, sacred valley, a hard short Inca road, visit Machu Picchu. And finally escape and visit the rainforest.Every day we faced one surprise after another.The guides Carolina, Pablo, Sandra, Nathalia etc... were sublime! Thanks for that!The organization of the tour was really perfect! Carmen was available anytime, anywhere, immediately received appropriate assistance with aflight cancelled and with an abandoned jacket, which was sent to the hotel upon return to Miraflores.I didn't suffer any serious altitude sickness problems thanks to Annelies' good planning!Many breaks were also incorporated.Come on expeditions deserves a great compliment from us!!Greetings to all and thank you very much again!Jan and Claudine Philippe J6. November, 2024 Perfect service, excellent individual travel program - 17 days roundtrip for 2 incl Cusco, colca, Titicaca, Amazone etc Excellent service, individual personalized program with local guides, including all highlights (cusco, colca, titicaca, amazone…) Sophie & Ken5. November, 2024 Vamos is the way to go We just came back from a two-week trip to Peru and cannot wait to plan the next one with Vamos. Everything was very well organized and so professional. We got a detailed description of the trip beforehand including restaurant recommendations. Every guide and driver were timely, kind and enthused about showing their country. Marisol and Iphrain (Cusco) were top notch, willing to change the schedule when we stumbled onto the 150-year celebration of a city and did not mind stopping for pictures along the way. Annelies, the owner, is only a call away if you need to ask something. If you are looking for help with planning a memorable trip to Peru, Vamos is the way to go. Glenn L22.
