What an adventure! We’ll never forget the salt flats in Bolivia, staying in a hotel made of salt was such a fun experience, then crossing into Peru for Lake Titicaca and Cusco before ending in the Galápagos. The way the trip was put together worked really well, and we could tell how much thought had gone into every detail.

We had such a brilliant time. Jo’s advice before we booked made such a difference – especially her suggestion for the small ship, which suited us perfectly. Quito was fascinating to explore with a guide who really knew his stuff, and then every day on the Galápagos cruise felt like a new discovery. It honestly couldn’t have been better planned.

James & Carol Faversham, Ecuador

The whole trip was amazing from start to finish. The Amazon lodge was exactly what we wanted – comfortable but still right in the jungle, with guides who could spot things we’d never have seen on our own. Then heading out to the Galápagos was a complete change of scene but just as special. We really felt the benefit of Sundowner’s local contacts.

Tom Penhaligon, Ecuador

This was the big trip we’d been talking about for years, and it more than lived up to expectations. The balance was spot on – James helped us pace it so we had time in Cusco to acclimatise before the Inca Trail, and then a few gentler days around Lake Titicaca before flying to the Galápagos. Having the right hotels in the right places made such a difference, and the local guides really brought everything to life.

Emily Ashworth, Peru & Galapagos

What an adventure! We’ll never forget the salt flats in Bolivia, staying in a hotel made of salt was such a fun experience, then crossing into Peru for Lake Titicaca and Cusco before ending in the Galápagos. The way the trip was put together worked really well, and we could tell how much thought had gone into every detail.

David & Susan Ormsby, Bolivia & Peru & Galapagos

Combining island hopping with a cruise was Jo’s idea and it turned out perfectly – we got the best of both worlds. The boutique hotels on the islands felt personal and welcoming, and then the cruise gave us the chance to reach some of the more remote spots. Swimming with sea lions was a definite highlight!

The Fenwick Family, Galapagos

Our trip to Chile and Ecuador went really smoothly with flights and transfers all well organised. In Chile we visited the Atacama Desert and the lake district, both very different and memorable. In Ecuador we enjoyed exploring Quito and then spent time in the Galápagos where swimming with sea lions and seeing giant tortoises was a real highlight. We were well looked after throughout and didn’t have to worry about a thing. A fantastic holiday, thank you.
