“The memories from our three-week trip will last a lifetime and exceeded all expectation. It was a long-term dream of mine to visit South America and when the opportunity presented itself, I knew I needed help to make the most of my limited travel time exploring as much of the continent as possible.

Harry and his team at Plan South America were the perfect fit. From the outset Harry took time to listen and turn my wish list into a fantastic three-week itinerary, blending must-see highlights with little-known gems.  His first-hand knowledge of the countries was invaluable, as was his patience in dealing with many last-minute changes and requests.

Before departure, we were given all the information needed and access to a real-time app to keep us on track.  Paired with the resourceful and indefatigable concierge, Franco, our 24/7 ground support was seamless – dealing with lost property to last-minute tickets and Rio Festival costume hire!  The local knowledge and contacts of the Plan South America team also helped us find wonderful artisans, exceptional restaurants and memorable ‘money can’t buy’ experiences, which would not have been possible left to our own devices.”

“I don’t know where to begin. The trip was once in a lifetime. The people were incredible and the horses and Patagonia itself was just spectacular.

We made friends with Alejandro and Paquita at Rio Quillen and it was hard to leave! Everything there was perfect. Then we headed south and at Josefina went truly the most remote either of us have ever been. It was a dream. Also challenging, demanding riding in the best way. I am emotional trying to sum it up. We were treated like family everywhere we went. My husband and I are in hospitality so to be cared for like this is not only inspiring, it’s a rare treat.

Everything, including your team, over delivered. We are so grateful. And we will go back!

Thank you for your guidance (and patience!) along the whole way – we are so lucky, and in the end I’m very glad I could share this experience with my husband. He also had the time of his life! Now we just need to go back again.”

“I just wanted to say what a triumph the whole expedition was. All brilliantly arranged by you and your team. And I really don’t think I would have changed a thing. We adored it all and felt we spent just the right amount of time at each place.”

Each hotel … was stunning. Best rooms, very quiet, very big and with great views… And really good food at all of them.

You also successfully managed to minimise or vary the travel – which was quite an achievement considering the distances we covered. Catching very early or late pm flights where possible really works as you don’t waste the day.

We loved our guides… All very intelligent, well informed and spoke excellent English.  So, a thousand thanks. We will be recommending you and Plan South America to all our friends.”
