Don't Take Our Word For It

Of course we can sit here and talk about how great it is to travel with Knowmad all day long, but who you really want to here from are the travelers. Well, they’ve spoken!

South America Travel - Peru

Knowmad Adventures planned a trip of a lifetime for my family and I to Peru. All 8 of us can’t say enough positive things about this experience. It was truly a perfectly planned and excited trip, thanks to Knowmad. Every step of the way was smooth – from planning it on through each adventure. All the hassles of traveling abroad were avoided thanks to the great car and attention to detail that Knowmad provided. I believe we were given the most authentic travel experiences possible and I can’t imagine going to South America without Knowmad Adventures!

Peru Tour

You and your team did such a wonderful job and I can’t thank you enough. Our guide, Celinda, was incredible, extremely knowledgable and passionate about the Andean people and the Incan culture/ruins. We learned more than I could’ve imagined to. We loved the picnic, the climb up Waynapicchu, Machu Picchu and the ruins tours, the cooking class and the trip to the Amaru community!

Chile Trip Review

All your arrangements for the hotel stays, travels, van transportations, activities and most important, guides were superb. Every single guide was knowledgeable, receptive to our questions and last minute requests, friendly, personable and professional. We learned so much from each and every one of them. I can’t forget to mention how delightful, helpful and patient our van drivers were. The way you paced and varied the activities made the trip even more pleasant. You really personalized our trip for us.

- Maureen, Minneapolis, MN

After traveling to Chile two years ago with Knowmad Adventures there was no question as to who was going to help plan my trip to Peru! Thank you so much to Knowmad Adventures. The places they recommended, connections, and knowledge of these regions were impeccable. I highly recommend using Knowmad Adventures to plan your next trip to Peru or Chile!

The Knowmad team put together the trip of a life time for us. Everything was perfect, from the guides to the accommodations to the activities, and your extensive knowledge of the area and personal relationships with the people we met in Chile were invaluable. We can’t recommend Knowmad highly enough.

This trip ranks as one of my favorite trips ever! The Inca Trail was challenging but rewarding, filled with breathtaking vistas and amazing sites brought to life by Max – he was so knowledgeable and I appreciated having a local guide. We avoided most of the crowds due to your unique itinerary.

Our trip was everything we dreamed it would be and more. Your group did a great job everywhere we went.  We especially loved our guide Paula, and Explora was top notch too. All perfect.

Torres del Paine National Park

Our goal was to find joy and happiness in honor of my wife and the trip blew us both away, it could not have gone any better. Patagonia was great, the hikes went well, the ice climb, horseback riding, and kayaking were spectacular. Our guides were top notch and we were well cared for

Peru and its people captured my heart. Simply remarkable and the trip couldn’t have been planned better. It’s really amazing how you put together a trip that my daughter and I both enjoyed equally

We got back last night and I must say that the organization of the entire trip was AMAZING. We all loved Peru and thanks to Knowmad we even enjoyed it a lot more. Thanks a lot Jordan for everything as we had sooooo much fun. I’ll definitely recommend you to anybody that wants to experience Peru.

Our trip could not have been better.  You attended to every detail, no matter how small. Being met at every airport, hot tea and water in the van, all the charming hotels.  How special you made Tripp’s birthday 3 times during the day!  All our guides and drivers, the experience in Amaru and the Amazon.  And of course our guide, Harry, who really is the best!

Special Interest Group Photo

I have organized travel groups for over 25 years and Knowmad Adventures is one of the best trip operators I have worked with.  They recently put together a trip to Chile and Argentina for me and the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum that was exciting, fun, and one that was appreciated by all of our 19 participants. I will be using them for all future trips to South America.

Just returned from Peru with many great memories, experiences and pictures. Thanks for setting up fantastic guides and lodgings. Staying with the family on Taquille Island was an amazing experience, our guide Javier was outstanding, and the accommodations were the best!

Horseback Riding in South America

The trip was a 10 out of 10! Perfect in every way.  Thank you, thank you for organizing every detail.  It went without a hitch.  The girls loved Explora.  They said that with every experience there was a reward at the end…salt lagoon, hot springs, food, wine.  They were able to see that adventure vacations are much more rewarding that sitting on a beach getting burned.  So valuable to see that at their young age.

- Anne, Minnetonka, MN

Kellenberger Family in Chile

What an unforgettable trip. It was such a well-thought out combination between comfort and adventure with a glimpse into another culture that we couldn’t have gotten any other way. Thanks Knowmad!

- Kristen, Corvallis, OR

Horseback Riding in Patagonia

Everything went perfectly and we enjoyed every element of the trip.  The guides were all excellent, everyone was always on-time and the hotels were exactly what we wanted.  The Estancia turned out to be exceptional and I would say a highlight—the real thing, and right in the park.  We ate the trout we caught one day for dinner and everyone loved the horse riding.  We especially liked Roberto doing the W, a great hiking guide, and Arianna, in BA, very knowledgeable about the history and the City. I would say the unanimous judgment was one of the best trip we have ever taken.

- John, Minneapolis, MN

Torres del Paine National Park

Thanks for the organization, the trip was excellent! Everything went well and I had a great time. The areas you suggested are beautiful. My guides were very knowledgeable. I’m traveling to Bolivia and Peru next year and I will surely plan it with you.

All the activities were wonderfully coordinated to mix physical activity with sightseeing to give us a “backstage pass” to the Chilean culture. What a great setting for a family reunion!
