What travelers are saying

"We've taken over 10 group tours using Cosmos and Gate1. This trip last month, 9000 was not very good. -During booking, incorrect information was given about airport-hotel transfers -The whispers (listening devices) didn't work from the get-go, so no whispers were used during the 13 day trip. - Porters are no longer hired to bring your luggage to and from your room. (Very elderly had to handle their own luggage. Our friends had to help many of them.) -A few days into the trip one couple left. At the end of the trip we found out they had covid. Cosmos did not let us know; a few people weren't feeling well and two of our friends then tested positive. -One hotel was awful and not even up to "budget" standards -Many of the stops had castles, churches... but were not included, so be sure to count that in when pricing.  don't plan to use Cosmos ever again. Gate1 is the best in my opinion. When my husband's passport was stolen, they assigned someone to go with him to the embassy, translate, etc...It was above and beyond what we expected  "

Buenos Aires, Cuenca, Inca Trail, La Paz, Lima, Machu Picchu, Mendoza, Ollantaytambo, Otavalo, Puno, Quito, San Francisco, Sucre, Uyuni

Highlights

  • Roam the amazon jungle at night while pretending you're david attenborough (it has a calming influence). float down the river, keeping an out for the glaring eyes of jaguars and caimans
  • The floating islands of uros on lake titicaca seem like the sort of thing pixar would come up with. spend the night under the stars in a traditional island village
  • Whether you trek the classic inca trail, the inca quarrytrail or take the scenic train route, trust us, this is going to be one of the highlights of your awesome lives
  • Don't worry, we won't hog all of your time. you'll have plenty of opportunity to bounce around cuzco, digging deep into the pockets of incan history
  • The wicked witch of the west had her flying monkeys and red shoes. the witches of la paz have dried llama foetuses and alpaca blankets. while both sound imaginary, the witches' market in la paz is a true bolivian experience

Highlights

  • Unesco is a pretty good judge of character, right? with its colonial architecture, plazas, churches and colourful local life, there's a reason they've listed quito's old town as a world heritage site
  • There's nothing like munching on a red tomato from an ecuadorian market, eh? saunter (yes, saunter) around the otavalo markets and find yourself smack bang in the middle of souvenir city, population: you
  • Visit the colonial city of cuenca
  • Get your adrenaline kicks in banos – or just plonk yourself in a hot spring
  • Head out on a city tour of lima visiting miraflores, down town and end in the bohemian neighbourhood of barranco.

Highlights

  • The boffins at unesco have perfected the science of picking the world’s best stuff. with its colonial architecture, plazas, churches and colourful local life, there's a reason they've listed quito's old town as a world heritage site
  • There's nothing like munching on a red tomato from an ecuadorian market, eh? saunter (yes, saunter) around the otavalo markets and find yourself smack bang in the middle of souvenir city, population: you
  • When humans and nature work in perfect harmony you get a place like cuenca – colonial streets and buildings to wander and el cajas np’s stunning lakey landscapes to hike while looking out for llamas
  • Get your adrenaline kicks in the party and adventure playground of banos – or just go for ‘me time’ and plonk yourself in a hot spring
  • Head out on a city tour of lima visiting miraflores and downtown, and join the peruvian hipsters in the neighbourhood of barranco
