We are from South America !
We speak Spanish and Portuguese, we know all the local cuisine/eateries, annual festivals and the local culture.
Over the years, Kelson , Elena and Kyall travelled and trek in South America experiencing the nature, people and culture of this majestic continent, their second home, and wished they could share it with other nature lovers.
We combine experience and creativity with an eye for detail. We understand that each group has it own dynamic, and needs to be attended in a personalized way.
-
TrekSA understands both the individual expectations and the local logistics and as a result we operate successful trips. All looked after to the minutest details.
-
TrekSA is committed to responsible travel. Our philosophy means keeping groups small and working as much as possible with locally owned business and fairly paid local staff.
