Chilè, a Most Wonderful Country and Experience My tour guides were excellent. They took me everywhere I wanted to go and some. Both gentlemen were very informative and I learned a lot. Great cultural experience and beautiful scenery. Food was amazing and the people were great. This is a trip I’ll carry with me for life.

yampu got us out of israel in oct 2023 Jose went above and beyond to help us escape israel in oct 2023. this is not our first trip planned by yampu, and all have been well done with the details in order. weve made over 300 trips, most international, in the last 16 years, so we know good planning when we see it.

The wonderful world of “Oz” There were some hiccups along the way but Jose and his team were quick to make sure my trip was still able to happen. Everything about my trip was a dream come true. The people were amazing, the food was absolutely delicious, and the adventures/tours were truly unforgettable experiences. 10/10 would recommend a trip to “Oz” aka Australia ❤️🐨🦘

Galápagos and Rapa Nui Before I booked with Yampu Tours, I spoke at length with José to figure out what tour company to go with to the Galápagos and Rapa Nui, also known as Easter Island. After speaking with several companies, I decided on Yampu. One reason: it gives back to local communities in Latin America through a number of programs, including one in the Galápagos, an environmentally-protected place. Beyond that, I got a good intuitive feeling about José. My intuition was spot on: our trip and working with José were incredible! José communicated with me extensively before our trip, meticulous about details so we had the best experience possible in each city we flew in to. He suggested city tours with local guides who were extremely knowledgable about history and culture. The naturalist guides in the Galápagos were extraordinary, and the catamaran crew was in sync with all the guests’ needs. One of our party is vegan, and José made sure the chef onboard the Galápagos cruise was attentive to that, and both he and our local guides elsewhere suggested places to eat. The Rapa Nui leg of our trip was superb! Our guide was Rapa Nui and, in addition to personal history and culture, he gave us an invaluable perspective on how those who live on this remote island viewed visitors like we tourists. Unexpected issues, not due to Yampu, arose, and José handled them promptly with understanding and grace. He showed care for our situation, and our trust in him grew as we felt well-taken care of amid difficulties. Yampu is Quechua for the totora reed boat from Lake Titicaca. It also means bringing a vision to life. Yampu did that for us: it made a long-held dream a reality.

Our travel agent Our travel agent, Stephanie, was phenomenal. Not only did she put up with the 7 of us as we worked to plan this trip for months.....she had excellent suggestions and provided superior service and care when making arrangements. She really listened to what we wanted/needed and made sure everything was PERFECT. Honestly, she helped give us a once-in-a-lifetime family experience.
