GBBest Trip Ever I found Detour via a google search and boy, am I glad that I did. I travelled with 7 family members to Galapagos. Detour was with us every step of the way. The attention and constant updates prior to our trip were greatly appreciated. I can not wait to use them again. These guys made our wonderful trip even better. I would definitely use them again

GBexperts in AUTHENTIC adventure travel I can't say enough good things about Detour Destinations. They know, really know, the ins and outs of Central and South America. I havae worked with them on several trips - Peru, Costa Rica and Ecuador. They know these countries - have the insider's scoop - on people, places and experiences. They have created deeply authentic, culturally rich and super fun & adventurous trips for my family. I asked for a combo of education, adventure and community - they delivered on all three. I asked for a college level educated field biologist and history tour guide and they not only delivered an expert in the history & culture of Peru, but one who had connections to the Indigenious people of the Andes....so when we walked a trail and picked a leaf or flower he could tell us why it was important to the people 1000 years ago and today. That alone made a life changing impression on my son. All important to us on any trip the food! Detour knew where to go to - from diners and five star - to experience Anthony Bourdain authentic food. I'll never forgot the Coca leaf ravioli with a fresh tomato sauce enjoyed while sitting on in a sun drenched, flower rich patio - it was magical. Detour Destinations is my go to for custom adventure travel - for family, for multi-generational trips and for girl friend get-aways. Last but not least DD delivers value......you get everything the big boy thick colored brochure travel operators offer without the huge mark-up.

GBBest in the business Traveled to Ecuador and Galápagos Islands through Detour. It was an experience of a life time. All travel and logistics were spot on. If your looking for adventure with professional service, I would highly recommend Detour.

GBDetour Review + Layna! Dear Detour (and Layna!), Thank you so much for all that you did to support and help us as my friends and I made plans to travel to the Galapagos. You were incredibly thoughtful, caring, and patient, and this made us feel confident that the trip we were signing up for was going to be reputable and high quality. Taking the Angelito I through the Galapagos was the trip of a lifetime, and you helped us to make it happen. Our guide Maja was fantastic (and spoke very highly of you all!), the islands were each unique and beautiful in their own way, and the experience brought me and my friends even closer together. We were so impressed that we talked about looking at what other trips you all have to offer! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

GBAn Amazing Adventure through Peru We spent 23 days in Peru from Lima to Tambopata. We hiked and camped on the Salkantay and Lares Valley, visited Machu Picchu (of course) and enjoyed days on Lake Titicaca, in Puno, Cusco, Arequipa, Colca Canyon and the Tambopata National Reserve. This was our DREAM vacation. Every detail, connection, domestic flight, guide (and expert climbers) were perfect, professional and friendly (we stay in contact). We highly recommend Detour Destinations and Katie Colligan.
