Custom-Designed Tours: Surtrek’s commitment is to design a travel plan that reflects your idea of a perfect journey after listening to and understanding your unique style and interests – all within the budget that works for you.
Seamlessly Organized Travel: Surtrek trips are designed to let you focus on the very best of South America, while we take care of all the “little details” — from domestic flights, transfers, accommodations, and guides, to authentic site excursions and the most savory of meals — which can make or break a once-in-a-lifetime travel experience.
South American-based Insider Knowledge: Based here in South America since 1993, Surtrek’s sole focus has been on South American travel. This means we have an “insider’s” familiarity with each country’s most compelling destinations, as well as with their transportation, hotels, upmarket dining infrastructure and the very best local guides.
Commitment to Authentic-Yet-Luxury Travel: Surtrek organizes trips where travelers can experience what is unique, traditional and “authentic” about each destination. Connections with local residents, chance wildlife encounters, and intriguing off-the-beaten-track detours represent the key to our travel philosophy, though we make sure that your stay is always first class.
Environmentally & Community Responsible Travel: Surtrek’s core value is a commitment to making positive contributions to our destinations, thus offsetting any adverse consequences of travel. For this, we promote local economic sustainability by contracting with local businesses and employing local workers in each of the communities we visit.
“We loved the time at the lodge in Cuyabeno. It was so genuine and natural there and the crew was so knowledgable and helpful. Thank you so much for the recommendation of the real Amazonia-experience.”
“I found Surtrek online as it proved to be an excellent, efficient company. Our 4 days in the Galapagos were expertly planned and we were never left without a guide - we were even walked to dinner each night and assisted with ordering!”
“I want to thank you for arranging a perfect tour for me. I know you did not have control over who the other people would be, but it all, on all fronts, was perfect. The itinerary was sensational and the boat fabulous.”
