The Explorer's PassageReviews of explorerspassage.com

I started off planning a W trek in Patagonia with Jeff and had such a great experience working with him that I planned our entire 5 week trip through Explorers Passage. Jeff is highly knowledgeable with personal experience of many of the places we visited and helped create a truly memorable trip in Argentina, Chile and Panama that was executed flawlessly by EP. Some of the highlights were a traditional delicious Argentinian asada at La Bamba estancia, getting soaked to the skin at Iguazzu falls, drinking whiskey with glacial ice on the Perito Moreno glacier, experiencing the extreme wind and dramatic wild beauty of Patagonia from Los Glaciares in Argentina and Torres del Paine in Chile, wine tasting and beautiful lunches in the Casablanca and Colchagua valleys of Chile, street art in Valparaiso, floating in a salt lagoon in the Atacama desert, running down an Atacaman sand dune in the glow of the setting sun, rising before dawn to see the Tatio geysers in the cold temperature of early morning and seeing a huge freighter slowly rise in the locks of the Panama canal. We felt like VIPs being met by drivers and guides at every stop and when questions arose Jeff and/or his local contacts in Argentina and Chile were easy to contact and quick to respond. I hope to plan more trips with Explorers Passage!

The Explorer’s Passage curated a 2 week trip to Patagonia for us that was just right. Carly and Jeff provided us with a detailed and extensive plan that encompassed everything that we didn't know we needed for our hike and more. I would definitely be back to utilize their services in the future. They provided periodic check-in to make sure we were taken care of. We had the trip of a lifetime! Thanks TEP!

My buddy and I recently embarked on a Patagonian adventure with Explorer's Passage, and I cannot express how incredible the experience was from start to finish. From the moment we landed in Santiago to the awe-inspiring landscapes of Puerto Natales, Puenta Arenas, and the W Trek, every step of the journey was expertly crafted. The seamless transitions between destinations, the knowledgeable guides, and the attention to detail made this trip truly remarkable. One of the highlights was the W Trek, where we were treated to ever-changing weather, each turn revealing a new and breathtaking panorama. The guides were not only experts in navigating the terrain but also enthusiastic storytellers, sharing insights into the rich culture and history of the region. The trip through El Calafate was equally mesmerizing, with the stunning Perito Moreno Glacier leaving me in absolute awe. The contrast of landscapes, from the rugged beauty of the W Trek to the icy expanse of the glacier, showcased the diversity of Patagonia. Explorer's Passage went above and beyond in creating an adventure that not only allowed us to connect with nature but also provided immersive cultural experiences. The accommodations were comfortable, the logistics were flawless, and the flexibility to adapt to changing weather conditions was appreciated. I want to extend my gratitude to the entire Explorer's Passage team for curating such a memorable journey. We'll be back for another adventure to Kilimanjaro or Mont Blanc!

We cannot praise The Explorer's Passage enuf! We had a trip/experience of a lifetime on their Machu Picchu and Inca Trail adventure. The planning process was a breeze, the pre-hike necessary conditioning was well explained, arriving in Cusco and finding our guide and driver was easy, the Cusco City tours were fabulous and the trek was utterly AMAZING! Our Guide Neptali was the BEST. He is very knowledgeable, he's kind, he's funny, and he is calm and takes charge in a crisis. The porters and the chefs were wonderful. It was all around a 5 star experience. Definitely recommend this adventure!

Our Inka Trail hike to Machu Picchu was one of the top international trips I've ever been on. The hiking was challenging but within our ability. The guide adapted wonderfully to our group - giving the faster more adventurous travelers room to stretch our legs while keeping us all together and keeping the less fit trekkers safe. The camps were very comfortable, the food delicious, and the porters friendly. I couldn't have asked for a better trip to Peru.

A friend of mine told me about The Explorer's Passage & what a wonderful experience she had. I called Jeff & talked to him about what my daughter & I were looking for in our bucket list trip to Machu Picchu (my daughter's 16th & my 50th). Jeff took all of our wants/desires in & made suggestions. Jeff planned the perfect trip to Peru. We went to Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, & the Amazon Jungle. Our accommodations were beautiful & so comfortable. All of the food was delicious. Our guides were more than friendly & knowledgeable. Every detail was well thought out & planned (all transportation, tickets/passes, information to us about what to pack & how to train before, etc). We just had to take in the wonder of it all & enjoy. To Jeff, Harry, David & Peter Frost....thanks for the trip of a lifetime!!

My partner and I wanted to hike the Salkantay Trail in Peru and The Explorer's Passage made it possible. It was my first time doing a multi-day hike and sleeping in tents. The experience was first class and extremely well organized. We received a detailed itinerary and packing list ahead of the trip. Our guide was an expert on Inca history and knew the trail well, and spoke perfect English. For the first few days we were on a secluded trail and didn't see any other hikers. Everything was taken care of from setting up our tents, 3 meals a day, carrying our equipment, arranging passes for Machu Picchu. The trail was rigorous, but the guide was patient and adjusted his pace to ours. We hiked for 4 days + Machu Picchu, and would highly recommend this tour company.

The Explorers Passage is a top notch operator. From first booking, to pre-travel information provided, to being met at the airport, to the trip itself and finally being returned to the airport, everything was perfectly organized. Jeff made sure we were well taken care of and our guide, Neptali was second to none. The hike team were lovely, and the pre-hike dinner with Peter Frost fantastic. We have no hesitation in recommending The Explorer's Passage.
