Our Travel Consultants come from around the world, have traveled extensively throughout South America and work “at the source" from our operations headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, Lima and Buenos Aires, and at our flagship office in Seattle. We are passionate about South America Travel, and we're happy to share with you our favorite Buenos Aires restaurants, our insider's tips for Machu Picchu, or our secret colonial gems of Brazil, and anything else you’re eager to know. The idea to create SouthAmerica.travel first came to Co-Founders Juergen Keller and Bradley Nehring while traveling through Brazil's Amazon Rainforest. The two noticed few international travelers, and those they did meet had struggled to arrange the trip by themselves. Expertise in custom travel planning to Brazil was scarce to nonexistent. This inspired the duo to start their own travel business to fill this void and help travelers plan great trips to Brazil, and later all South America. With five offices on three continents, as well as local telephone numbers in 88 countries worldwide, the SouthAmerica.travel Team has helped thousands of travelers fulfill their unique dream of discovering the marvelous and diverse continent of South America.
