.Why Travel
with Southern Crossings?
Experience ,
professionalism and safety
There are several ways we try to
make your trip as safe as possible. On all of our tours, our
guides are completely bilingual and have all lived and traveled
extensively in the regions in which they work. And we utilize
the most experienced and reputable crews for all of our adventure
activities. Our adventure sport teams have a combined 30 years of
experience and excellent safety records. Finally, we avoid
using bus companies and airlines that have poor safety records or
that we consider to be less reliable, even when their fares are
considerably cheaper.
Value for money
We
include quite a lot in our tour package, such as all internal
flights and all airport transfers. When comparing, look carefully at what's
included; whether it's something big like flights or something small
such as the Cuzco Visitor's Ticket.
We think you'll be pleasantly surprised with what we offer.
Included airport
transfers - always!
You'll never pay us extra for this. It's no fun
arriving in a foreign country and having to make your way to your
hotel on your own, being hassled and ripped off by the airport taxi
drivers. On a Southern Crossings tour, we'll have one of our
representatives at the airport instead, with a big, bright Southern
Crossings sign and secure and reliable transport to your hotel. And
you won't have to dig around for spare change for taxi fare at the
end of your trip, either. Your transfer to the airport for you
departure flight is included in our prices, and Southern Crossings
makes sure you get a reliable and safe ride to start your journey
home.
Personalized, prompt service
We'r e a small adventure tour company and we think that's just
great. It means that
our staff and crews are carefully and thoughtfully selected, and it
also means that you, our client, will not get lost amongst a
thousand other passengers. Our tours are for individuals, friends,
families and small groups, and we take pride in providing a personal
and unique experience. This means we make a point of
personally meeting all of our clients, helping you out with any
particular interests or shopping items while you're here, and having
a 24-hour local phone number for any questions you might have.
Low impact tourism
What's low-impact tourism? A lot of things, both big and small,
like using a trekking staff that packs out all of its garbage and
refuse, or encouraging our passengers to give out school supplies or
Polaroid pictures instead of money or candy to the kids we encounter
along the way. We recognize that any form of tourism has an impact
on its destination, and we try to make ours as positive as possible.
Making you a part of giving back to the local communities
We
believe in giving back to the communities we visit, and we do it in
a unique way that we think you'll really like. On a Southern
Crossings trip, you can see this money at work. As a matter of fact, you
can give it yourself! One percent of your trip price goes to a
local children's charity which you may visit on your trip. So
if your trip costs $2000, we'll give $20 of that to the charity. As
a matter of fact, you can even specify where you'd like that money
to go, according to the current needs of the organization.
This way, you're not just passing through, you're actually making a
difference. Our organization in Peru is Peru's Challenge, just
outside of Cuzco. For more info, visit their website at

"I
thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Machu Picchu
absolutely astounded me! In the past I have always
traveled "on my own" with maps and guidebook in hand, but
for my first trip to South America decided a tour might be
wise. A very fortunate decision! With the
well-organized itinerary and wonderful guides a one week
visit was filled to the brim with fascinating sites and in
depth educational opportunities. Many thanks to
Marcello in Lima, and especially to Rene! I am back at
work but memories of mountains and clouds make me smile all
day long."

"It was a
great pleasure working with Doug Newton and Southern Crossings on
our National Geographic family travel TV series ‘Are We There
Yet?’. Doug showed a great flair for coming up with fun things for
kids to do at Machu Picchu, and put a lot of thought and time into
working with our specific needs. He was reliable, organized and thorough, plus he was so friendly and calm that he was a pleasure to
work with! Thanks again, Doug!"

"You guys
really do set the standard for what a travel adventure company
should be. You came through on your promise of personalized service
from the beginning to the end of the trip. During our trip
(especially at the train station), we heard horror stories from
tourists that booked their vacations with other companies. We are
so glad that we found you guys! Margo and Kris were extremely
helpful from something as routine as where to exchange our currency
to helping us not only to book, but arrange for us to sit in an
oceanfront restaurant serving ceviche! We're gonna be recommending
you guys to our friends and family. Top notch!"
