South American Travel Services, in short SATS, is a team of high qualified international professionals in the tourism industry. We founded our company in 2001. As of 2014 we are presented by OntdekReizen B.V. in the Netherlands. We handcraft original and unique itineraries and experiences for FIT, VIP, small group and special interest groups from all over the world. We are specialized in Tailor made programs. Our main objective is to provide you a great holiday in Peru and South America tailored to your specific needs and expectations.

Our founders are enthusiastic people with more than 15 year experience in the Peruvian tourism.

As Peruvians we find it important that Peru maintains its own culture. Our travel organisation therefore wants to minimize the negative impact of tourism as much as possible and ensure that it makes a positive contribution. We achieve this by working together with local guides, local suppliers and local communities. We have carefully selected our partners and built a strong sustainable network. All our partners have a deeply acquired interest in preserving their own culture and environment at the same time are very customer-oriented. Ours is a ‘total approach’ to responsible tourism, covering everything from the way we plan and operate our trips to the practices of ethos as a company.

Tourism can be a real help to local communities, providing income, positive cultural exchanges and a financial incentive to protect their natural environment.
