2009 Best Adventure Travel Companies On EarthNational Geographic Adventure online
The Adventure Ratings 2009: For the second time in as many years, we’ve conducted an unprecedented survey of adventure travel companies, based on the idea that a traveler’s most important decision is not always where to go but who to go with. For the 2009 edition, we spoke to more guide services—and their clients—than ever before.
Active South America Overall Score: 88.90
Most of Active South America's trips hit the highlights of an entire country, and the rest focus on just one region. In Chile and Argentina, it's Patagonia. In Peru, it's Titicaca, Cusco, Machu Picchu, and the Amazon. But all are active, with cycling, hiking, and sea kayaking or whitewater rafting on every trip. On its innovative Machu Picchu itinerary, clients bike through the Sacred Valley, hike the Inca Trail, climb Huayna Picchu mountain (which looms almost 1,000 feet above Machu Picchu), and paddle Lake Titicaca.

Exploring Peru With My New Familyby Jenny Hartshorne, GoNomad.com - July 2008
I say "Well, I was in Peru, went to the Amazon Rainforest and stayed in a cool jungle camp with thatched huts and hammocks in front, macaws and parrots flying free, tarantulas in the trees nearby. The jungle was full of boas, anaconda, monkeys and of course lizards of all sizes."
I organized the trip with my new blended family by signing up with ACTIVE SOUTH AMERICA, a really first-rate tour company. Since there were only five of us we were matched with another family of our size. You can also bring ten people and create your own group.
