Why Travel with Southern Crossings?
Value for money
We include quite a lot in our tour package, such as all internal
flights and all 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 or an extra day at Machu Picchu.
We think you'll be pleasantly surprised with what we offer.
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 transport companies and
airlines that have poor safety records or that we consider to be
less reliable, even when their fares are considerably cheaper.
Included airport
transfers and internal flights - 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. It's also no fun buying a tour and then finding out
that big things like flights are not included. On a Southern
Crossings tour, we take care of you from beginning to end, airport
to airport, and include everything in the package to allow you to
have an enjoyable, worry-free trip.
Personalized, prompt service
We're 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 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.
