Optimundo was founded through a real passion for South America and has since established a reputation for arranging holidays that exceed expectations.

We are the only UK tour operator to have a permanently staffed office in Chile, which means that unlike all other operators, the country experts that prepare your trip actually live in the region and have first hand knowledge of all the accommodation and services that they recommend.

Consequently we don't rely on second hand, third party or out-of-date information when answering your questions and planning your trip. This unique set up enables us to offer exceptional and completely authentic holidays.

Quite simply we offer the very best travel arrangements available.

If you are planning to travel half way around the world for a holiday you need to make the most of every moment. It is for this reason that we carefully design each trip to minimise travel time and maximise time spent enjoying the trip. We work with the best educated and most charming local guides and recommend the best hotels and lodges in the most privileged locations.

The resulting holidays are unsurpassed. If you would like us to get started on your travel arrangements you can choose from our selection of luxury holidays or if none match your wish-list then please use our tailor-made form to let us know your exact requirements.

Whatever trip you choose to take you will find that Optimundo provides a professional, informative and friendly service from booking through to every detail of your holiday.
