Joe helped us plan an absolutely incredible trip to Cuba. It was such an amazing learning experience and we felt like we were staying with our Cuban friends and family. Every detail was taken care of, we had such knowledgeable and friendly guides, the accommodations were superb, the food and entertainment experiences were wonderful. I can't say enough about this beautiful country, if you are considering it, go! I am so grateful we found Joe and Exeter to arrange one of the most memorable trips ever, and we are looking forward to working with them again! Update July 2026: Just returned from an amazing trip to Quito, Ecuador, the Galapagos and the Andes organized by Joe and his team. What an incredible experience - every detail was carefully organized so that we were able to maximize our time in this beautiful country and have a one of a kind adventure. We are always confident when working with Exeter that we will be connected to the best that any destination has to offer and this was no exception.

Joe Sandillo with Exeter South America assisted us with organizing our Brazil trip to Anavilhanas Lodge, including fly fishing arrangements and transportation coordination. Everything generally went smoothly, and it was helpful having someone coordinate the logistics for a more complicated international trip. We enjoyed the experience and appreciated the support with planning.

Exeter Latin America and Joe Sandillo were great in planning our travels. We were in Chile for three weeks and had six inland flights. They organized all our hotels and flights and everything went very smooth. They had given us great advice on where to stay, and guides they arranged for us also were fantastic.
