How We Began
The year was 2010 in Lima, Peru. Two American expats, with fresh minted MBA’s and a love for travel founded SA Expeditions. Nick Stanziano and David Rottblatt were taking a chance on life.
Maybe with a few computers and lots of hard work, they could turn their passion for travel into a company. Since then, that idealism and ambitions of youth have come to reality, giving way to an adventure of a lifetime shared among our thousands of clients, colleagues and partners along the way.
We are specialist in South America and we see ourselves as being born on the continent. Today though, our team is global. A robust and choreographed web of destination experts, guides and local operators that are at the very top of their craft, designing and executing travel experiences that changes lives.
Our Team
SA Expeditions is more than just a travel company, it’s a network of professionals hailing from a variety of backgrounds and places, all bound by a love of travel, appreciation of different cultures and dedication to crafting an authentic travel experience. Our team of experts, visible and behind the scenes, all contribute to making each tailor-made trip a truly unique, memorable, once in a lifetime adventure. Have a look behind the scenes and see what makes SA Expeditions tick.
