Amazing holiday. Very varied and interesting with a good mix of people of all ages and nationalities. We saw all of the top sights in the area and good trips were organised e.g. horse riding.
(more)Had an amazing time... We covered a lot of areas that would have been really difficult to access (and impossible to carry tent, cooking equipment food etc by ourselves) and got a good overview of many of the places and things that people want to see and do. (more)The whole holiday was amazing, but if I had to name the top three things I would say (in no particular order!) going to Iguazu Falls (especially the boat ride under the falls!), the boat trip we went on in Paraty and just being in Rio. (more)
We particularly enjoyed the ranch stay and the Iguazu falls. Buenos Aires was also a fantastic city. (more)Our holiday met our expectations and we had a wonderful time. Now we'll recoup and plan the next one! (more)Visiting Machu Picchu was the most memorable part of the holiday...Excellent. The service was always reliable and efficient. (more)Watching 50+ red mackaws gather in the Tambopata National Reserve was the most memorable part of this trip. Everyone who took care of us was local and, apart from being very friendly, they always made clear how important tourisim to their local well-being.
(more)I enjoyed it thoroughly... The local country guides were amazing. Iguazu Falls are totally "wow".I have never seen such amazing falls and just didn't want to leave. (more)The human, non-commercial elements were as rewarding as the fixed features like Machu Picchu, Islas Ballestas, Nazca, Titicaca; the chance to explore, interact, share a joke, have fun, bargain, to understand the frustrations and limitations, to take part in local living, if only briefly (more)
Trekking the Inca trail was fantastic, it exceeded all my expectations. The porters were superhuman n the tour leaders superb. It is the best experience I have had so far.
(more)Uyuni Salt Flats as it was amazing and of course Machu Pichu... despite climbing and barely seeing it from the Sun Gate, the clouds eventually lifted. I also loved the town of Cuzco and Punta Sal in Peru. (more)
