Peaks and Plains of Patagonia by CharlesB , 25 Mar 2024
Holiday Rating:

Places to broaden the mind.

We travelled through Patagonia and saw scenery and sites that we could not have imagined. The people and the variety made for an utterly memorable experience. It’s more than a holiday.

JLA made sure all that needed to happen did. And inevitable hiccups were sorted without fuss. Every location was of real interest and our dip into the Andes was fascinating.

Fabulous trip to Argentina

We spent three weeks in South America, travelling from Buenos Aires to Ushuaia, through El Calafate, El Chalten and the Torres del Paine National Park in Chile. We even managed a trip to Colonia in Uruguay. Sophie, our agent at JLA listened to our wishes and put together an excellent itinerary with just the right amount of time in each area. Our plans we almost disrupted by an airline national strike however Sophie was able to sort everything ...

We even managed a trip to Colonia in Uruguay. Sophie, our agent at JLA listened to our wishes and put together an excellent itinerary with just the right amount of time in each area. Our plans we almost disrupted by an airline national strike however Sophie was able to sort everything on our behalf and we were able to enjoy our holiday without any worries. Accommodation was very good and transfers and internal travel arrangements went without a hitch. A wonderful holiday in a beautiful part of the world.

Central America discovery by Colin, 12 Mar 2024
Holiday Rating:

Great cross-country mix to discover Central America in all its glory

6 countries in 3 weeks ? Easy with JLA and they throw in a couple of extra border crossings to give you more than 5 sets of passport stamps !

Rating for tour operator:

JLA goes for depth nog breadth - sticking to Central and South America rather than offering the whole world as too many of their peers do. . Keep it up !

Amazing from start to finish

We did a self drive in Ecuador and a cruise in the Galapagos. Every day was memorable. The whole holiday was well organised. All our daily information was clear and all our local guides were friendly, helpful and informative.

Good tour giving us a great insight into the country, its history, people and scenery.

Memorable tour of South America

Combining some of the best sights of Chile and Argentina using a mix of flights and (surprisingly comfortable) local busses.

JLA provided a group leader and local guides (most of whom were excellent) so that we could get the most out of our holiday. The accommodation was fairly basic but generally met our needs.

Amazing seventeen days in South America

We enjoyed a wonderful small group discovery holiday with JLA, visiting highlights in Chile, Argentina and Brazil. The whole trip was cafefully worked out and although it was a jam packed schedule, we would not have wanted to miss any part of it!

From the moment we spoke to Millie at JLA about a possible trip to South America until the moment we left our wonderful group leader at the end of our adventure , we knew we were in safe hands .Our guide was exceptional and everything went without a hitch, it was totally carefree from our perspective.
