Journey Latin America / Journeyscape Traveller Reviews

Journey Latin America designed a custom itinerary blending history, nature, culture and music. Their expertise enabled two senior citizens with limited Spanish to travel seamlessly across northern Colombia. We saw historic Cartagena, Mompos, Santa Marta and Valledupar. We hiked in Tayrona National Park along scenic forest trails to distant beaches, seeing monkeys, lizards, birds and leaf-cutter ants. We viewed many bird species on a boat excursion on the Magdalena River. We attended the Vallenato music festival in Valledupar, purchasing unique indigenous handmade products and enjoying local food specialties. In each city, our guides shared their knowledge of colonial history and important sites. Our drivers enabled us to travel from city to city with confidence and comfort. Highest praises!

Journey Latin America devoted extra effort to building a custom tour devoted to our particular interests. Each hotel and excursion was outstanding.

I had a very memorable holiday in the Guiana's with Journey Latin America. The sights were impressive and I'm glad I visited those countries. The tour leader was very good.

Unfortunately the price of the tour - the highest I've ever paid for any group tour - was not reflected in the quality of services delivered, in particular hotels and transport used on multiple occasions. The planned logistics and timings were also poor at times leading to a substandard experience.

A superb two and a half weeks trip to Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Salta, Purmamarca and Mendoza. A real contrast between the bustling city and the unspoilt landscapes of the north west, and then a few days enjoying Argentinian wine surrounded by the vineyards of Mendoza

Journey Latin America (JLA) pulled together an excellent itinerary based on our initial suggestions and was able to advise exactly what would be the best route and how long to spend in each location. The in country arrangements were excellent and the local guides and drivers were always on time, always helpful and took all the stress away from us. The true value of dealing with a professional operator was perfectly demonstrated when during our trip a general strike was called in Argentina which impacted our travel arrangements. JLA took care of everything and rebooked flights, accommodation and transfers so there were no issues for us to deal with. We would not hesitate to rebook with JLA again.

Two week trip to Colombia, visiting Bogota, the coffee region, Medellin and Cartagena. Excellent excursions. Hotels variable.

We have been fans of JLA over many years (40+), travelling around Latin America. The trips have usually been good and delivered what was promised.

The whole trip from start to finish, the organising in the office from Lina to Diego (Tour Leader) and Douglas (Driver) was absolutely, seamless, professional, and a joy to spend time with. The trip - I saw lush rainforests with towering trees and hummingbirds buzzing. Ziplining through mystical cloud forests. Close encounters with many wildlife. Visited the most active volcano and the highest volcano in Costa Rica. Strolled along wild beaches. Saw brightly coloured poison dart frogs, poisonous yellow eyelash vipers, howler monkeys, toucans, macaws and sloths in the treetops, caimans and crocodiles in the rivers, lagoons and mangroves, and a wide array of flora and fauna. The ever changing microclimates, took a while to get used to! Not to forget crossing the continental divide. And we got to see the rare male and female quetzal birds in their natural habitat! Met some lovely people along the way.. Perfect trip all round.... Pura Vida

I have used JLA for the past 10 years.

History, geography, culture and experiences all so different. Lovely people

Well organised trip and careful, prompt and pro-active management before and during the trip

An outstanding guided tour through Chilean and Argentinian Patagonia and some major cities.

Efficient, knowledgeable, organised, helpful, informative, reliable

We flew to Santiago, and the following day travelled on to Explora San Pedro de Atacama. Following our stay here, we moved on to Tierra Hotel Chiloe, then Explora Parque National Patagonia, before travelling on to Explora Torres del Paine. After this we travelled onto Explora El Chalten , before spending two days in Buenos Aires prior to flying home.

Sophie Barber at Journey Latin America designed and planned this trip for us. We have dealt with Sophie for many years, and she has arranged several trips for my wife and I. Sophie is by far and away the most professional and knowledgeable travel expert we have dealt with. Her knowledge of Latin America is superb, and whenever you ask her anything about the Continent, she provides the answer immediately. We would not use any other Company for trips to Latin America.

This tour was an excellent mix of culture, history and Nature. Our tour leader Jessica was amazing and ensured we had a brilliant time. Guatemala and Belize are beautiful and interesting countries and the Kinkajou tour from Journey Latin America gives you a lovely opportunity to experience some of the highlights. Transport, hotels and itinerary are excellent value

Journey Latin America Kinkajou group tour was excellently organised. Pre trip their travel exert Carrie patiently answered my questions and gave great advice. The tour leader Jessica was exceptional- friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.. she took us to the best restaurants and organised some great additional activities

Fabulous days Quito prior to going to the Galapagos. Probably could have had one or two more days here. The Elite was superb as our expedition boat. Crew wonderful, food amazing, generous with snacks and juices hot towels and hot chocolate post snorkels. Naturalist guide excellent - knowledgable and passionate. The terrain is quite challenging and it may be helpful to outline more clearly what level of fitness is required. I have Parkinson’s disease and whilst I did pretty much everything, I did need quite a lot of help.

Journey Latin America were well organised, responsive to needs and had excellent pre holiday information. Their app works very well
