Journey Latin America / Journeyscape Traveller Reviews

We started in Santiago and followed this by travelling through Argentina via internal flights. We stayed in a winery outside Mendoza, a hotel in Buenos Aires and then around Puerto Iguassu, firstly in an eco-lodge and then in the Sheraton by the falls. We ended our stay in Rio. At each place we had private transfers to the hotel and everything went very smoothly. The tours in each city were excellent and we had a wonderful trip.

Our tour operator did everything we could have asked for and booked excellent tours in the countries.

As far as honeymoon's go it's hard to beat. Had everything from mountain hikes to playing volleyball on the beach. Adventure of a lifetime

Very helpful and knowledgeable throughout

Started in Santiago and Valparaiso, then we moved down to Punta Arenas and entered Patagonia proper at Lago Grey. A boat trip up to the glacier was a must & didn't disppoint. We moved onto El Calafate and the Perito Moreno glacier - again amazing. Then a spell in Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego, finishing in Buenos Aires.

Journey Latin America - took care of everything and all was very organised and well thought through

This is the first time we had visited Costa Rica & we needed help as we lacked knowledge of where best to visit & what to see. We are not fond of coach trips, prefering our independence & JLA were the only company we found that offered a self drive with accommodation booked in advance. Our trip was enjoyable & has given us the confidence that we could now arrange another visit independently.

Very helpful & no problems making arrangements for us. Kept us updated with changes & also found out information on accommodation as requested.

Just a fantastic trip of contrasts from Montevideo, Colonia del Sacramento, Buenos Aires, Mendoza, Iguassu, Rio and Parati. From the Barrios to upmarket suburbs, to the Falls, to viniculture to colonial towns and then there was Rio.

Everything was organised and ran like clockwork. All our personal difficulties were overcome.

A day in Quito with a guided tour, seven days on the Eclipse cruise boat visiting eight different islands, three days at the Finch Bay Hotel on Santa Cruz, Galapagos, a day in Guayaquil walking on our own. It was one of our best holidays, the absolute highlight being the Eclipse cruise. Exceptional service, fascinating visits to the islands with knowledgeable guides, and very memorable snorkelling. Excellent organisation by Journey Latin America in association with Metropolitan Touring.

Itinerary put together quickly and effectively, modified exactly as required in light of our comments / requests. Timely provision of documentation which was informative and helpful. Very rapid response to request for help when we were on the tour.

A 3 week journey from Santiago to Buenos Aires, taking in the lake district and Torres del Paine in Chile, lakes and glaciers, Mount Fitzroy area in Argentina, topped and tailed with the big cities. Variety of experiences along the way, made most enjoyable by the friendliness of the people, especially in Chile. and the excellence of the food/wine. Walking in the Patagonian landscape gives a real back to nature feel, miles away from the world with only nature to enjoy.

Everything worked, according to plan.

We travelled during three weeks visiting extremely interesting natural areas of the North of Argentina: Esteros del Ibera, Iguazu, Salta & the NorthWest (including an amazing journey on the Tren a la Nubes, climbing 300 metres!) and a most beuatiful and relaxing Estancia in the Cordoba hills.

Journey Latin America (JLA) understood our needs and preferences very well and recommended an excellent itinerary. It was obvious that our JLA representative knew the country (Argentina) well, including the suggested accommodation options. The holiday was a great success.

We flew to Santiago then on to Easter Island for 3 nights, where the arranged tours gave us a really good feel for the island, its history and culture - a truly memorable experience. Returning to Santiago we joined the "Tangara: Blue lakes and emerald coasts" tour. It was an outstanding introduction to South America offering an insight into the iconic sights of Buenos Aires, Iguazu and Rio, along with stays in some less visited places in all 3 countries. Our stay in each one left us with great memories.

Everything was very well planned with a surprising amount of flexibilty in the daily schedule allowing us to see more than we expected. Our tour leader Max was outstanding, working tirelessly to ensure that everybody in the group got the maximum from the trip. Based on our experience we would highly recommend JLA and will certainly seriously consider travelling with them again.

A memorable holiday, with 2 days in each of several locations, all of which gave us a great experience

Great organisation and a fantastic tour leader in Max Wood.
