Fabulous Trip!

Flew to Lima, from there to Cusco and on by train to Machu Picchu. From there back to Cusco and on by train (which was glorious) to Puno to stay on the shore of Lake Titicaca. While there we visited the Uros Islands. Next a morning drive took us across the border to Bolivia. We visited Copacabana, cruised on the lake, visited the Sun Island and then by road to La Paz where we saw the colonial buildings, witches market and rode the cable ...

While there we visited the Uros Islands. Next a morning drive took us across the border to Bolivia. We visited Copacabana, cruised on the lake, visited the Sun Island and then by road to La Paz where we saw the colonial buildings, witches market and rode the cable car to el alto. We then flew back to Lima and on to Iguassu to see the falls. That was followed by a week in the Pantanal, jaguar spotting at Porto Joffre and land based activities and Pousada Arraras . Finally we arrived in Rio and had 4 glorious days sightseeing and lazing on Copacabana beach!

Before I booked I had quite definite ideas of what the itinerary would be and from my first conversation with JLA they were really helpful in telling me what might not work and suggesting additions to get the best out of our trip. Their support in planning and booking was excellent. All our arrangements were perfect - all our guides/transfers were punctual, efficient and very friendly and helpful. Hotels and travel arrangements were excellent. I can't recommend Journey Latin America highly enough!

A varied, challenging and enriching tour

This tour of Peru and Bolivia covered a lot of ground and a range of interesting places and experiences. As well as Macchu Picchu, we saw other Incan and earlier sites, and had the opportunity to visit families on the Uros and the altiplano. The cities of Arequipa, La Paz and Cuzco provided a contrast. Overall it was a well-balanced and rewarding trip.

The holiday was very well managed, with all the arrangements working smoothly. The Journey Latin America tour leader, Daniele, was excellent, and the local guides were knowledgeable and friendly.

Best holiday ever!

A fabulous , perfect trip to Peru. All the arrangements made by Journey Latin America and their partners in Peru were excellent ...all the transfers and pick ups occurred on time, the guides were very good, every detail was attended to. Peru itself is magnificent, personal highlights being Machu Picchu , the Floating Islands of Uros on Lake Titticaca, and eating wonderful Ceviche in Lima.

Good but a bit rushed

Have been to most South American countries and now Colombia which believe, is most underrated and completely safe and people very gentle and friendly.

Trip was seamless as all airport and hotel meeting and greeting seamless, but not all hotels great. Not enough free time catered for, a bit rushed.
