Journey Latin America / Journeyscape Traveller Reviews

Brilliant holiday taking the n 4 countries and numberous attractions

Well organised nothing too much trouble

Privately designed for two we visited the Nazca Lines, took the Trogon organised group tour to the Pantanal, visited Salvador and then took a riverboat from Manaus along the Rio Negra

Journey Latin America is the best operator in South America I have been o .three of their tours and have found each one outstanding

We spent a few days in Quito, Otavalo, the Cloud Forest at Mindo, then down to Cotopaxi National Park, and to Cuenca via Riobamba. We had a brilliant guide with us most of the way and an experienced driver.

JLA helped us plan our trip and were very sensitive to our specific requirements. They also worked with an excellent local partner Tropic who provided an outstanding guide and experienced driver.

Bespoke tour taking in Ica and the Nazca lines, the remote and stunning Lares valley before revisiting Machu Pichu and a wonderful Amazon experience on a boat in the Reserva Nacional papaya-Samaria

True Latin America experts

Very well organised tour, superb local guides and tour leader, covering a lot of ground very easily and covering a lot of culture eg Inca and religious history as well as nature eg Iguazu Falls and the modern life of all the countries eg Rio and La Paz and sampling a lot of delicious food.

This was a tour delayed by Covid for years and they reorganised lots of things eg dealing with border closures but also flights issues pretty seamlessly and always proactively getting clear and straightforward options so I could decide things by simple e mail exchanges. The best tour operator on this kind of tour I have used.

From the start to finish of our holiday, we (group of 4) simply had so much fun. We had the experience of four different habitats and varied modes of transportation. The wild life, flora and fauna in its natural way was simply so enriching, mind blowing and you could not have expected any more from the two weeks in a place where you can easily lose yourself. The warm hospitality and friendliness from everyone we came in contact with will always linger in my heart. There was nothing too much for them to assist with. Always wanted to do more. The food was really good considering beans and rice is their staple morning, noon and night however, when you ventured out, it was not the case. The spices, flavours and freshness of the ingredients made waves in your mouth. Totally unexpected and hugely appreciated. We thought we would see more sloths however, we cannot be more thankful to our guides for locating 10 for us to see. White water rafting was my personal favourite as it was simply a experience to be had. Kayaking through the mangroves and discovering the zillions of bird species made wading through so worthwhile. Snorkelling with turtles and barracudas was a great highlight too and watch an ant eater climb down a tree was spectacular. What an amazing holiday and thank you to Chris and JLA team for making dreams come true!

Chris Rendell Dunn understood our requirements and put together a sensational itinerary. With having our itinerary on Vamoos allowed us t share our daily posts with our family and friends too. What a great app!

We visited the Iguazu Falls, Atacama Desert, stayed in an Airstream on the Bolivian Salt Flats and finished with 5 days on Easter Island. The whole trip was fabulous with so many wow moments.

We originally planned the trip before covid then had to put it on hold. Sophie Barber from JLA did a great job pulling everything together after so many things (eg flight schedules) had changed in the interim. Sophie used her wealth of knowledge about South America to help us plan a trip that was truly exceptional.

This was a trip to see specific sights and JLA tailored our trip to meet this. Top of the list was Easter Island. Our trip there was fantastic, excellent trips and brilliant guide. Way surpassed our expectations. Then it was off to the Chilean Lake District to do an Andean crossing into Argentina. The trip was streamlined despite it involving two cars, 3 buses and 3 boats. Once in Argentina we had a private trip to go and see condors in Patagonia. We achieved this and loved Patagonia. Then it was off to Iguazu and no words or pictures could capture this place. A fantastic end to a fantastic holiday.

They worked really hard to achieve the trip we wanted. All of the flights, transfers, trips snd hotel were perfect. Would definitely use them again.

We visited Tortuguero National Park, Tirimbina Lodge and Reserve at Sarapiqui, Arenal area, Nosara, Monteverde and San Jose. We stayed in beautiful hotels, took numerous trips with local guides, and had a hire car for all of our trip except to Tortuguero.

JLA advised on and organised the whole trip and did an excellent job. All went like clockwork, all the hotels and activities and guides were excellent, and we had a fabulous time.

We had a fantastic trip to Ecuador. There was so much to see in this relatively small country. The Hacienda Zuleta was lovely, La Selva Eco Lodge was wonderful, Quito was interesting and the Galapagos Islands were amazing.

Very good communication throughout the process. We had a few problems with our room reservations although to be fair we are not sure they were the fault of the UK agent but were possibly down to the ground handler in Ecuador - Tropic.
