Highlights of Central America by Fran, 10 Dec 2017

Central American Adventure

I travelled through Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Belize, seeking out volcanoes and Mayan ruins - oh and a few luxury ecolodges to relax by the pool too. It was an amazing adventure, crossing borders by boat (the only traveller going through immigration & on the boat) and by light aircraft again just me and the pilot. I met loads of local people and a few other tourists, learning a bit of Spanish and lots about living in Central America...

Journey Latin America (JLA) arranged my trip, listening to my ideas and putting them into a coherent journey. Mine was a tailor made trip and I had 1 member of staff at JLA to liaise with, who was very knowledgeable and able to answer all my questions. I had all my information as hard copy, e-mail and on an app!

Rating for tour operator:

JLA - arranged an excellent itinerary of seeing the wildlife and overview of the 1982 wartime history of The Falkland Islands in 1 week. Having travelled with JLA before on a small group tour I was confident to travel on my own knowing JLA had arranged everything.

Signature Chile: Atacama by SimonJ, 6 Dec 2017
Holiday Rating:

Super Chilean Adventure

The Itinerary was what we had come up with to make the most of a 2 week trip in a difficult country to get around. Input and advice from LTA certainly helped to refine it and the advice not to do a self drive in Atacama proved to be sound. Inevitably there was a fair amount of travel and flight which eats into the time but despite that we packed a lot in. Starting with a night in Santiago before going to San Pedro de Atacama an a a number of ...

The Itinerary was what we had come up with to make the most of a 2 week trip in a difficult country to get around. Input and advice from LTA certainly helped to refine it and the advice not to do a self drive in Atacama proved to be sound. Inevitably there was a fair amount of travel and flight which eats into the time but despite that we packed a lot in. Starting with a night in Santiago before going to San Pedro de Atacama an a a number of pre arranged trips - deserts lakes Geysers, flamingo and thermal pools all backed by fantastic scenery and lovely accommodation. then off to Puerta Varas for a few days self drive. Maybe not our favourite location but the Casa Mollna was a beautiful stay and the Volcano walk memorable. Patagonia and Los Torres Del Paine really thrilled us with truly outstanding scenery although the number of visitors was something of a surprise and a trip to Laguna Azul provided a peaceful excursion. A day in Valpariso on the way home was a big contrast but we wouldn't have missed it. LTA organisation was key to making it so memeorable

Panorama of the Andes by CW352, 21 Nov 2017

Wonderful introduction to South America.

Journey Latin America provided an amazing holiday which was our first visit to South America. Our guide throughout the tour was fluent, knowledgeable, superbly organised and friendly. All of the local guides provided for the tours were also excellent. It was a "discovery" tour which they had warned would be brisk but it was very full on with limited down time and some very early starts and long days. From the point of initial enquiry to the ...

It was a "discovery" tour which they had warned would be brisk but it was very full on with limited down time and some very early starts and long days. From the point of initial enquiry to the completion of the holiday the company were spot on. They were recommended by friends and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

First time in South America

As a first taste of South America we were looking for a mixture of culture, scenery, towns and experiences. JLA did not disappoint. From dinning and dancing in Buenos Aires to crossing the Uyuni Salt Flats to Macchu Picchu it was very well organised with knowledgeable guides and an excellent tour leader all the way. Good accommodation and transport. We were well looked after everywhere and overall thought the holiday exceeded our expectations ...

Cuba beyond the beach by NickyB, 18 Nov 2017

A short touring trip to Cuba

Our fist visit to Cuba proved soo interesting and enjoyable - We started off with three days in Havana followed by a bus trip to Vignales in the west, then moved over to Trinidad in Central Cuba and then back to Havana before flying home. Enough to know a bit about the country and create a desire to return

Rating for tour operator:

Over the past 20 years we have had about 5 trips to Latin America (although it has been a number of years since our last one). True to form, when I wanted to book a trip to Cuba I just picked up the phone and asked Journey Latin America to "sort it please" And they did brilliantly. Every detail was thought of - it really was a stress free trip. The destinations, tour guides, the level of information, the amount of free time suited our interests and style of travel perfectly. Thank you
