Wonderful places. Wonderful people.

Peru lived up to expectations. Bolivia exceeded them. Chile was OK.

Journey Latin America organised the ground arrangements for this trip including all accommodation, car hire and some excursions. Journey Latin America were excellent at sorting this out efficiently especially since we had left it to the last moment and Cuba is relatively full of tourists all trying to see the country before more major changes and the Americans start to arrive. the local support from Latin America Travel was excellent and we had some great tour guides. We stayed in excellent casas and OK hotels (the beach resort at the end looked a little sad). Driving was sometimes a bit too exciting (the roads are bad and horses and carts come at you all directions) but it meant we got right off the beaten track. Overriding memories of the music, dancing, old American cars and friendly people.

Three weeks in Nicaragua and El Salvador

This was a great mix of town and country, introducing us to the culture and people of two less known Central American countries.

Rating for tour operator:

This was an off-the-shelf private tour, but JLA were very helpful in tweaking it to meet our specific requests.

Travelling through Mexico

I spent three weeks travelling around Mexico, from the Chihuahua-El Pacifico Railway through the stunning Barrancas del Cobre and on to the jungle ruins of Palenque and Coba, amazing Chichen Itcha and Tulum on the Caribbean, via five days in Mexico City - enough time to visit the incredible Teotihuacan, Tenochtitlan and the must-see Museo de Antropologie and Diego Rivera Murals in the Palacio Nacional. It's such a shame that most Britons' view ...

I spent three weeks travelling around Mexico, from the Chihuahua-El Pacifico Railway through the stunning Barrancas del Cobre and on to the jungle ruins of Palenque and Coba, amazing Chichen Itcha and Tulum on the Caribbean, via five days in Mexico City - enough time to visit the incredible Teotihuacan, Tenochtitlan and the must-see Museo de Antropologie and Diego Rivera Murals in the Palacio Nacional. It's such a shame that most Britons' view of Mexico is border issues with the US, El Chapo and drugs, and Cancun! None of them, frankly, are representative of the incredible country I visited and the wonderfully friendly and welcoming people I met.

Rating for tour operator:

This is my third trip with Journey Latin America and I can't recommend them highly enough. I had four weeks touring South America, taking in the Galapagos, Machu Picchu, Easter Island, Buenos Aires, Iguazzu Falls and Rio, and followed that with two weeks in Cuba, driving myself and doing home stays before a final few days in Havana (now the trade deal has been done with the US, get there before the Americans do with cultural invasion what they failed to do at the Bay of Pigs). And then this Mexico trip. JLA have been superb at arranging my itinerary, transfers and accommodation to fit in exactly with the things I wanted to do and see. Can't fault them at all, and like that they work with local businesses.

Honeymoon- Chile, Argentina and Brazil

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.

Patagonian Odeyssy by catgoms, 21 Dec 2015

Patagonia topped and tailed with equally thrilling locations

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.

Self Drive Costa Rica by Chris59, 20 Dec 2015

Self Drive in Costa Rica

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.
