I booked last minute and the company worked hard to meet my needs

Really enjoyed my holiday. It was my first trip to S. America. Everything worked very well with no hiccups.

we had to cancel!

all the pre-booking stuff was excellently handled by JLA but unfortunately I got a medical diagnosis that forced us to cancel just a week before departure. JLA have done what they could to retrieve some of the money we paid.

Essential Peru by Cusco dreamer, 13 Apr 2015

peruvian explorer for a non-spanish speaker

This was a whistlestop tour of the highlights of Peru - Lima, Arrequipa, Colca Canyon, Lake Titicaca, Cusco and Machu Picchu. We had at least two nights in each location. This gave us enough time to get a flavour of the different regions of Peru. We travelled by plane, air conditioned coach and luxury train, and stayed in comfortable hotels (no roughing it in hostels!).

Central America discovery by Aber Girl., 12 Apr 2015
Holiday Rating:

Wonderful 3 weeks.

We travelled through 6 Central American countries by road starting in Panama and ending in Guatamala. Wonderful scenery, great people and interesting histories. Despite all the cvil wars, each country has a lot to offer although they still seem somewhat unstable. This was an 'experience' holiday, quite tiring but worth every minute. The more you travel, the more you realise how little you have actually seen!

It was all perfect.

We spent 1 night in Lima, and then 3 nights in Cusco at the wonderful Inketerra La Casona hotel which was adored. We found Cusco and the surroundings just wonderful and a great place to acclimatise, ready for the amazing Machu Picchu experience. We would strongly recommend that people stay at the Sanctuary Lodge just outside the site...... amazing. We loved the Vistadome train rides too. We then returned to Cusco, and then eventually ...

Amazing Experience

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Cuba. Everything about Cuba is astonishing. We travelled around the western half of the island - Havana, Cienfuegos, Santa Clara, Trinidad and Vinales. We stayed in both hotels and homestays and had guided tours in each location. We really felt that we got to know the people and the country. The history, architecture, natural beauty and ambience of Cuba is truly amazing!

Mayan ruins & Central American wildlife

Generally went well after volcanic ash caused a delay; the Mayan ruins were very interesting but the wildlife opportunities were not quite as good as we had hoped.

JLA lacked a little current information & could have advised slightly better opportunities.

Great wildlife experience.

I saw a good variety of wildlife in two contrasting areas; the Ibera wetlands in the North and the Peninsula Valdes in the south.

The tour operator put me in touch and booked with two lodges I did not know about. Both were excellent.
