Trips SouthAmerica

Very nice staff!

Sylvie is an amazing guide -- she gave us a lot of great information and was very kind. Loved walking through the downtown streets in Lima.

Great visit. We enjoyed the presentation and also looking at the stars outside. They guides there was very energetic!

Enjoyable day! We drove for about 2 - 3 hours with Leo and stopped in a few places along the way. The llama experience was incredible where we stopped and got a close up encounter feeding the llamas, vicunas and alpacas. Many thanks to Leo for doing that and for giving us clever photos we could take to make the visit memorable. Also enjoyed the Sacred valley tour and going up the structures. It was incredible and a great preview of Machu Picchu which was the next day.

Spectacular day! I've always known that Machu Picchu is one of the seven wonders of the world and I can see why. It was truly stunning. The travel logistics were very smooth with a car ride, train ride and then bus ride. Train ride with Peru Rail was very comfortable. We really enjoyed the tour with Leo and he gave us detailed explanations of Machu Picchu, Temple of the Sun, Temple for Pachamama etc. He showed us the detail of how the blocks align so well, the irrigation systems etc. -- it was so great to hear the stories from him. Return to Cusco was smooth.

Another great day. The drive to the lake was very smooth and it was fun to stop at a local place to eat in the morning and taste the local food. The hike itself was very nice - Leo was very kind as I was a bit slow (I am 58) and we took our time to get there. Enjoyed chatting with Leo about life, philosophy and our dreams for our families in the future. The lake itself was spectacular.

Leo did a wonderful job giving us a lot of the history and background of the Incas and pre-Inca times. We really enjoyed listening to him as we wanted an immersive experience in the local culture which he provided for us.

This was a special day. Our drive to Rainbow Mountain was great -- it was great to drive through the Andes, see the local villages and people living on the hills. Lots of llamas! Life in the hills is not easy but people seem to be happy and it was nice to see lots of smiles. Rainbow Mountain is 16,000 feet above sea level so it is a low oxygen environment. Having said that, it was great to hike and we took it nice and slow and it was a pleasant experience. The mountain is amazing and the colors are so beautiful - really worth visiting! We got some amazing pictures with llamas up there.

Great boat ride and seeing all the animals.

Enjoyed meeting Pablo and the walking tour was excellent. Really enjoyed the stop at the chocolate tasting place. Due to timing of our flights, our tour ended up in the late afternoon which was great because we got to see the city at night and it's beautiful!!

The hotel is off 5 mins walk to the centre. The room we had was quite small. Due to the design of the hotel, the room is quite hot and we had to open the door to allow air circulation. The hotel is a bite dated but the staff is great and helpful. The best thing of the hotel is its restaurant. The food is very good and priced very reasonable (actually, it is cheaper than the restaurants in the centre).

This hotel is in the middle of nowhere but perhaps there are not a lot of choices in the hight desert. It is dated and cold. It is cold because the hotel turn on and off the heat at certain time. They even shut off the power at night (without informing the guests). So you will not have light or wifi. Most rooms have a window facing the common corridor, when people talking in the corridor, you can hear everything. The hotel should have advised all guests to be quiet in the corridor. The dinner on the other hand is quite good.

We were staying there for 2 nights. It is supposed to be very highly rate hotel. Obviously, we are disappointed. The facilities are dated and you can see many things were fallen apart. The wifi doesn't work and there is no closet space in the room. The food in the restaurant is disappointed. The only saving grace is the staff. They are very helpful and nice.

The hotel/camp is very unique because the room is a yurt connected by walk ways to the main reception and restaurant. The best part is that you feel that you are in the nature and not being disturbed by other hotel guests. But since it is a yurt. you are subject to the nature as well because you will hear the rain and the wind (it is quite windy in Patagonia). All the staff are fantastic and helpful. The food for breakfast, lunch and dinner are very good. Many people chose not to go for activities to enjoy the facilities and lunch. In addition, the guides of the activities are also very wonderful. The only draw back for us is that we were waiting an hour at the airport for pickup even though they were informed of the plane arrival time. There is only 2 flights flying in Puerto Nateles everyday.

The hotel is dated and service is average. The breakfast is sad too.

We are staying in Hotel Mod, not Argentino because we were advised that Hotel Mod is better. Hotel Mod is about 6 blocks from the centre in a safe neighbourhood. The hotel is big but the service can be improved. The staff is good and helpful. The check in service is lengthy because you need to download the key app to your phone to open the room door. The restaurant in the hotel only provide breakfast and the breakfast is disappointed. They served a lot of canned fruit.

We were picked up from the hotel to a location not far away. We were provided with a translator to explain what we would see. It was a great experience because the guide provided a lot of information and answered all our questions through the translator. Unfortunately, we had a full moon and we could't see a lot of stars. At the end of the tour, we were provided with drinks and snacks.
