Argentina, Atacama & Andes - 20 daysFrom Buenos Aires set out on a wilderness adventure through Argentina, Bolivia, Chile and Peru, taking in the spectacular landscapes of the Andes mountains, the Atacama Desert and the shimmering Uyuni Salt Flats, culminating at magnificent Machu Picchu. Worldwide Touring20This was. fast paced tour with a surprise around every corner. It was fantastic to experience a part of the world I hadn't visited before. Our Guide Liz was fantastic at keeping us aligned to the itinerary and was extremely supportive. It was great to learn about the Inca empire and gain an insight on how the countries are today.
Peru Encompassed - 20 daysExplore the incredibly diverse country of Peru and three of its contrasting landscapes – the Andean mountains, the desert and the Amazon rainforest. Get a taste of Bolivia in La Paz, see condors soar over the Colca Canyon and discover the Lost City of Machu Picchu. Worldwide Touring20Overall tour was excellent, the only thing I would have liked is less time spent in Lima and especially La Paz. There is so much to see in Peru and Bolivia that I felt spending 3 days in La Paz was wasted. One day was enough. It was supposed to be 4 days but thank god the flight to Cusco had changed and that meant spending less time in La Paz and another day in Cusco which is much more interesting. Transport was good, when I went on a previous tour with your company, everytime we went on a long coach journey they supplied water. This tour didnt do that and it would have been a nice gesture to give out water whilst travelling such long distances. Food was excellent Tour guide was friendly and helpful Accommodation was overall excellent
