Our first South American adventure - a great success!

Now that the Christmas & New Year festivities are over there is time to write a review worthy of the South American holiday experience we recently enjoyed in late Nov/early Dec - all exceedingly well planned and organised for us by Latin Routes. 15 days were spent exploring 5 different locations - a great combination of busy cities (Buenos Aires & Rio), the magnificent Iguazu Falls on the border of Argentina and Brazil, and 2 very relaxing yet different locations - a beautiful ranch in the countryside outside of Córdoba (Estancia Dos Lunas - where we were treated like royalty!) and the Brazilian beach peninsula of Buzios. The detailed plan and itinerary for our individual holiday (with photos of all of our hotels) was provided to us in booklet form well beforehand - this was really appreciated and useful for reference. We were a little dubious about using the overnight buses on our travels within Argentina, but this was unfounded as they proved to be both reliable and comfortable, we slept well and during the daylight hours saw more of the country than an airport lounge permits! All of the representatives who met us at airports/bus stations were on time, and helpful and knowledgeable with regard to any queries we had. The hotels chosen were well located for sightseeing and true to description. We will long remember the warmth and welcoming nature of the South American people.
We're keen to return to explore other areas of South America in the future as it has so much to offer, and would definitely approach Latin Routes to pull together our holiday plans again. We have no hesitation in recommending this holiday company to others - you won't be disappointed - excellent value!
(Note:- The above-mentioned holiday was to have been taken at the end of 2013, but due to an unfortunate accident a few weeks before departure which resulted in the need for surgery, it had to be cancelled and re-scheduled We were very grateful to Latin Routes and impressed by their prompt return of the appropriate proportion of paid funds due to us and the required confirmatory paperwork to enable the claim to be processed speedily - an indication of the helpful and accommodating nature of this company should a problem occur)
