Latin Routes are very helpful and genuine people who arranged a superb South American adventure for us.They based the trip on places that we wanted to visit and made additional great suggestions. They also arranged all the accommodation and travel for us.Unfortunately coronavirus necessitated us to have to leave Argentina asap and despite the rapidly deteriorating and worrying situation Latin routes made at short notice all the arrangements for us to return to UK safely just before Argentina was shut down. They kept us informed at all times in a calm and supportive manner. Latin Routes are a truly professional company -superb service and I could not recommend them more highly.

We have just returned from a 5 destination trip to Argentina & Brazil arranged by their repFrom the start the organising was so impressive, their rep really put her self out to understand what our interests were and came up with many suggestions that we had not thought of. Having agreed an itinerary she then went the extra mile to find places of special interest to us at the destinations chosen. It really was a tailor made holiday. This included a programme of 9 flights, a couple of them involved two a day. A bit daunting given connections - it all worked seamlessly - I have to say both the Argentina and the Brazilian airlines put our cut price operators to shame with modern aircraft, on time and clean and efficient airports and toilet facilities and staff that smile! All the hotels chosen were exactly as expected, clean with efficient staff. Knowledgeable guides and tours. From icebergs in Patagonia to night skys to die for in The Pantanal, Iguassu Falls, tango's in B. A. and samba's in Rio. Word of warning - it's not Europe, don't expect everyone to speak English - they won't but that's the joy of travel!. Do organise guides - you would miss so much otherwise. Couldn't fault it - Thank you Latin Routers

Our honeymoon stay in Rio was amazing. The hotel and location was perfect. This was by far the best holiday we have been on. The service we received from Latin Routes was great. Every part of our trip was organised and well planned. We were kept up to date with any changes and they always kept in touch to make sure we were happy with everything. I would definitely recommend Latin Routes to anyone who wants to travel to South America.

Our trip to Argentina and Chile was truly spectacular. Before contacting Latin Routes we had a good idea of where we wanted to visit but our consultant was very well informed from personal experience. He suggested hotels / estancias that were definitely to our requirement and taste and a suitable itinerary to follow so that we could see everything that we wanted to. He was also willing to change our itinerary and supplement our plans as appropriate. Highlights included Igazu Falls both Brazil and Argetinian sides but be prepared for a soaking, the most amazing cruise on the Stella Australis a small cruise ship with extremely well informed guides with excellent food and accommodation. Torres Del Paine national park a splendid and remote location ideal for walking and winding down. We visited El Calafate to see the Perito Morena glacier, a point to make here is that there is the option to trek on the glacier which needs to be booked before hand, this was not pointed out to us. Next stop Peninsula Valdez and the Estancia Rincon Chico. An idyllic remote location with lots of wildlife / sea life on the doorstep. We thoroughly recommend this estancia : they were truly welcoming hosts and excellent guides. The whale watching boat trip is a must. We were sad to leave to return to Buenos Aires. We spent a couple of days exploring this vibrant city, a Tango night is also another must. A memorable, if exhausting, adventure. Looking forward to planning the next one.

The planning process is half the fun of foreign travel. When considering an adventure to unfamiliar territory, its good to have expert advice. My wife and I are just back from Chile and Argentina, following an itinerary crafted to our preferences by Latin Routes. We had the opportunity to discuss our options and had a lot of constructive, expert advice. As might be expected, some places we visited pleased us more than others: Overall, our holiday was an unqualified success. I wholeheartedly recommend Latin Routes to anyone planning a South American adventure.

My husband has always had a notion to go to South America but has never done anything about it. I decided as it was a big occasion (his 70th) I would book it without telling him until it was all sorted. It turned out to be better than I expected and he loved it after he got over the shock. We had a delay initially and this was sorted and new flights arranged by Latin Routes, no problem. In Buenos Aires, the Tango evening was outstanding. We enjoyed walking around BA and didn't feel in any way threatened. We found the Blue Pound issue to b e particularly interesting! Igazu was great. We were met by a guide who helped us immensely. We visited both sides of the Falls. We found the Brazillian side had a better view. After that we went to Mendoza. The hotel there was in a vineyard and was fantastic. Beautiful restaurant. Then we had a hired car arranged by Latin Routes. We had a problem there because the documentation for travelling to Chile was not arranged. Eventually it got sorted out after a few hours! This was our only hiccup. We drove over the Andes to Santiago. A bit scary but unforgettable. This was when we realised that having a guide was a big bonus as we had trouble finding our hotel in the rush hour and also by smoothing our way through the borders. Santiago was very busy and we left our car in the hotel car park until we had to return to Mendoza. From there we travelled to El Calafete which at first we found to be a bit Hicksville. We had hired a car again and went to the Glacier. Again outstanding. Then to the piece de resistance. Torres del Paine. We didn't know what to expect here but it was awesome. Loved everything about it. The trips, hotel, scenery, weather were fab. We would thoroughly recommend it. We were able to meet other travellers there and chat and everyone agreed that this had been their best experience. Then back to Buenos Aires for three nights. We visited the Opera House which was majestic. The market on Sunday at San Telmo was worth a visit. All in all, we were very happy with the service provided by Latin Routes and hopefully may use them again.

We booked a 2 week holiday to Argentina and Brazil arranged for us by Latin Routes. I must say it was a holiday of a life time! Firstly it was an absolute pleasure to work with the lady I dealt with, she had a lot of knowledge about the areas we wanted to visit and this was invaluable to us being first timers in South America. She understood immediately what elements of a holiday we required and produced a perfect itinerary within a very short time frame. Also when I changed the hotels numerous times, she was also very accommodating and suggested several alternatives to meet our needs and budget. All the arrangements were perfectly organised, this included our transfers, boutique hotels, tour guides and excursions. This contributed as much to the holiday as the destinations themselves. We were pleased to have Latin Routes support when we needed some information about flight upgrades and they responded very quickly to our request. We had the best time in South America and would like to say a big thank you to the lady I dealt with and Latin Routes for organising such a memorable vacation. We would definitely use them again and recommend them to our friends and family. A very professional company and lovely staff.

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)  

We chose Latin Routes as they gave us the flexibility to include in our holiday to Argentina a visit to the farm and estancia in Bariloche built by grandfather 80 years ago. They also arranged for us to see the director of the local museum, complete with translator to find out more about our family history. In addition to Patagonia our Latin Routes holiday included Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Mendoza and an amazing three day drive through the Andes mountains of the North West. Latin Routes arranged flights, car hire and accommodation for the whole 17 day trip, all of which were top notch. The next time we choose South America as a holiday destination, it will definitely be with Latin Routes.

We booked with Latin Roots for our 3 weel honeymoon in Argentina and we were certainly not disappointed. From the moment we enquired our Latin Roots agent made us feel like we'd made the right choice. They helped us plan the route around Argentina and recommended great accommodation and day trips. They really couldn't do enough to help and everything was thought of. We had a wonderful time which simply would not have been possible without Latin Roots help.

We choose a three centre stay, Buenos Airies, Iguazu falls & Mendoza(the wine area). At all points we were asked by an advisor how we wanted to do our trips and where we wanted to stay. The hotel & half day tour of Buenos Aries by Gus were brilliant. She had given us a hotel that meant we could walk easily around the city & find all the character, steak and free tango that the city is famed for. We then took a cab( very easy) to the domestic city airport for a LAN flight to Iguazu. LAN are part of the one world alliance & have a fantastic snack pack of Havanna biscuits on their domestic short haul-I would recommend this company. We then stayed in the most amazing jungle hotel-complete with tropical birds & strong mossie nets. She arranged for us to see the falls on two different days. I would definitely recommend this as words cannot describe the impact of what you see. 1day Argentina, 1. Day Brazil. It really is a benefit to go with a guide as they sort out all the customs & park passes for you. They can also book you on the grand adventure-not to be missed! Onto Mendoza on late night LAN (great staff made sure we got there despite a baggage handlers strike). She gave us 3 places to choose from-we were staggered by the beauty of our choice when we arrived. A small vineyard hotel with a jacuzzi overlooking the Andes & nightly wine tasting! The wine tour we went on was brilliant fun-with an excellent guide. A very social & enjoyable trip that included lunch in a vineyard. We also visited the vineyard of the hotel we stayed in-wonderful. One more night of fun in B. A and then home on BA! The joy of a direct flight-I think it is a false economy to go cheaper as it will invariably mean that you waste holiday time sitting in transit lounges. A memorable & hugely enjoyable holiday that felt like 3 trips in one! I would totally recommend Latin Routes for their excellent suggestions, knowledge about the areas. Excellent service both before, during and after. Muchas Gracias!

We have not yet had our holiday to Chile/Argentina/Brazil but if the quality service and efficiency of the planning to confirmation is anything to go by then it will be a smooth and fantastic experience. Latin Routes turned our initial musings and chat at a travel show into an impressive and detailed itinerary in less than a week. We made a number of subsequent changes and additions to what will be a 6 week trip and everything was dealt with in the same courteous and efficient manner. They get the balance right in offering their expert knowledge and tailoring the holiday for your particular preferences. Much better service than other companies we have used for S.America, OZ, NZ.

Visited Chile in March 2014, the staff at Latin Routes were able to offer a tailor made trip at the most competitive price. Our endless requests were always promptly accommodated and every aspect of the trip was carefully planned to satisfy our (picky!) travellers needs. Local agent was not as good and let us down a couple of times but thankfully the staff at LR were able to follow up on our behalf and resolve the issues. If you are looking for a reliable tour operator, I would definitely recommend Latin Routes.

We have just returned from a very enjoyable holiday in Argentina and Brazil arranged for us by the advisor at Latin Routes. It was a pleasure to work with her who has lived and worked in South America and we certainly benefitted from her great knowledge of Argentina and its tourist industry. She understood very quickly what elements of a holiday we required and produced a perfect itinerary, including hotels, in less than 24 hours – we have never finalised a holiday so quickly! During our time away all arrangements fell into place; our transfers were on time and the chosen boutique hotels reflected different aspects of Argentinian culture, contributing as much to the holiday as the destinations themselves. We were pleased to have Latin Routes support when a local airline cancelled our flight and they quickly contacted their South American associates who made alternative arrangements to get us to our destination with a minimum of delay. We had a great holiday in South America and thank Latin Routes for putting it together for us.

We travelled to Argentina and Brazil with Latin Routes in March 2014. This was our first trip to South America and although I have organised holidays independently in the past, I was a little bit daunted about arranging this on my own. I contacted several travel companies and Jess was the first to respond with a phone call to get a clearer idea of where we wanted to go and what we wanted to get out of the holiday. Within a couple of days I had received an itinerary and quote, which Jess was then more than happy to tweak repeatedly until we were completely happy. Once we had booked we were still able to book additional excursions and Jess was always happy to answer questions and provide information. A few weeks before we were due to leave one of our internal flights was cancelled. This was dealt with extremely efficiently and with minimal effort on our part and with very little disruption to our original itinerary. The day before we left I received a phone call to check everything was ok and an email with restaurant recommendations. There was a welcome letter waiting for us on arrival and when we emailed with a question while away we received a prompt and helpful response. I then received a follow up call once we returned to make sure we had enjoyed our holiday. All in all we received an excellent service from start to finish. All the hotel choices were perfect, we were picked up from every airport by friendly drivers and all the arrangements worked perfectly. We had an incredible holiday and I would not hesitate to use Latin Routes again if I was ever lucky enough to return to Argentina.
