South America Tours in March 2027

This trip is fantastic! The itinerary is varied and interesting, the country is beautiful. The hotels were extremely good, the Fundador being more basic than the rest. All the local guides were knowledgeable and helpful. Our guide throughout, Marcelo, was excellent. He was extremely efficient, seamlessly reorganising the programme in Patagonia when necessary due to local conditions. He was very knowledgeable and helpful, always looking out to see everyone was ok. He has a superb sense of humour, skilfully easing some early mornings, long days, and lots of travel. He definitely added to our experience, making it even more enjoyable and memorable.

It was a splendid introductory trip. The guides in each city were very good; the the cities themselves were fascinating. We chose our own restaurants which was easy. The museums were quite spectacular, and if you like art Botelo is a master of painting and sculpture. I must say I was confused about the preparatory organization, since it all seemed to be done on-line; and did not come together in a package for us until a few days before we arrived, but in the end the logistics were excellent. The cars and guides arrived on time at every stop, and the hotels were very good. So all in all, well done.

So many different types of experiences that it’s impossible to compare which is the favorite. The camaraderie of the group? The wine tastings? Ranches, farms, riding a horse? Big city sights? The moving dictatorship remembrance sites in Chile and Argentina? But I will say that Iguazú falls were spectacular!

Adventures in Patagonia was an amazing introduction to an incredible part of the planet, highly recommended with rewarding walks in some of the most interesting places on earth. Our group leader, Lucciano, was superb when walking, imparting vital as well as informative information or helping with the best places to eat in the evening or find the perfect ice cream. It was an experience that assaulted all the senses and left you feeling all the better for it.

We had a wonderful experience during the entire trip. Our tour manager, Ozzy, was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable and provided many insights into various parts of our trip. We couldn’t ask for a better tour manager. Our driver, Manuel, was exceptional and maneuvered our bus in tight quarters that seemed impossible. They were both very personable, professional and friendly. The only disappointment we had was with the lack of storage space (drawers and hangers/closet) in the rooms of the last two hotels we stayed at.

The tour was wonderful. It was planned down to the smallest detail. Our tour guide was awesome! I would highly recommend Collette use him when another trip to Costa Rica is planned. We saw and participated in a wide variety of activities which were wonderfully planned. The resorts we stayed in were excellent. I would recommend anyone traveling use Collette.
