Great way to see Bolivia, Chile and Argentina. The Bolivian Salt Flats were an unexpected highlight. So beautiful. Patagonia was also stunning. I really enjoyed understanding the lives of the indigenous people. Thank you.
Contrasts of Colombia definitely the right tour title. Trip was so different every day.
Catalina was fabulous, funny, informative, full of energy and took everyone's preferences into account. Especially loved the workshops and demonstrations.
The only minor spoilers foe me were that we didn't get to go to the leather workshop, the bus was too cramped (but sorted later for which we were all grateful), the red house was closed but again Cat arranged for bus to drop us there avoiding a long walk back.
This being said I loved the whole trip and have already recommended my friends book it.
This was my first G adventure. I did not know what to expect but I was very happy with the result. I loved how we got to see places that I never would have seen if I went on my own. I met a few really nice people that I am actually meeting up with New York City next month. I love how it was action packed with a little downtime as well. Rosa was great. She explained things and was very nice and sweet to deal with. I’d highly recommend the adventures.

Arturo was a fantastic leader and guide. Knowledgable, helpful, caring, experienced and amusing. This was my 11th Explore holiday and Arturo is up there with the best guides. The porters and cooks are heroes - we were very happy to tip them generously. The itinerary was perfect, though no one should underestimate the challenge of around ten hours walking on day three. Cusco hotel staff were fine but the layout around a central atrium means the rooms are very noisy. The hotel near Machu Picchu was lovely but the staff were rude, unhelpful and disinterested. Overall I’d fully recommend this trip - but be sure to get into shape beforehand and consider your kit carefully.
