This was a fantastic trip - we were extremely lucky with the weather which was perfect for the entire trip and most unusual for the region. There are a lot of 'extras' on this trip but all are very worthwhile - I particularly enjoyed the trip to see the Penguins and the walk to the base of the Torres del Paine. We had an exceptional guide whose attention to detail and care for all our needs, ensured we had the very best experience we could. One negative - the accommodation in Buenos Aires was poor compared to the rest.

Overall, a wonderful trip! The pace is fast and the amount of things provided to do was very good. I would have liked to have spent a little more time in Guatemala and Honduras to get a feel for those countries (I can't really say that I have seen them on this trip) yet overall, it was a wonderful time with amazing people and beautiful locations.

Trip of a lifetime to see eager animals up close. Our guide Milton made sure we were intimately familiar with all of them by the end of our voyage. The food, crew, boat, guide, weather, and animals couldn’t be any better.
