Our Peru adventure was truly magical in so many ways. We met a great bunch of fellow travellers, enjoyed the local history, culture and cuisines, and fulfilled a long held ambition to trek the classic route to Machu Picchu.

We had a great trip. It was an amazing way to see a country in a short space of time on a limited budget. It didn't feel like being rushed about - we had a nice amount of free time and alone time to do our own things. Our group was really special and really added to my experience.

Travel from Lima to Cusco on a 20-day adventure that blends nature, culture, modern cities and ancient worlds.

Watch Andean condors soar over Colca Canyon at sunrise, see the mind-boggling Nazca Lines and sip Pisco sours as you acclimatise in Cusco. On this trip, you'll taste a little bit of everything Peru has to offer.

As an ex trolley dolly I would consider myself a seasoned traveller used to travelling independently. Taking my 11 year old daughter on this trip of a lifetime gave me back my sense of adventure and has inspired her to globe trot. I met an American on a rickety boat in Thailand 20 years ago - he told me to visit Costa Rica as it was beautiful - well he was wrong, it is the most beautiful and magical country I have ever visited!!!!!!!!!!

Few destinations rival the Galapagos for up-close encounters with wildlife and this eight-day adventure cruise focuses on all the stars of the show. This boat trip is free of detours, overnight stopovers and passengers joining or leaving throughout, so you can stay on the ship and focus on the wildlife, landscapes and experiences. Venture to remote parts of the archipelago – the west coast of Isla Isabela and Isla Fernandina – to see all the best these islands have to offer. Snorkel with sea lions and reef sharks off Isla Santa Cruz and Isla Bartolome, spy frigatebirds, boobies and pelicans soaring above North Seymour and stroll among land iguanas and flightless cormorants on volcanic Punta Espinosa.

Simply the best trip I have ever been on. I did not want to come home! The leader made everything happen with no hitches - and encouragement for a slightly trepidatious snorkeller! As for the Galapagos - Wow! I think that that the trip, being landbased, allowed us to experience so much more, meet more locals and eat local food and just soak up the atmosphere - on the beaches or in the bar!!

Highlights of Costa Rica was an excellent trip, it packed in many sites and activities. I was a little apprehensive about the float trip but it was slow and gentle and allowed us to get a unique view from the river. The guide was excellent and pointed out lots of aniand birds. The rain and cloud forests didn't disappoint and I thoroughly enjoyed the fast paced trip.
