South America Nature and Bush Walks Tours 2024/2025

“This was to be our "holiday of a lifetime" - I was slightly concerned it might not live up to my expectations as I had wanted to visit Galapagos for many years. However I was not disappointed! Every day I thought it couldn't get any better, but it did. The wildlife was all fantastic. I didn't expect to do so much snorkelling, but it meant we were swimming with turtles, sealions, sharks and many colourful fishes :)”

“When this trip was advertised on the site at the end of last summer I booked straight away,something about this magical place appealed to me. Everything you see on the TV is there, it is all around you, from the first steps on the Islands you see Iguanas, Finches, Fly catchers with their brilliant yellows and oranges.Our first introduction to the Galapagos is a boat trip out to the locally known Kicker rock and our first snorkelling,our first Turtles, rays and for the lucky few even Shark.Blue footed boobies on the rocks, with Frigate birds filing the skies and Sea lions filling the seas.It was like everywhere you looked there was more to see and marvel at,birds so close Iguanas round almost every corner.Then came what we all wanted to see the Galapagos giant tortoises, the breeding programme is well established and it is great to see the work they are doing.After a few days and a change of Islands we began our trek up the Sierra Negra volcano. The feeling you get from the rim of this enormous crater is one of awe and power. the next thing was to see the steam coming from live vents on the mountain side, imagining what life was like thousands of years ago.We then walked up to the vents and the smell of sulphur was really strong but again the feeling of power was still there.Onto the rest of the trek with camping on the rim,well looked after by our helpers who with the horses got everything we needed to the rim and cooked us all very good meals, thanks.This trip is very full on and every day so far we have an early start and either walked or took boats to visit many islands and wildlife areas.This trip exceeded all of my expectations and with a great leader in Pablo who`s knowledge of the Islands was fantastic, we the group who all got on so well together, cared for each other, they helped make this whole trip the best ever.Although it did seem a awfully long way back home!!”

“Hi Vera We got back from our holiday yesterday & I wanted to write to you to say that we had an excellent time & the whole trip was extremely well organised. Our tour guides, of Vanessa in Buenos Aires, Gaston in Iguazu (Argentina), Margarita in Iguazu (Brazil) & Paolo (Rio) were all fantastic in their own ways Vanessa`s insight & Gaston`s background of working in the park, were exceptional The sights we saw of Igauzu Falls & the Rio Carnival were amazing (the hotels were all great & the flights were fine) Thank you very much for helping to organise our trip !”
