“ This was a holiday I have wanted to do for many years and it did not fail to deliver. Our tour leader was professional,knowledgeable, understanding and integrated with the local guides to ensure received the best service and information.The recommendations we were given for restaurants, optional tours, tango evenings,sorting money etc were spot on. And finally, the visits to various ice cream parlours for dessert after group meals was most welcome! ”

“ We enjoyed an excellent tour with a special tour leader. We chose this tour because it took us to a lot of places we had dreampt of visiting and it certainly lived up to expectations. We expected to do a significant amount of walking and enjoyed all the walks that were offered. For us the balance between walking and other activities was ideal. ”

“ Most memorable experience? - The variety of the landscapes, the varied trekking, the scale of Patagonia, the wild life and flora, Tierra del Fuego, and the buzz of Buenos Aires. ”

“ This isn't a specific part of the trip, but I do think that the variety of locations and activities available is excellent. It is a busy tour but, personally, I enjoyed this and am pleased that the coverage is as good as it is of such large countries as, travelling that far, I do want to see and do as much as possible. I also found the extension I did suited my requirements well. ”

“ I cannot imagine travelling to Latin America with anyone other than JLA. They again proved that they are the best in the business. After our first visit to South America I thought it would be a hard standard to live up to, but this trip proved me wrong. ”

“

Most memorable experience? - Boat trip on the lake at Pucon looking at the volcano - watching the Perito Moreno Glacier calve - the flight from Puerto Montt to Punta Arenas in spectacular weather - taking a boat on the Beagle Channel and observing penguins from 2 metres away.

The itinerary was fantastic and perfect for 3 weeks.

“ It was an amazing holiday with so many wonderful experiences and stunning scenery. Possibly in the months ahead the images that will stand our are: the Perito Mereno Glacier, Torres del Paine, the Fitzroy Mountain shining in the morning sunlight, the trip on the Beagle Channel and the Iguazu Falls. We were blessed with unusually fine weather which made the trip even more memorable. No wind in Patagonia, and calm waters in the Beagle Channel! ”

“ The whole experience was wonderful. Loved every place we went even Buenos Aires which I thought might not appeal. We went to see the Madres de Plaza de Mayo, it was a very moving and emotional experience. ”

“ The beauty of nature, particularly the Torres glowing at sunrise and the vastness of the Perito Moreno glacier. The views from the planes were also fantastic!

“ Overall the Nandu tour was a wonderful experience. We have seen some stunning scenery, done some reasonably tough hiking and had some fabulous meals. The JLA staff and their representatives have been first class and the food was excellent. The accommodation was mostly very good too. It is a full-on tour so people going on the tour may want to chill-out somewhere at the end of the tour to relax as we did!

The most memorable part is every day we thought it couldn't get better and it did. Perito merino glacier, Torres del Paine end of world and Iguazu. Easter island was a childhood dream and it exceeded expectations. Mount FitzRoy walk was stunning.

“ Most memorable experience? - Very difficult to say - there was something good every day. I just loved Torres del Paine and El Chalten and could have spent longer walking in both places - however I wouldn't have wanted to miss anywhere else!!

“ This was a great trip taking in all the highlights of Chile and southern Patagonia before finishing off with a visit to Buenos Aires. The highlight was hiking in Torres del Paine but there were memorable moments throughout. Our tour leader was excellent throughout, helping everybody achieve their individual goals and really adding to the group holiday experience.

“ Most memorable experience? - When I stood just a few feet away from the Perito Moreno Glacier listening to the groaning and grumbling and watching the glacier carving. When our catamaran sailing on the Beagle Channel landed on the sandy beach among the colony of penguins and they were all around us. When I flew over the Andes and saw the fjords and snow clad peaks.

Flawless organisation and high level of care round the clock provided by 5-star tour guide. Relaxing, enjoyable and full of unique moments. ”

Amazingly the trip was everything I had hoped it would be. Having wanted to go to Patagonia since I can remember, and having the opportunity arise fairly last minute, choosing JLA was a good decision! Great itinerary and good organisation left me to enjoy the experience!

“ The scenery was incredible. There were many highlights:- Chiloe. Our guide had an infectious enthusiasm and his knowledge of the local area was extensive. The list of birds that we spotted was impressive culminating in a boat trip out to a penguin colony to see magellanic penguins and sea otters basking in the sun. We rounded off the day with a Curanto, traditional pit bake that served by a delightful local family at their home.

The hotels were generally of acceptable standard and the local guides were excellent, particularly Brit on Chiloe and Isabella in Torres del Paine, both of whom were outstanding. ”

“ Overall great itinerary, albeit very full on - however we did check itineraries of other travel companies for this area (Chile & Argentina) and JLA's was the most comprehensive.

Fantastic tour leader...

Highlights for us were Atacama desert (Moon Valley & Tatio Geysers), optional trip to Chiloe, time in Torres del Paine National Park, visit to Perito Moreno glacier, optional trip on the Beagle Channel, tango evening in Buenos Aires. ”

“

Once again we have had and excellent experience with JLA and would recommend the company to anybody - indeed we have already done so and they have looked at the website and were impressed.
