Lake Titicaca

The holiday of a lifetime and the best holiday I have ever had. Peru - the Andes, Machu Picchu, Lamas and Alpacas, Chocolate and Pisco Sour, Lake Titicaca and Floating Islands. Buenos Aires - Tango lessons, Gauchos and horse riding. Rio de Janiero - Christ the Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, Copacabana Beach, Carnival experience and Samba. The Iguaza Falls were amazing with the option to view them by helicopter and boat - brilliant experiences. Learning about the different cultures and history was fascinating and visiting Indigenous families and sampling their ancient rituals was a privilege. Al the places visited were fantastic and I cannot pick out a favourite - they were all brilliant.

The Hotels and food were all excellent. We sampled lots of different restaurants and cuisine. Dinner was usually in a local restaurant and included great entertainment.

Everything was extremely well organised and it all ran very smoothly, we did not have to worry about a thing. Claudio - our guide for the whole tour - was knowledgeable and passionate. He looked after us extremely well, he was pleasant, friendly, caring, thoughtful and extremely efficient. He worked very hard and attended to every detail. In addition to Claudio there were local guides who specialised in a particular area and they were all brilliant too. Transport was always ready and waiting for us, and all the drivers were pleasant, friendly and helpful.

It was full on and fast paced, lots packed in and so as expected very little downtime. I found it all very exciting and in my view if you are going to travel that far you might as well do as much as possible.

We have lots and lots of photos, many happy memories and have made some lovely new friends.

Fantastic experience, brilliant holiday and worth every penny - thank you Wendy Wu.
