We arrived home on Sunday evening after a fabulous three weeks in South America. Thought you might be interested in a quick trip report!
Our flights were all fine. We had no problems travelling on staff travel on Qantas. The new direct service to Santiago is very convenient.
I was ill in Cusco with altitude sickness the first day on tour but the guide was very attentive and organised oxygen for me at our lunch stop. I soon improved.
We very much enjoyed our stays Pakaritampu at Ollantaytambo and Sumaq at Aguas Callientes. We had a brilliant clear sunny day for our tour of Machu Picchu. My photos look great!
Train trip to Puno was very enjoyable. We were met and transferred to our Hotel.
We really enjoyed our stay at Copacabana. The hotel was wonderful. The rooms were newly renovated. We had a spacious room with beautiful view of the lake. Copacabana was an interesting town to wander around. I can highly recommend a couple of nights here!
We stayed overnight at the Holiday Inn at Santiago Airport. The hotel is new and clean and a very short walk from the terminal. Highly recommended for an overnight stay.
We enjoyed our six nights on Easter Island. We then had another night at Santiago Airport before catching the QF flight the next day.
Thanks again for arranging the tour for us.
