Hi Contours!
Just thought I’d touch base and let you know that we had a fabulous time. All guides were excellent, on time, well dressed and vehicles in good condition – we couldn’t fault Contours. We were disappointed with Lake Titicaca – so commercial now and so many boats – also La Paz – disappointing after visiting Cusco, Sacred Valley, Aguas Calientes and Machu Picchu – The hotel in La Paz was not up to standard but we realised there are not any very good hotels in La Paz. Trains great, cruises great, the Devil’s Throat walk was open at Iguazu which was fantastic. Carnivale a real buzz – Rio so polluted and you wouldn’t swim in the sea at Copacabana – they all stand under spearpoint sprays scattered along the beach – lovely old buildings. Argentina in an economic crisis – shops were giving you more pesos to the US$ just to get some US money. Overall however we had a wonderful experience with no hiccups.
Thanks again for your input and advice.
Kind regards,
