Andrea Dennison says:
The trip included a vast array of sights and experiences. The acatama, altiplano and salt flats were out of this world. A good price and excellent tour leader, Bilynda made it a wonderful trip. Highly recommended!
Introduction:
Discover the great deserts of Chile, and the ever-popular Indian town of San Pedro, set deep in the Atacama desert. Traverse the high pass into Bolivia, watch the clouds float by outside your window on the remote altiplano populated mainly by alpacas, llamas and pink flamingoes and discover the dazzling white expanses of the Salar de Uyuni salt lake. Explore the colonial cities of Potosi and Sucre, before cruising into La Paz situated under the watchful gaze of the snow-capped Mount Illimani.

Helen’s a travel expert. She’ll help you find exactly the right tour that suits your requirements. She says she always listens before making a recommendation and doesn’t just hear about people’s travel plans but everything else that’s going on in their lives as well. ‘It’s no bother’ she says. ‘I enjoy it. I like to chat’. Some employers would discourage such frivolity and unpaid for extra service. Not us. We think it’s great.
