Brilliant holiday – lots of wildlife seen and holiday was definitely a trip to remember with a great group of people.
Seeing the turtles egg laying at Tortuguero and then seeing hatchings make their way into the sea.
Gio is a great leader. We wouldn't have seen half as much without his expert knowledge and great eye sight - I still don't know how he spotted an anteater half way up a tree whilst travelling on the Pan American highway!
Highly recommend holiday - travel light and enjoy.
The tour was great and very well organised. It contains loads of travelling but Peru is enormous thus to see as much places as possible you have to travel long distances -coach was comfortable Well worth it!!
Definately No 1 is the visit to Machu Picchu - spectacular! The tour enables you to visit the site in the afternoon with the tour guide and thus receive a full explanation of the site. It also offers free time to visit again the following morning which is great.No 2 has to be Cuszo - I love it, its a beautifull cityNo 3 travelling through the Andes. Had a lovely experience when the LLamas stole sugar from restaurant:)No 4 Arequipa is a lovely city, enjoyed sight seeing especially the visit to Santa Catalina convent.
Group leader was Fabrizzio. He was great !! he well informed us in advance of what to do, where to go and which places we should avoid. He really took great care of all the tour members.
Always take the guide's advice especially to avoid any dangerous areas. Drink plenty of water when travelling to high altitude areas - it helps as lot.very important to take DEET spray and torches if visiting the Amazon.
Great walking, stunning views, amazing blue sea … and way too much food!!!
The scrambles up and along quite rocky paths to get to some stunning views on the walk to Tiscali. The Gorrupu Gorge was amazing too. Really enjoyed the hike along the coast on the last day - more great walking and fully justified the HUGE gelato I treated myself to at the end
We were a wide range of walking abilities in the group - Eric had a difficult job balancing the hares vs the tortoises, but managed to keep us together ... at least for the scenery and food stops though not always when walking on a clear path!
We were really lucky with the weather, it was never less than 25C. I was fine with walking trainers (Reeboks). It was too warm for boots but they'd give better ankle support if needed. Likewise take poles if you find them helpful, but I personally find it easier to negotiate rocky scrambles on all fours (where poles would get in the way)Walking sandals (Tevas and co) would be OK for the first day walk (all on roads), but no more than that.Main thing is to be prepared for some extended stiff scrambles (up rocky / bouldery paths) - the first part of the Tiscali walk and then the climb up to Tiscali are the worst - but generally the walking is pretty much on the flat. I thought the first 2 days were more "A" grade because they were on paths / roads without much scrambling (unless you went up Gorrupu Gorge). The last 2 walks were more "B" grade because of the more difficult terrain, but much more interesting because they were point to point rather than out and back along the same track.I was worried I'd struggle with an A/B grade walk because I'd done almost no walking the previous 2 months due to the dire weather back home and was fine.
A Good trip. My only complaint was that I was issued with the wrong size bike and had to suffer back ache for the firfirst day due to shortage of a suitable bike. There were no spare bikes in case of breakages and I felt this put unnecessary strain on the leader.
Arriving at Santiago on Friday eveving.
.Great. He coped with difficulties by improvisation and always kept his sense of humour.
Bring warm clothes. I only had cycle shorts and really needed long trousers to ride in especially when we were cycling at higher altitudes. Waterproofs were essential.
Fantastic location in a lovely small hotel with friendly staff and the best food I’ve ever had on an Exodus holiday. Walks are superb and the views stunning
The scrambling sections were great fun and the views from the top of Piz Buie were second to none.
Albert and Eric were excellent leaders and a great laugh. At the end of a walk when Albert's group claimed to have been charged by a bull Eric quipped "How much?" I nearly choked on my beer.
Be aware of the very late arrival and departure times. Have a bottle of water with you when you arrive at Venice, the shops aned cafes will likely be shut.
Absolutely stunning. I’m still overwhelmed by the experience.
Waking up in the yurt camp, with the sun peeking through tiny gaps in the felt roof so it seemed we were looking up at the starrry night sky.
Exceptionally well informed. Nazim could answer any questions and had an encyclopaedic knowledge of Central Asian and European history. He took great care with our safety and ensured that the group stayed together despite the fact that some of us were not as foit as he was! Sometimes he didn't appreciate that we would have liked a bit of space to do our own thing eg eating a picnic in the park.
Watch out for the very oily food and take plenty of Immodium with you! The temperature in September was ideal, but nights are starting to get cool (especially when eating outdoors) so take a fleece or similar.
A wonderful week’s holiday with the perfect combination of walking, sunshine, culture, great views, food and company. The family-run Hotel Due Torri is lovely and everyone was extremely kind and welcoming and nothing was ever too much trouble. The food is superb – varied and plenty of it. There’s even freshly-squeezed orange juice for breakfast!
The waterfall in the Valle delle Ferriere National Park and the garden of the Villa Cimbrone in Ravello.
Christine was excellent, looking after us brilliantly and imparting her extensive knowledge of the area in a light-hearted and interesting way.
I'd recommend bringing a heat rub for your calves as they're likely to ache for the first couple of days or so - there are lots of steps!
It did what it said on the tin! Stunning scenery, well-trodden trails, snow-capped mountains, glorious glaciers and lush lakes …… my new favourite place.
There was no one moment just lots and lots of fantastic moments. Every day brought something new and I loved the diversity of the weather as it made each hike individual. One day we were hiking in shorts and t-shirts and the next day every layer is on and it's snowing! Wow ..... I am from Scotland which has 4 seasons in one day and the Rockies were still a wow factor for me.I suppose I am a sucker for sunsets and the sunsets (and sunrises) in Waterton were some of the best I have seen. The sky at night and magnitude of stars were also amazing.The hikes were "awesome" and we often got a 360 degree view of the most amazing mountains and scenery ... oh Moraine lake and Valley of the 10 peaks ... just stunning.
Renee and Catherine ... what a team ladies. You were well-organised, fun, knowledgable, caring and the food you guys cooked was just amazing. Cheers to both of you as you worked hard from morning to night and you made this trip for me - thank you.
Packing - Layers, layers, layers. The weather was so changeable so expect the unexpected.My advice is to take enough clothes for one week as when we visited Jasper there were laundrettes and we had time to go and do laundry. Jasper was probably about half-way into the trip.Sleeping Bag - Take a good one! Mine was a 3 season one and I had to buy a blanket as it got down to -3 one night as you are sleeping at high altitude.Tents - The tents we had were 4-man tents which were shared by 2 people or by one person if they had paid single supplement (or you were lucky as a single person who hadn't paid the supplement and there was no person of the same sex to share with ;o).Time - this trip is packed full of hikes and travel so don't expect too much time to yourself. Obvisouly each evening you can have your me-time after dinner but as it was cold we all spent most evenings round the camp fire and as it got dark early (and cold) we tended to have early nights. Charging phones/cameras - most of the toilets/showers had electric sockets for charging and there was a USB charger on the mini-bus too.Hikes - The hikes were on great paths and were challenging but achievable and the ascents for a day were normally around 700m - 900m. There were even well-maintained outhouses (long-drop) toilets at the start of every hike.
A holiday with a difference. The memories of this mental and physical challenge will stay with me for a very long time. Great fellow climbers and fantastic guides, assistant guides, porters and (the very important) chef.
Hard to pick a specific moment. Reaching the summit is the obvious answer, but also the support from fellow climbers each and every day. Seeing the porters run past you up the mountain to the next camp carrying all the tents, bags, food, equipment... all done with a smile and cries of Jambo!
Charles was excellent. He told us exactly what we needed to wear and carry for the next day, what to expect from the weather and terrain. He was also very conscience about checking for signs of altitude sickness and giving advice on how to deal with the symptoms, providing constant encouragement every step of the way!
You will need less clothes than you think. One set for the daily climb and a clean set of clothes for the evening. Make sure you have enough layers and thermals as it gets very cold the higher you ascend. Bring lots of wet wipes. I hired a mat and sleeping bag (equipment was in very good condition and the sleeping bag was very warm) and brought along a Thermarest which provided a bit of extra comfort. Take the advice of your guides. Drink plenty of water, eat lots to keep your strength up (the food was much better than I thought it would be) and take it slowly. In the end it will be down to your determination more than your fitness. Do whatever you can to reduce the risk of altitude sickness.
Excellent Leader, Group and Holiday! The dining out at different restaurants each evening was really enjoyable.
The walk down the Dimosaris Gorge and the well earned swim after (although the beach wasn't deserted as stated in the brochure - there were 4 other people there!)
Costas was an excellent Leader - extremely knowledgeable about the area and its history, enthusiastic, a good communicator and very sociable.
