The trip went smoothly and according to plan.
The trip went smoothly and according to plan. We are pleased to recommend Yampu. You have excellent sources of local guides and in-country tour companies. We most highly comment Maxi, our guide and assistant in Buenos Aires, and the front desk day staff at Howard Johnson Recoleta in Buenos Aires. They were all extremely helpful, as was Jeff G. of Yampu. We are already hoping to return and complete our trip to the places we had to miss. Thank you again.

Everything you arranged was perfect to the last detail. The hotels were all nice. My favorite was probably Remota, in Puerto Natales, Chile. Their food was excellent, tour guides and drivers are all professionals. I learned a lot.
