Getting to Machu Picchu was a highlight & completed the lifetime package
I am home again after the most fantastic trip. Of course my feet have not touched the ground yet, so much to do & mail a meter high. My heartfelt thanks to you especially, but also all the crew both on the ground & manning the desks.We were never let down once. Always a smiling face in the foyer or standing at the airport gate. I don’t know how you pulled it all off especially with our last manic changes. It was hard work at times I will not deny it. The last 2 weeks were tight & we were both very tired, but getting to Machu Picchu was a highlight & completed the lifetime package. We stood there in awe. I will get Jenny to send you a photo to prove it, she is better at photos than me.I am so glad I booked those 5 nights in BA at the end & enjoyed the Tango show, shopping & galleries, high tea at a posh hotel. I will not hesitate to recommend both you & Yampu. I hope we cross paths one day or certainly when I return to that magical part of the world I will contact you.

Had a wonderful time
We’re returning from our trip today. Had a wonderful time. We loved all of our hotels particularly the Llao Llao in Bariloche and the Eolo in El Calafate. The lake crossing is a must for anyone visiting the lake district. Had to be experienced to be believed. Our tour guides in Santiago, Puerto Montt, El Calafate and Iguasu were WONDERFUL. All in all it was a fantastic, memorable trip and I would recommend Yampu to others.
