WARNING:
South America is a unique Continent. It is not ruled by timetables
and tight schedules. We have chosen well-located hotels
(Depending on class/standard requested). In a few places the
accommodation may not be up to International standard but will
be the best available, (remember by the time Deluxe style hotels
come to some of these areas most of the uniqueness of the area
will have disappeared). If you require 24-hour room service,"plastic" American style hotels every night, hotel shopping arcades
and a few buildings to photograph please choose another
destination. If you would like to see the real South America we
welcome you to our world “Latin America”.
