Testimonials[0]="Exceeded our expectations! We will be back. We’ve told all of our friends of the great trip you organized. Also, other travelers we met while abroad. [Favorite hotel] Rancho’ e Cuero! The Palma Family are gracious hosts and make you feel a part of their family. Food was excellent.”

Testimonials[1]="I could finally find Blake DeSimone at Cavas! He told me what we want to listen: the only bad part of the trip is that they have to leave and come back home! They really liked every place they stayed at, and did a special comment about how nice their hosts at El Rocio were. Cavas is just amazing and they are enjoying the tastings, and really liked the biking tour, although they didn't do any tastings that day. Overall, it seems they had a great time, so I hope you receive a wonderful feedback from them!”

Testimonials[2]="You really know how to design a travel experience. I have never had such a high quality experience. What boutique hotels you choose for my family in Argentina and Brazil ! We will definitely be back!"
Bob Cunho, August 2007";
Testimonials[3]="Just a quick note to say we had a wonderful time in Argentina. Norm and I have never traveled with a pre-set itinerary before, but our friends have and we would recommend it. We were so well looked after and it was so nice to be greeted at each stop of our trip and not have to look for hotels. Wanderlust Expeditions went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable. We didn't expect them to find us a hotel in Bariloche when the snow kept us from doing anything, but they did and picked us up a few days earlier and made up for the side trips that we weren't able to do there as the trails were closed. Argentina is such a vast country and so beautiful. We found the people helpful and easy to talk to and would recommend this country and your company to friends. Thank you for making this trip such a wonderful experience."

Iguazu, Bariloche, Buenos Aires, Mendoza & Salta";
Testimonials[4]="We had an absolutely amazing time! We especially loved Salta and two hotels there: La Finca Santana and Legato Mitico. I think it's my best vacation ever, but I'll fill out the form for you with details. Everything was really well done and it made our experience all the more pleasurable because we really had no worries. All the transfers were on time, with friendly drivers and comfortable cars. The welcome documentation was beautiful and helpful (although occasionally a bit out of date). The mix of free time and guided time was perfect.”

Bob Cunho";
Testimonials[9]="Well, we had a TERRIFIC time........so much of it thanks to you. For openers, we had cabin # 1 on the boat, which was not only much larger than the "normal" cabin, but had a semi-private veranda of its own. We loved it! And I suspect you had something to do with us having that. Thank you.
As for the rest, it was everything I could have asked for. Having looked forward to this trip for around forty years (really!), it would have been easy for me to be disappointed somehow. Not for a second. Loved it all. Even the heat.
Thank you SO much for everything all along the way. When we make our plans to see Buenos Aires/Argentina (alas, probably not a for a year or two), you can be sure you'll be the first to know!

Testimonials[10]="We had a great time and all went very well. I must say we put this trip in your hands-sight unseen and trusted you. It was astonishing how smoothly everything went. They were all great [hotels}. Zero in Valparaiso. Legado Mitico in B.A. Explora in Torres de Paine.”

Chile – Lake District, Torres del Paine, Mare Australis, Buenos Aires, Valparaiso";
Testimonials[11]="Latin Excursions planned incredible variety for our trip to Chile. We spent our first day learning the history of Valparaiso. We then flew to Punta Arenas to catch our boat to Carlos Island where we spent 4 days. The Whale Sound crew and the scientist were extremely knowledgeable and willing to share at all times. We then started our journey to Torres de Paine were we climbed to the peaks which had been highly recommended by everyone we met. We were then off to the lake district. Puerto Varas, Chiloe and Petrohue were all places we could have spent more time exploring. We would like to thank Latin Excursion for their help in making the trip include everything we asked for and helping it be financially realistic.”

Testimonials[28]="We had a fabulous trip. Your operation exceeds what the big players due since it is so highly personalized. We encountered a major change of itinerary (thanks to a washed out landing strip) and your company (with your local staff) was able to find an alternative and arrange the logistical changes in less than 2 hours and for a group of 15 – that’s impressive.”
