Mauricio, Many, Many thanks for organising a great 10 day trip for us in Costa Rica. The choices that you decided for us as a family of 5 with teenage daughters were pretty spot on. They enjoyed the animals especially at the Peace Lodge were incredible. We would have enjoyed a couple more days their, if we had known how unique it was as a place. The accommodation at Playa Conchal was great too and El Establo, but unfortunately the Lodge at Arenal was uncomfortable, even though the view was incredible and the place was clean the beds were very hard!! All in all it was a great trip. The trips by van went without a hitch and the drivers from Interbus were courteous and helpful, even thought there was abit of a language barrier. I would highly recommend you to our friends, thank you again for all your help and for being super efficient. All the best, Belinda Goldring.

Laura, Happy New Year to you. First, I would like to say thank you for all of your help over the past 16 months for this trip. The entire Fodor family had a great time. I would highly recommend Latin Discover. Kat

Laura, we had a nice time in Chile and want to thank you for your efforts in making the arrangements for us. All of the tours were interesting and worthwhile. I have to tell you that the Los Buenos Muchachos was quite fun. I would recommend it for your clients who like music and like to dance. Apparently, there were quite a number of people who wanted a New Years Eve reservation who could not get in because the place was packed. Entire families spend New Years Eve at this place, including children from aged 2 years to grandparents. We had more fun that on any other New Years Eve in our life and we are 60 years old. People from other tables around us asked us to dance and showed us the dances of Chile.

They fed us, gave us an entire bottle of red wine, and had a folk dance show, complete with all kinds of costumes and very good dancers. They had an emcee who created excitement in the crowd. They danced the National Chilean Dance and taught us -- it is a fast dance with a handkerchief. Then they did a medley of American disco dances and the dancers dressed the part, complete with Afro wigs. This was followed with a medley of latin disco dances. Everyone was on the floor dancing. It was packed. We had so much fun.

The best thing is this. Apparently, they have a great party at this place every single weekend that is pretty much like the fun we had............so you can probably send your clients here if they are not in the country on New Years Eve.

We really liked our accommodations at the Kimal Hotel in San Pedro de Atacama. It is very clean & comfortable. The architecture is exquisite. They played music in the courtyard during the afternoon, so I could sit outside by my room, read a book, and be serenaded with great music. Their service is also excellent. The Kimal is only 1/2 block from mainstreet so it was very easy to get water and food when we needed it. The best restaurant is Adobe. It is located on the mainstreet. Thanks again for helping us arrange a very nice trip. We will contact you again and are thinking about Buenos Aires for next New Year's Eve. Would you have any contacts or programming for that area?

Laura, Safely returned to Strasbourg, my wife and I would like to say how much we enjoyed our journey: organisation perfect (even coping well with inability of plane to land in Quito from Panama due to weather), guides and ship very good and the Islands and inhabitants quite superb. Only one disappointment: no sharks, but perhaps better that way. With all best wishes, Jonathan and Maria Rosa S.

Mauricio: Happy New Year to you~ We are safely home after a wonderful week in Belize and Guatemala. Everything went close to perfectly. Roberto, who was our guide in Caracol on Christmas Day and who also drove us to the Camino Real Tikal on the 26th was very very good.

We loved our tours to Caracol and Tikal. Bill was our guide in Tikal and he was also extremely knowledgeable. We had a great day snorkeling with Tony. Both the Ka'Ana and the Belize Legacy were new places, and that showed a bit in the service at the Ka'Ana restaurant initially and in some areas at the Belize Legacy, but all in all they were great choices.

Our kids really loved the Camino Real Tikal. It was really nice to be on the lake and enjoy the pool and the lake. We would very much consider booking another Latin Discover vacation, if our travels bring us to Central America any time soon. Thank you so much for all your work putting our trip together. Best for 2008. Susan and Family.

Feliz año nuevo, Laura I wanted to respond to you before the end of the year. With the holidays and family commitments, I'm sure you understand. As stated by my sister, we did have a wonderful trip, plus very minimal stress, thanks to you and Latin Discover.

I have already recommended your website to new friends from our trip. The tour guides and staff at most of the hotels were very helpful and professional. I especially give high marks to the young and eager tour guides in peru.

The Skorpio expedition was excellent. The staff was very helpful, courteous and made the entire trip exciting and fun. The hotel at Puerto Montt was in a beautiful location, the staff was quite accommodating.

Thank you for all your help and guidance to a wonderful and memorable trip. You will probably hear from us again the next time we head south. Kind regards, Esperanza.

Laura: Everything was great. The hotel personnel was very friendly and helpful, the room was great. I would recommend it strongly. The location also is the best, walking distance to restaurants, shops and the Tango studio is only 1/2 block away. I must add that your service was first class and we were lucky to have you take care of our hotel reservation. If you have people interested in Tango classes while they are in B.A. you could recommend Mayoral y Elsa Maria - Av.Callao 1078, a pasos de Santa Fe. Thanks for following up, we hope to go back soon. Have a Happy New Year and if you need any info for other travelers, I,ll be happy to share our experience with you. Bye for now. Gloria
