Some of the greatest desert scenery in the world This Bolivia tour includes a fantastic variety of landscapes and experiences but for all of us on the tour the highlight was the desert scenery in particular the salt flats. Go before too many other tourists discover it! There is a lot of travelling and some long days but it is worth it. Julia our guide was quite simply one of the best tour guides I've had in around 40 group tours. Bolivia is a poor country but the people are friendly and we had no problems with strikes or roadblocks. Don't be put off by the trip note warnings about altitude sickness, perhaps we were lucky but in our group no-one had anything worse than a short-lasting slight headache.
Ideal compact trip for Machu Picchu This trip is very well designed as a way to walk to the Sun Gate, and achieve the iconic views of Machu Picchu, without having to undergo the demanding challenge of the full Inca Trail. I had booked to do the Classic Inca Trail four years ago, but first Covid then a heart attack meant that idea was not achievable. The walk up to the Sun Gate should not be underestimated, but is eminently 'doable' for anyone of reasonable fitness. The one day trek on the Inca Trail, and the tour round the site of Machu Picchu, were marvellous, unforgettable experiences. The days spent in Cusco offer a rich cultural experience, and Peruvian cuisine is simply wonderful, high quality at astounding value.
Travelled first time with Exodus to Costa Rica and it was a very well organised and exciting tour of the beautiful country. Travelled to many different lodges and national parks. Arriving in San Jose we were welcomed by our wonderful tour guide Gwenda, we couldn't have asked for a better tour guide, so much knowledge about the country, culture and wildlife. Gwenda is truly an valuable member of Exodus along with Randall our amazing driver keeping us safe on our travels.
