Client quotes
"It was a brilliant holiday and as a trip of a lifetime it didnt let me down. The calm reassurance of your offices in planning the trip as a slightly nervous traveller was equally matched by the quality of the guiding which was superb.
The contrast of Atacama (how can a desert be so full of surprises and colourful?) with the dramatic aweinspiring sites and weather of the glaciers and mountains of Patagonia was stunning.
The galapagos on your choice of boat was the priveleged way to explore the islands and made me think I am now a professional photographer.
An amazing trip with great guides to make it a meaningful and interesting holiday with an element of challenge which is what I wanted. Many thanks.

"Just to say what a great trip we had. Apart from the one hiccup at Casa Donoso, everything went like clockwork. We really enjoyed the variety of places we stayed and the excellent guides.
Thanks very much indeed for all the time you put into planning it, and to your staff for organising it. The happy birthday greeting at Iguacu and the birthday cake at the hotel were a wonderfully personal touch.

"Wonderful trip, Pura Aventura delivered all as advertised. We provided best weather in park for several weeks, every top and valley was clear.
Would you please thank Juan, he added a dimension to the trip neither of us expected. Constantly pointing out features in the park, wildlife, plants and trees. We also learned some of the history of Chilean Patagonia, I am glad he did not test us, I believe I only retained about twentyfive per cent!

"I do not want to go on holiday with another company now that I have been on two with Pura Aventura. We have had two guides and both have given 100% to us regarding knowledge and companionship.

"Just a note to thank you for arranging what was a great holiday in Chile.Everything went to plan.
That we managed to keep an 8, 6 and 4 year old continually entertained, happy and active is perhaps the greatest testament to success!

"The scenery and experience exceeded all my expectations. Pura's method of taking plenty of time for the trail and not using the busy sites made the trail very special. Even the train from Machu Picchu to Cusco was like no other train journey I've undertaken..."

"We returned a few weeks ago from our round the world trip and although it is now almost 3 months since, we remember vividly our time in Patagonia, which was made all the more enjoyable by your local knowledge, enthusiasm and inexhaustible patience, especially in coaxing us up to see the cloud-covered Torres! Thanks once again."
