What people love about Latin America Tours for Seniors
- Ultimate South America
One of the highlights for me was the Tango show in Buenos Aires, really enjoyed that. The dinner and show in Cusco was a bit of a let down. I thought the accommodations were fine , nothing to rave about. I was not impressed with the Cusco hotel or the one in Puno, very noisy and no air conditioning so had to open windows to get any air flow and that of course only made matters worse when it came to noise. Loved Iguassu falls and the resort we stayed at there was very lovely, nice to have a chance just to relax by the pool . My husband was disappointed when we got to Peru , not because he did not enjoy the visits with locals and family's but thought the experience was cheapened due to the fact they always were trying to sell you something. I have to agree , it would have been better with out always having the try to sell you items and several people commented that they felt they should buy something even though they didn't really want anything. It got to be a little too much for most. There were a few days where we did not get to stop for a proper lunch only a store on the way and that didn't impress me , too rushed . All in all I enjoyed the trip very much , and I would recommend Cosmos to friends and family .
