April 14-16 Homeward bound

 

Our South American Salsa was more than we could have hoped for. It was quite an odyssey yet we covered little of this our neighbour continent. What a journey of contrasts and experiences it has been. From Cape Horn in the south, in and out of fjords to experience some of Chilean Patagonia’s glaciers, through Chiles’s high Atacama Desert to then ascend even higher (to almost the same level as Mt Everest Base Camp) to gaze mouths agape at volcanoes, vast salt flats and flamingos in Bolivia. From those awesome wonders to Amazonian Pink River Dolphins, multiple monkeys, brilliant birds and wriggly reptiles of Peru’s vast rainforest over 6000km from where we had climbed to the lighthouse on Cape Horn at the southernmost tip of the South American continent. The final cherry on the cake was our way too brief trip to Colca Canyon the deepest canyon in the Andes to watch the magnificent condors fly.  We returned home very weary, but our travels were made that much smoother thanks to our wonderful travel agent. Thank you, thank you again Bev Edwards - TravelManagers Australia.
