“Latin America by public bus, the way most people actually do it”
Overland routes on scheduled buses and public ferries. Slower, cheaper, and closer to how the continent moves.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found.
Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Thank you for travelling with us — glad the route worked out.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Worth every rupee.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down. Good value for what's included.
Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.

Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Solid operator.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Would send friends their way.
No. El Castillo has been closed to climbers since 2006, as has Nohoch Mul at Coba more recently. Anyone advertising a pyramid climb in the Yucatan is out of date.
