South America Travel Review: Uruguay, Paraguay, Brazil, Argentina, Montevideo, Asuncion, Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Missions Tour

The trip can be divided into three parts, with trips to Iguazu Falls, to Paraguay and to Uruguay. The trips to the Falls and to Uruguay went well but the trip to Paraguay was modified without my consent so that excursions planned for two days were combined into a single day. Thus we arrived quite tired and late in Ascension and needing to recuperate. These plans had been changed by the tour company who also failed to advise of of their plans for pick up. The guide they chose for us performed very well but was obliged to follow the new schedule. I can only assume that the change was made to save the tour company money by employing the guide for a day less. I cannot recommend the tour company and thus would advise caution on a trips planned by this travel agency into Paraguay. 

The guides provided did a very good job and the hotels were more than adequate. Timing otherwise was very punctual but the length of the trips as advertised in the itinerary were often exaggerated for example one 10 hour trip took only 6 hours (the trip to Posadas).
