I am delighted to bring you the Tempo 2015 Latin America brochure. I have developed a real passion for this destination and I can’t wait for you to discover this magnificent region for yourself.

Latin America is blessed with a rich history and a diverse mix of cultures. Visitors can marvel at Easter Island’s mysterious prehistoric statues or discover the ruins of bygone empires at the spectacular ancient cities of Machu Picchu and Chichen Itza. Charming colonial towns offer a glimpse of the region’s Spanish and Portuguese heritage, while cosmopolitan cities like Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro are the perfect place to dip into Latin America’s intoxicating music and dance scene.

WHY CHOOSE LATIN AMERICA?Latin America has something for everybody. From Mexico’s golden beaches to the stunning peaks of the Andes and the glacial lakes of Patagonia, the region is jam-packed with incredible natural beauty. Aspiring naturalists can go wild in the steamy expanses of the Amazon or discover the unique wildlife ecosystem of the volcanic Galapagos Islands. History buffs will love the Incan treasures of Machu Picchu and the Mayan pyramids of the Yucatan peninsula, while modern-day culture-vultures can enjoy the cafes and colonial boulevards of cosmopolitan Buenos Aires or join thousands of revellers on the streets of Rio for Carnival – the world’s biggest party.

Choose one or more of the featured itineraries in this brochure, or contact Tempo Holidays to construct a tailor-made package for your own personal needs. Note that Latin America is becoming an increasingly popular tourist destination, so hotels and flights can fill up quickly. We advise you to book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Altitude SicknessSome Latin American cities and attractions are situated at an altitude greater than 3200 m. The lack of oxygen at this height affects most people to some

extent until they become acclimatised. Mild symptoms of altitude sickness include headaches, lethargy, dizziness, sleeping difficulties and loss of appetite. Severe symptoms include lack of coordination, drowsiness and nausea. We strongly recommended that you rest in your hotel after arriving in high altitude areas, and that you spend at least two days acclimatising to the lower oxygen levels before commencing any high-altitude trekking. Altitude sickness is especially common in Ecuador, the Andes, and the Altiplano regions of Peru, Bolivia and northern Chile.

HealthYellow fever exists in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador and as such passengers visiting these areas are required to have in their possession a valid health book indicating that they have had a yellow fever vaccination as a requirement to re-enter Australia or New Zealand, or to gain admission into many other countries. Please consult a medical practitioner prior to travel to seek advice about this requirement, and other health precautions. Please note that yellow fever vaccinations are only available through certain health clinics.

Why choose Peru: Peru as a country offers it all. Incredible ancestral heritage and many and varied archaeological treasures to admire. The land is covered with amazing pristine natural areas, preserving much of the world’s biodiversity in one country. Above all, it is Peru’s warm hearted people that let travellers get in touch with the soul of the country.

When to travel: Peru is a popular year-round destination with a varied climate depending on the altitude. June to August is more comfortable for trekking the Inca Trail as temperatures are cooler and the air is mostly dry, however bear in mind temperatures can drop below freezing at high altitudes year-round. The wet season runs from December to April, but showers are brief and the coastal beaches are a pleasant respite from the heat.

Why choose the Galapagos Islands: The Galapagos Archipelago is a stunning group of 13 volcanic islands located just under the equator, about 1000 km west off the coast of Ecuador. Still being formed, the Galapagos Islands are part of the Galapagos National Park with the oldest island said to be dated back to 4 million years. The islands are home to a unique range of fauna and flora - both land and aquatic. It’s here time has stood still and you will have the chance to see these creatures and unique landscape up close.

When to travel: The Galapagos Islands are unique in that there is no “off season” for travel although it can be most crowded during mid-December to January and from June to August.

Why choose the Amazon: The Amazon is the earth’s most ecologically varied rainforest. Spreading across Brazil and Peru, with sections of the famous forest reaching into smaller countries, the jungle and mighty Amazon River are home to an array of fauna and flora as well as age old indigenous groups.

When to travel: There are two seasons along the Amazon. The high water season is from December to May and the low water season lasts from June to November. Either season promises breathtaking opportunities to photograph the diverse and unique plant and animal life.

ACCOMMODATION STANDARDSHotels are generally selected for location, facilities and value. In more remote areas we may need to use basic accommodation which is regarded as ‘best available’. Classifications are based on assessments provided by tourist authorities in the countries concerned and reflect the type of facilities offered, rather than denoting a style of hotel. Photographs are intended to give a general impression only. Room layouts and views may vary. City maps are only a guide to the location of the hotel. HOTEL FACILITIESThe mention of facilities such as parking, gyms, saunas etc does not imply that the use of these is free. Where charges apply, they will be payable locally (unless otherwise specified). Tea and coffee making facilities in rooms are the exception rather than the rule. Swimming pools, heating and air-conditioning are not necessarily available all year round.BEDDING CONFIGURATIONPrices are generally based on standard twin share accommodation. Requests for specific bedding types must be made at the time of booking, but are not guaranteed. Double rooms may have either twin or double beds. It is common practice to link two single beds together to use as a double bed. Single rooms are often smaller than other rooms and may contain a single bed. Triple rooms usually consist of a twin or double bedded room with an additional sofa bed, folding bed or rollaway for the third person - the room may be cramped as a result. In villas and apartments the bedding configuration is as advised at the time of publication, and is subject to change. Multiple bedrooms in villas or similar does not infer that these rooms afford total privacy.TRAVELLING WITH CHILDRENWhere a child shares a room with two paying adults and stays free, an extra bed may not be supplied and the child could be expected to share an adult’s bed. Additional charges may be levied and paid directly for child meals. Where a child discount rate is applied the child receives a bed, normally a rollaway. When children stay in a room without two adults the adult charge may apply.SPECIAL REQUIREMENTSNo special provision is made for travellers with physical or mental disabilities. Some accommodation and sightseeing may involve walking or climbing stairs. Special requests, such as wheelchair suitable accommodation and touring, ground floor rooms or limited step access, must be made to us in writing by your travel agent, and confirmed by us in writing; otherwise any such requests cannot be guaranteed.PASSENGER PARTICIPATIONWe, or our agents, reserve the right to refuse a reservation, or to exclude a passenger from a service whose socially unacceptable behaviour or medical condition is likely to affect the smooth operation of a service, or adversely affect the safety or enjoyment of other passengers. Any decision to refuse carriage, or exclude any person on these grounds will be made without recourse, refund or compensation.VARIATION AND CANCELLATIONS Product descriptions were correct at the time of publication. We, or our agents, reserve the right to cancel or modify services due to events beyond our control including insufficient participants or adverse weather conditions. Where arrangements are cancelled, full refunds will be provided by us.PAYMENT TERMSSTANDARD DEPOSITA deposit of $150.00 per person, sent through your travel agent within 7 days of making the booking, is required to secure your reservation, irrespective of the status of the booking.

No refund will apply if the cost of your holiday is reduced after deposit or payment is made.TRAVEL INSURANCETravel insurance is not included in our prices. We strongly recommend that you purchase travel insurance from your travel agent at the time of booking to cover yourself against loss of monies paid in the event of cancellation due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances; as well as for medical expenses, loss of luggage and other expenses incurred while travelling.LOCAL REPRESENTATIVESContact details of our local representatives are included in documentation. Please do not hesitate to contact local representatives for any assistance with difficulties or changes. If you need to alter your arrangements once overseas or to add services to your booking you may do this through our local representative. Any additional costs incurred therein must be paid directly. We cannot be held responsible for any subsequent complaint with arrangements booked directly with a supplier abroad. Cancellations of confirmed services must be notified through Tempo Holidays even if you have advised the local representative.

If you are unhappy with your hotel room please inform the duty manager so the situation may be rectified on the spot.

Please send this with supporting documentation, via your travel agent, within 30 days of the date of the service. No claim made after this period will be considered.TIPPINGOur prices do not include tips. Tipping tour drivers and guides is customary in the countries included in this brochure.
