Review of Hotel Reina Isabel, Quito by
jayney49
Advantages: basic, cheap, clean, friendly staff, super breakfasts.
Disadvantages: 45 minute walk to city centre, noisy roadworks outside at the time of visit.
This hotel was the cheapest offered with our tour package to Quito and Galapagos. We were not expecting luxury, and although the hotel is basic as a base to explore the city, it more than came up to our expectations. The staff on reception were friendly a ...

What The Lake Left Behind
Review of Tiwanaku (Tiahuanaco), Tiahuanaco by
Puggers
Advantages: Interesting site, well-laid out museums, some impressive remains.
Disadvantages: Much of the site is yet to be recovered or (possibly crudely) rebuilt.
When it comes to ruins, perhaps I peaked too early. Visiting Peru four years before Bolivia, and Mexico three, I've been fortunate enough to see some of the most celebrated piles of stone Latin America has to offer. After the likes of Chichen Itza, Palenq ...

Salty and Superlative
Review of General: Bolivia by
Puggers
Advantages: A wealth of contrasting wonders and lesser-seen sights relatively untainted by tourism.
Disadvantages: Extremes of altitude and temperature, rustic transport links.
