    Our 19 day South America trip with Cosmos was a wonderful experience. My wife and I and two daughters went and had a great time. Our tour leader Zeca Cordeiro was the best !!! He took a sincere interest in our comfort and satisfaction at every turn. He was completely committed to each and every traveler to insure we all enjoyed our trip. He handled every little problem in a professional and competent manner. He also had a very valuable understanding of the places we visited on our journey which provided us with important information at every point of the trip. He is a true asset to your company. Also, the local guides were knowledgeable, professional, and enthusiastic about their respective areas of the destinations we visited. Also, the accommodations were comfortable and well situated in each location and city. The itinerary was very well thought out and covered much of the most important sites geographically. We have nothing but positive comments about our experience for this trip.
