Latin America selfdrives

View of lake in front of Torres del Paine

The great feature of self drives is the feeling of freedom - you go where you want, stop when you want, and accommodation is included. Not every country in Latin America is conducive to driving on your own, whether for safety reasons or for lack of infrastructure. We can particularly recommend self-drives in Chile and Costa Rica, but also regularly tailor them for travellers to Argentina and Belize.

did you know...

Ironically given what happened later, the Americas were first viewed as a land of Utopia by Renaissance Europe and the first explorers. Vespucci wrote "They live without king and without any form of authority, and each is his own master." A chronicler of Columbus: "...they go naked...and live in a golden age, simple and innocent, without laws, quarrels, or money, content to satisfy nature."

Testimonials: Dear Laura, Thanks for the email. Everything was wonderful. Klein Tours is an outstanding company in every way. There was just one guide on the boat—Sam that was not very good and couldn't be bothered with us older ones. I have complained about him to Klein Tours. Otherwise everything was first class. The Mercure was the best one of that chain that we've stayed in, and the Quito guide Roberto was superb. Thanks for all your help. Best regards, Liz Elizabeth S, USA
