Argentina expedition reviews

The impact of the expedition will last a lot longer than the mosquito bites and the bumps and bruises did. It was a truly incredible adventure and we are each lucky enough to have been blessed with unforgettable memories, some wonderful friendships and several hundred photographs!

It was a good experience which taught me a lot about myself and to be more independent. The expedition taught me there is more to life and to be grateful for all the comforts which I have and take for granted. The trip was really rewarding and I would not have had the opportunity to do something like this without World Challenge.

I just wanted to thank your organisation for looking after my daughter while she had the trip of her life in Argentina this summer. I know in the end only one teacher from the school was with her group but it all went fine and I understand my daughter's moderate Spanish was also useful with booking accommodation and some meals. What has impressed me the most and this is what I hoped she would get out of the whole experience has been the benefit of working together as a team for a common aim without (I hope many) internal squabbles and disagreements. I was pleased that on occasions where there might have been some possible danger (for example meeting another group of local teenagers from the school very late at night) your leader sensibly used her veto! I am sure she will go back to South America in the future also and certainly will have no fear of travelling alone (and of course safely) anywhere in the world. I also hope your group leader (sorry I have just forgotten her name) was able to get a replacement passport and return home quickly!

The trip was fantastic, what I expected and a lot more. Lots of emotional ups and downs for all involved but the most important thing when faced with a problem is being able to deal with it effectively and then being able to forget it and get on with the trip.
