Bob and Gretchen have enjoyed traveling in South America ever since our experience in the Peace Corps, living in Venezuela (University Education Project 1962-1964).  While our ability to speak Spanish has become very rusty in the intervening years, we have found that Spanish speaking people in any country are amused and very patient with our efforts to communicate in their language. 

Most of our travel has been with Road Scholar (previously named Elderhostel and Exploritis).  For the most part, these tours have been educational and very interesting.  Take a look at this link to view some of the places that we have explored.
