We had a great time.
The bottom line is all went VERY well. We had a great time. Thanks for your help. We would certainly recommend both Yampu Tours / Kon Tiki and Easter Island to anyone. The Vouchers were waiting for us at the Hotel in Santiago when we arrived. The last time we were in Santiago was 1973. As you may recall those were not good times for the Chilean people. Again best wishes and many thanks,
