1) Do we have to have trekking boots to visit the Mountain Gorilla?  Although proper trekking boots give you good ankle support and added benefit (if waterproof), it is not essential. You can do the trek in a good pair of sneakers, takkies, trainers etc. It is a good idea to have gaiters and a spare pair of socks in your backpack to change into after the trek though - just for comfort sake. But either way, the gorilla won't be too concerned about your attire JTour itinerary

2) What is the best ski resort in South America? This is one of those long piece of string answers as it really depends on your level of expertise in skiing and also what you look for in a resort. For some, the after parties are important, others the family events and others, the slopes. Valle Nevado, Portillo and Bariloche normally come up as favourites.  For further details, email us

3) What is a Tea Room for accommodation mentioned in your newsletter (last months reference?)  A Tea room, or Tea House, is basically a type of lodge that one can stay in on many treks in the Himalaya's. The lodges or houses are quite basic, but come with toilet facilities, a dining area and often, private rooms.
