Thanks for the responses.
I´ve been talking to some companies who can arrange something for us, and wonder if anyone has any experience or info about them ?

Kind of off topic - but just wanted to mention the movie "Even the Rain" which we enjoyed from Netflix a couple nights ago. It was filmed in and around Cochabamba - the mts look beautiful.
A very good movie based on an interesting idea. ..
