Latin America With its dramatic natural scenery, unique cultures and incredible wildlife, Latin America has long been attracting travellers looking for adventure. The contrasts on offer in this vast land are hard to even imagine; it is a place where you'll find the driest desert on earth and the largest rainforest, a place where you can sail between icebergs and tropical islands. For an unforgettable experience, walk the Inca Trail in Peru with the sight of Machu Picchu as your ultimate goal. Get away from it all by visiting Easter Island - one of the most remote islands on the planet, with the remnants of a fascinating civilisation. At the border of Argentina and Brazil, Iguassu Falls thunders in a curtain that's wider than Niagara Falls and taller than Victoria Falls - and it's surrounded by virgin forest. With thousands of miles of coastline, Central and South America is not short of beaches, but you can't go to Brazil and not spend at least an afternoon on Copacabana Beach! |

Brazil, the largest country in South America, is also one of its most colourful, from the stunning costumes of the carnival dancers to the rainbow feathers of a scarlet macaw in the Amazon rainforest. Due to its size, it offers a whole host of unforgettable experiences, which are made even more special by the friendly people, the interesting mix of cultures and traditions, the excellent food and the ever-present samba rhythms. Nestling between a magnificent coastline and spectacular mountains is the bustling city of Rio de Janeiro, arguably the most beautiful city in the world, with near perfect weather year-round. Rio has excellent restaurants, sophisticated nightlife, world-class shopping and fantastic sightseeing.
Peru's appeal is endless, with a range of natural and man-made wonders. The highlands, home to the condor, and countless indiginous communities, were the heartland of the ancient Inca Empire and alongside the colonial gems of Cuzco and Arequipa, Machu Picchu is the most famous example of the extraordinary architectural legacy that was left behind. To the east, the mountains shelve away and give in to the dense vegetation and rich fauna of the Amazon Basin, a must on any visit to Peru.
Ecuador may be small, but its geographical diversity is staggering and changes dramatically from its eastern to eastern borders. Its bio-diverse Amazon rainforest is alive with swooping scarlet macaws and spider monkeys bouncing off virgin canopy. Up in the culturally rich highland area, colourful Indian markets, smoking volcanoes and striking colonial towns are in abundance. The Andes then slip away to the lush coastal area and far out in the Pacific Ocean lie the submerged volcanic peaks of the Galápagos Islands, a sanctuary for unique wildlife.
To visit the Galápagos is to experience one of the world's most sought-after and most enthralling wildlife locations. It is a unique environment, an archipelago right on the equator, 1000 kilometres west of the Ecuadorian coast, where an amazing range of life exists with absolutely no fear of man.
One of the most geographically and culturally diverse countries in South America, Argentina will amaze you with its myriad attractions. From the stark deserts of the north-west to the windswept plains of Patagonia, the snow-capped peaks of the Andes to the thundering falls of Iguazú - the sheer range of drama is staggering. Settled by immigrants from across the world, the country has a unique identity and one of the most beautiful capitals in the world.
Witness the awe-inspiring beauty and amazing wildlife spectacle of the great "White Continent" - until recently the domain only of scientists, adventurers, and the most intrepid of travellers.

This remarkable ribbon of land, rarely more than 250 kilometres wide, stretches almost 4,500 kilometres from the Atacama Desert to the glaciers of Patagonia. Chile's vast length is home to a huge variety of landscapes, from snow-capped volcanoes to the vineyard-packed Central Valley, and from the striking Lake District to the narrow fjords of the south, all sandwiched between the Pacific Ocean and the mountainous spine of the Andes. Elsewhere, the mysterious moai statues of Easter Island offer a fascinating glimpse into an ancient and unique civilisation.
Guatemala is the Mayan heart of Central America - and the ruins of Tikal are a magnificent testament to this. There are other charms too, such as the colonial city of Antigua and the lively market of Chichicastenango, not to mention the awesome volcanoes. Neighbouring Belize has landscapes that range from mountainous rainforests to coastal wetlands and tiny coral cays. Its laid-back Caribbean beaches are a great combination with a Guatemalan adventure.
Costa Rica is a paradise for nature lovers, and its size belies the amazing variety of ecosystems found within its borders. There are tropical beaches, humid rainforests, fiery volcanic peaks, steaming hot springs and mossy cloud forests which are home to a staggering array of flora and fauna. Adveturous travellers will also love the range of activities on offer, with rafting, trekking, horseback riding and mountain biking available countrywide from the Pacific coast to the Caribbean.
Mexico is a vast country which encompasses everything from arid deserts to lush tropical rainforest, and its culture is equally diverse, influenced by the ancient Mayan and Aztec civilisations, the Spanish conquistadors and modern globalisation. Spend time visiting idyllic white-sand beaches, picturesque haciendas and impressive Mayan ruins, explore colonial towns and their indiginous churches or the lively, colourful metropolis of Mexico City.
