Latin America...Wherever you live in the contiguous United States, you are just a few hours flying time away from Central America. From the textiles of Guatemala to the volcanoes of Costa Rica to scuba diving in Belize, Central America offers delightfully distinctive destinations close to home. It also serves as the vital biological bridge between North and South America. Its verdant wilderness, volcanic mountain ranges, and untainted beaches and rivers support a diversity of plant and animal life that is simply unrivaled. Whether you are looking for active jungle hikes, culturally enriching itineraries, or just a relaxing getaway in lush surroundings...

A new friend...Machu Picchu, Peru

And South America, land of mystery, legend and exquisite beauty... Consider a region that includes such archeological treasures as the fabled Incan city of Machu Picchu and Easter Island’s magnificent statues. This vast continent boasts unique and diverse habitats, including the volcanic Galapagos Islands, majestic Iguassu Falls, the icescapes of Patagonia, the great Atacama Desert, and the spectacular spine that is the Andes Mountain range. But it doesn’t stop there!

At the heart of South America lies the Amazon rainforest; the realm of one of the greatest rivers and richest ecological zones on our planet. Add to this dynamic mix sophisticated cities, award-winning wineries, authentic cultural exchanges, luxury resorts, and off-the-beaten-track adventures. Whether you are looking for the high adventure of trekking glaciers and exploring ruins or the more sedate pleasures of shopping chic boutiques and staying at historic estancias, you are certain to find the ideal vacation experience with Big Five in South and/or Central America.

Tour Destinations:

Argentina: Argentina, the second largest country in South America, is a land of dramatic natural attractions including three of South America’s “must see” scenic wonders: powerful Iguassu Falls, the stunning alpine scenery of the Lake District and Bariloche, and astonishing Perito Moreno Glacier.

Belize: The least inhabited Central American country, Belize combines the rarest wildlife of Central America, the finest Caribbean beaches, and the most flamboyant marine life in the western hemisphere.

Bolivia: Its little explored countryside has some of the last great tracts of wilderness remaining in the Americas, including the “Lost World” mesas of Noel Kempf Mercado National Park, home to virtually all of the major Amazon mammals and many birds found nowhere else.

Brazil: In addition to world famous beaches and nightlife, its beautiful colonial villages, futuristic cities, dense Amazon jungle, vast inland Pantanal nature preserve, and immense Iguassu Falls, all combine to make Brazil a diverse and exciting vacation destination.

Chile: With its long, slender form reaching from the tropics to rugged Patagonia and the icy southern tip of the continent, Chile presents an incredible menu of landscapes and experiences from which to select.

Costa Rica: Outdoor enthusiasts love Costa Rica’s wealth of national parks and wildlife reserves set in diverse habitats from volcanic mountain ranges to cloud forests to welcoming beaches.

Ecuador: For a country so compact, Ecuador is unsurpassed among Andean nations for its richness of ecological and cultural diversity. It offers a stunning array of landscapes and travel experiences.

Galapagos: The Galapagos Islands are a rare destination where you become accustomed to surprises. Nothing quite compares to the thrill of close-up viewing of animals that remain unafraid of humans. The islands claim the world’s only seagoing lizards, flightless cormorants and penguins, frigate birds, clownish boobies, noble tortoises and 13 species of Darwin finches. Further information can be found on the Galapagos FAQ page.

Guatemala: With its wild volcanic and jungle landscapes, atmospheric colonial towns, stunning Mayan sites, and famous Indian markets, Guatemala offers a vibrant sampling of the diversity of Central America.

Honduras: A wealth of biodiversity is preserved in its cloud-forest mountains, tropical rainforests, bird-rich lakes, and Caribbean coral reefs. The most famous feature in Honduras is the Mayan “lost city” of Copan.

Nicaragua: Impressive colonial cities are a study in contrasts: Leon with its vibrant university culture, stately Granada on the shore of Lake Nicaragua, and Managua, international gateway known for Acahualina Footprints of ancient people and animals fleeing a volcanic eruption.

Panama: Panama’s small size belies its richness of cultures and natural and manmade attractions. Snorkel in turquoise waters teeming with brilliant coral reefs.

Peru: Peru is home to a plethora of world-famous South American sights: Machu Picchu, ‘Lost City of the Incas,’ the mysterious Nazca Lines, the royal tombs of Sipan, rainforests of the upper Amazon River; and majestic Andes Mountains. Add to that Colca Canyon, twice as deep as the Grand Canyon, and Lake Titicaca.

Uruguay: Beautiful beaches, world-class golf courses and the fashionable shops of Montevideo and, especially, Punta del Este, serve as premier playgrounds for the continent’s “jet set.”

Venezuela: Venezuela is a land of incredible natural beauty, variety, and superlative sights such as the world’s highest waterfall and South America’s second longest river.
