A sensory adventure from start to finish, everything about a Latin America trip leaves a little magic behind.
Latin America
A landscape of great extremes, it would take a thesaurus to describe Latin America in its entirety. From the soaring mountains and hulking glaciers of Patagonia and the postcard-perfect shores of Costa Rica, to the steamy Amazon where the biodiversity is enough to boggle the mind, this continent is the stuff of dreams. On an adventure in Latin America, you could find yourself in the world’s driest desert, boating through the mists of Iguazu Falls (a Natural Wonder of the World), floating in a hot air balloon above the coffee plantations of Colombia or discovering ancient Incan history at Machu Picchu (and beyond!). And the people? They exude a wonderful warmth that makes you feel instantly at home, no matter how wild your surroundings.
Tropical jungles, towering peaks, cities, beaches and some seriously cool wildlife… Latin America is about as diverse as it gets. There’s certainly an experience for everyone, but what about a season? The continent is spread over the equator and seasons flip between hemispheres, so whatever month you would like to travel, there will be somewhere that fits the bill Some destinations thrive year-round (hello, Galápagos), while others are best avoided in certain months (the Amazon in the wet season isn’t ideal…). Here’s the ultimate month-by-month guide to help you plan your dream trip.
