Owing to many clients' preference for flexibility, and the variation in flight price according to season and availability, the price quoted excludes the cost of international flights, which we will happily arrange for you. Flights to Latin America can be daytime or overnight, while the return flight is always overnight, so you will need to add at least one day to arrive at the total length of your holiday.

From the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic, this cross section of Latin America not only includes the continent's highlights but also allows you to appreciate the vast range of cultures co-existing within what we call South America. The scenery is awesome, but you'll also have time to savour great local cuisine and local wines, fiestas, shows, and shopping opportunities.
