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.

Our comment

The great civilisations of Latin America, the Inca and the Maya, have left indelible traces on the culture and landscape of Peru and Mexico respectively. Their monumental cities, with temples, palaces, fortresses, ritual sacrifice sites, and playing fields, while differing in style, are always evocative and often located in countryside of astounding beauty. We have brought them together into one rich holiday, where the Spanish colonial culture the two countries share is also on magnificent display.
