Our winter months are the best time to visit much of Latin America, from the sun-drenched shores of Mexico and Central America to the glacial dreamscapes of Patagonia. So which will it be this year: winter wonderland or island in the sun? |

A visit to Antarctica is one of the few experiences truly deserving of the description ‘once in a lifetime’, and yet with a classic Antarctic Peninsula and South Shetlands itinerary starting at just £2,245 per person, it’s more within reach than you may imagine. A hundred years after the epic first expeditions you can still recapture the sense of adventure that inspired Shackleton, though you certainly need not suffer the privations of the early explorers. In the comfort of a modern-day expedition cruiser, guided by wildlife experts and lecturers, you can truly savour everything that this incredible environment of ice, water and rock has to offer.

Expert's Choice
|
 |
This month's expert's choice comes from Ben Line, who has based his ideal holiday for the coming winter months around the idea of a first introduction to Latin America. He’s designed a trip filled with variety, starting with the architectural gem of Antigua, Guatemala, before heading to Lake Atitlán and the lost Mayan city of Tikal. Providing a Caribbean contrast, the trip ends with a stay in Belize, with time to either wind down or snorkel with sharks and rays on Ambergris Caye. Read Ben’s full recommendation here.

PERFECT PATAGONIA
Read our Insider's Guide to Torres del Paine for a wealth of advice from a panel of Chile experts, who'll take you through the ins and outs of visiting Patagonia’s most famous attraction. Offering their tips on subjects such as the best time of year to visit, how long to stay and whether the park can be fully enjoyed without trekking, our panel provide all the information you’ll need to plan the perfect trip.
Alternatively, why not visit Torres del Paine as part of a carefully designed and superbly organised group tour? Pure Patagonia will introduce you to the three key attractions of the area: Perito Moreno Glacier, Fitz Roy national park and Torres del Paine, as well as Chile and Argentina’s dynamic capital cities, with an optional foray into Uruguay. The 11 February departure costs just £2,798 per person, including flights to and from the UK. The From Desert to Glaciers tour (9 March departure: £3,698pp) takes a different approach, visiting Torres del Paine in the context of a comprehensive journey through Chile's exceptionally diverse landscapes, including the lunar terrain of the Atacama Desert, the scenic hills and fjords of the lake district and of course Patagonia in all its rugged beauty.

MAYAN MAJESTY
In their annual list of top destinations for the coming year, Lonely Planet declared the Ruta Maya its Nº2 destination in the world to visit in 2012 – which is notoriously the year in which the Mayan calendar runs out. You can vote for the Mayan ruin you would most like to visit in our special Facebook gallery.
The Mayan sites of Mexico and Central America provide a fascinating accompaniment to dazzling beaches and vibrant living cultures and make for an unforgettable winter escape: the best time to visit is between December and May. Our Mayan Cities and the Caribbean Coast tailor-made holiday is a 9-day taste of the Mayan Riviera starting at just £927 per person, while the suggested route of our Remote Mayan Sites and Wild Coast trip takes you to little-visited ruined cities shrouded in rainforest and to the uncrowded beach resort of Celestún from £2,366 per person.

SURREAL SALT FLATS
A trip of extremes, our Highlights of Bolivia with Chile tour sets thermometers reeling with a route that starts in the chilly highland capital of Bolivia, La Paz, before dropping 3,000km in a single journey down to subtropical Coroico. Then it's on to the altiplano for more crisp cold nights and a mesmerising journey across the Uyuni Salt Flats on to the desert warmth of Atacama via multicoloured, flamingo-filled lakes, steaming geysers and hot springs. The 15-day tailor-made holiday costs from £2,069 per person.

WALK ON THE WILD SIDE
If you like your winter holidays hot and steamy, head to the Amazon or the Misiones province of Argentina. Take a look at our Amazon holidays for an idea of just some of the ways to visit the gargantuan rainforest, encompassing Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia and Colombia and supporting the world's most biodiverse ecosystem.
Misiones is a relatively little-known part of Argentina but one that plays host to some of South America's most easily observed fauna. The Iberá Wetlands are similar to Brazil's Pantanal in terms of wildlife-spotting opportunities, and are close to the unparalleled Iguazú Falls. In our Naturally Argentina 2-week holiday from £2,498 per person, we've combined these two amazing attractions with the Valdés Peninsula, where until March you can see huge rookeries of penguins.
