Experts In Latin America

As with most things in life experience counts and our team knows this astoundingly diverse region firsthand – we’ve lived and breathed it through our own travels and return again and again to discover new places and check in on old favourites. Our sole focus is Latin America – South America, Central America, Antarctica, Mexico and Cuba. Our passion for this region makes it a pleasure for us to continually research, explore and build relationships so that we can craft unique, exceptional holidays.

Tailor-made Private Tours

Your entire journey is designed personally for you and how you want to experience Latin America. You will travel at your pace, accompanied by private guides and drivers with private, air conditioned vehicles. Once we have a good understanding of just what you’re looking for we begin to create a holiday that is perfect for you. For us, that’s one of the most rewarding parts of working in a specialist travel company; designing unique journeys to suit individual tastes, budgets and desires.

24/7 In-Country Assistance

Our in-country partners are among the very best – many have been with us since we began in 1995. Whilst you are on your holiday you can rest assured there is always someone on hand in-country to help you out when needed.  You can travel knowing you have someone looking out for you throughout your entire itinerary making sure your trip is as seamless as possible so you can spend your time enjoying this fascinating part of the world.

Guides with in depth knowledge

Many of our guides have been working with us for over a decade. The history of the region is a part of their heritage and their knowledge of historic sites has come from their ancestors as well as formal training. When you are visiting a city, historical site, wildlife sanctuary or other place of interest you are guided by someone who lives the intimate detail. Their knowledge is fundamental to ensuring your experiences are as rich as they can be.

All of our accommodation has been specifically chosen for its charm and high quality service and we will recommend hotels based on what best suits your needs and personal preferences. To ensure quality we frequently visit the properties we recommend and actively review guest feedback to ensure expectations continue to be met. You can be confident that comfort and great service awaits at every stage of your journey.

PATAGONIA FJORD CRUISE

One of the best ways to observe the dramatic scenery, flora and fauna of the Patagonian Fjords is by cruise ship. Excursions take guests off the ship to explore by foot and Zodiac (motorised inflatable boat). If you are looking for a voyage that will also offer the comfort of excellent facilities, Stella Australis and Ventus Australis are sophisticated vessels that deliver a comfortable and relaxed stay whilst exploring the more remote areas of the Patagonian Fjords.

ALTO ATACAMA

Entirely enveloped by natural surroundings, the Alto Atacama located in the Catarpe Valley of the Salt Mountain Range is truly a sight to behold. With design features influenced by local village architecture, the property manages to effortlessly blend in to the environment to appear as part of the terracotta coloured ridge that rises behind it. The combination of the setting, the sweeping views, the tranquility and silence and the hotel’s outdoor spaces make it a destination in itself.

SINGULAR PATAGONIA

The Singular Patagonia hotel occupies a meticulously converted, former cold-storage plant that dates from 1915. With soaring ceilings and restored brick and industrial features, the stunning property is warm and inviting. Each guestroom features a 6m-wide panoramic window overlooking the Patagonian fjords – the suites, with an additional large living room, have two such windows and all are furnished with mahogany writing desks, brass lamps and sepia prints of the original construction.

SINGULAR SANTIAGO

Located at the heart of the artistic and urban area of the city, The Singular Santiago Lastarria Hotel has a neo classic architectural style and was designed as a tribute to the cultural and historical surroundings. Singular luxury is made up of excellent service in an elegant atmosphere. Its restaurant is well-known both locally and internationally. The roof top bar offers wonderful views of San Cristobal hill.
