Colombia is a patchwork of picturesque coastlines, bustling cities, diverse landscapes and colonial charm. With much to see and do, our specialists have shortlisted their top five things to see and do in Colombia.

A first timer’s guide

Our Latin America specialist Grant tells us why his heart lies in Brazil, a country defined by its natural beauty, exotic wildlife, spectacular landscapes and legendary beach hot spots. Brazil is simply made for travel and has something to offer even the most discerning traveller.

Caipirinhas

Our Latin America specialist Sinead knows her cocktails, and on a recent trip to Brazil she became very accustomed to their national drink, the Caipirinha. This cocktail is rooted in Brazilian culture, so what better way get under the skin of Brazil than with one (or two) cheeky Caipirinhas. Read on to find out why it’s so popular and have a go at perfecting your own...

14 fascinating facts

The Latin America team have put together 14 weird and wonderful facts we bet you didn’t know about Brazil. They are nearly as diverse and whacky as the country itself!

The Green Season

Costa Rica is one of Central America’s hottest and most exciting destinations to travel to right now! A lot of people get put off by the idea of visiting in the green season - what we call the rainy season, yet it’s probably one of the most vibrant, lushest and freshest times to see the country in all its glory. The Latin America team have been working together, to come up with ten (very important) reasons as to why the green season is a great time to travel to Costa Rica.

Costa Rica… Pura Vida!

Here, our Marketing Manager Emily gets under the skin of Costa Rica and shows us that it’s so much more than just natural beauty and adventure, but a place of complete positivity and warmth.

Kids saving the rainforest

During a trip to Costa Rica back in May, Latin America specialist Scarlett visited the Kids Saving the Rainforest Wildlife Reserve and Sanctuary – a project developed by Janine Licare and Aislin Livingstone when they were just 9 years old. Hearing how the two young girls had been moved to save the rainforest of Costa Rica left Scarlett utterly inspired and wowed after her visit to the sanctuary.

Imagine Latin America’s top destinations for 2016

As 2015 draws to a close, we’ve put together a list of our top five destinations to visit in Latin America in 2016…

Colombia – an up and coming holiday destination enjoying a travel renaissance

Having managed to shake off its edgy reputation, Colombia is enjoying a travel renaissance as the newest rising star of South America. We are delighted to see this fantastic country rising to fame on the tourist scene, and in 2015 we sent a record number of people to Colombia. We are predicting an even bigger year for Colombia in 2016, as the nation’s economy continues to strengthen and infrastructure across the country carries on improving. As final negotiations take place for a peace pact, the country is safer and more stable than ever before and always brings in fantastic feedback from our clients. An up and coming holiday destination offering palm-fringed beaches, snow-capped mountains, fabulous colonial cities, Amazonian rainforest and seven UNESCO World Heritage sites, we’re tipping Colombia as the destination for 2016.

Brazil – experiencing all the benefits that go with being the Olympic host nation

2016 is set to be a huge year for Brazil; you must have been hiding under a stone if you haven’t heard the buzz surrounding this vibrant Latino country! Years in the making and following in the success of the 2014 World Cup, the Olympics will be opening in Rio in August, and we are certain they will do a fantastic job. Whether you want to soak up the buzz of the games themselves or just take advantage of the improved infrastructure that has spread across the country as a result of the Olympic preparations, 2016 is a great year to tick Brazil off your bucket list. Go and be dazzled by a country fuelled by samba beats, carnival fever and a legendary beach culture.

Latin America in 2016

Our Brazil Highlights sample itinerary is a great starting point for a trip to Brazil, and can be tailored into your perfect trip. Talk to our specialists on 020 7622 1116 for information on incorporating the Olympic Games in your trip to Brazil.

Costa Rica – a stunning country set to gain popularity with new direct flights from the UK

A beach-enclosed eco-wonderland located at the exact centre of the Americas, Costa Rica has long been a favourite with Imagine clients. However, a lack of direct flights has meant it hasn’t always been the easiest destination to get to. This is all changing! Back in the summer British Airways announced they would be launching direct flights from London Gatwick to San Jose from May 2016. With no more lengthy connections putting people off, we’re expecting Costa Rica’s popularity to go through the roof! Offering a unique showcase of dazzling jungles filled with pastel-coloured hummingbirds and playful monkeys, unspoilt primary rainforests, unsurpassed national parks, marimba beats and gourmet coffee, now is the time to get to Costa Rica!

Latin America in 2016

Check out our Deluxe Rainforest and Beach itinerary – a brilliant trip for wildlife lovers that can be tailored just for you. Give our specialists on 020 7622 1116 to start planning your trip.

Galapagos – the sooner you see the weird and wonderful endemic wildlife of these islands the better

Famous for their incredibly fearless and unique wildlife, the Galapagos Islands are some of the world’s most spectacular volcanic islands, found just off the coast of Ecuador. You can swim with sea lions, float eye-to-eye with a penguin, stand next to a blue-footed booby feeding its young, watch a giant tortoise lumbering through a cactus forest, and try to dodge the iguanas scurrying over the lava. As with all endemic wildlife, the threat of extinction is a real worry and conservationists are working very hard to preserve this unique eco-system. To experience the Galapagos Islands in their full glory, don’t delay; book a trip to this weird and wonderful destination in 2016.

Latin America in 2016

What better way to explore the Galapagos Islands than on the area’s newest boat – the MC Petrel. Speak to our specialists on 020 7622 1116 to book your Galapagos cruise.

Peru – a thrilling adventure playground set to reap the benefits of new direct flights from the UK

Epic landscapes, jaw-dropping archaeological sites, fabulous wildlife and ancient cultures define Peru: a land of contrasts. But despite being the third largest country in South America, Peru is another destination that has never been reachable direct from the UK. We’re delighted to be able to say that this won’t be the case for much longer! Along with their direct flights to Costa Rica, British Airways have also added a new route from London Gatwick to Lima starting in May 2016, making Peru more accessible than ever before. So make 2016 the year you visit this spectacular country. From the Amazon rainforest and Andean peaks to the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu and the puzzling Nazca Lines, Peru is one of the world's most thrilling adventure playgrounds, and with this new direct flight route, the country’s appeal is only set to grow.
