Visit Colombia: Latin America’s best-kept secret

Sitting at the top of the South American continent with coastlines on both the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, Colombia is a spectacular blend of dramatic and beautiful coastline, unspoiled jungle, majestic mountains, vibrant culture and so much more. This incredible country attracts far fewer visitors than some of its bigger-named neighbours, but don’t let this fool you – Colombia is a hidden gem just waiting to be discovered.

Thank you to Sarah at Latin Routes for creating a seamless itinerary for our trip to North Argentina. Everything was thought of and well planned in advance.

Look no further if you are planning to go to South America. The trip to Chile was clockwork. The guides were excellent, and we felt really pampered in the beautiful hotels.

Sarah M. B
Stayed August 2024

Our bucket list trip to Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands had been looked forward to for a very long time. We were not disappointed! The highlight of our trip, without a doubt, was our five-day eastern cruise on the beautiful yacht La Pinta.
