Off-the-Beaten-Track Holidays in Latin America: Explore Hidden Gems

Venture Beyond the Tourist Trail: Explore Latin America's Hidden Wonders

Latin America is a treasure trove of diverse landscapes, fascinating wildlife, and rich history.

These lesser-known destinations offer a chance to experience the authentic charm of Latin America, far away from the crowds.

Venture into the lush jungles of Costa Rica, where you can spot the elusive Resplendent Quetzal, or immerse yourself in the unique Amerindian cultures of Guyana.

These off-the-beaten-track experiences offer unforgettable adventures for those seeking something different.

Whether you're an adventure seeker, history buff, or nature lover, Latin America has something for everyone. Our expert Travel Specialists are ready to help you design your dream itinerary, tailored to your interests, ensuring you experience the hidden gems of the region like never before.

What Our Clients Say About Us

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.

Helen R
Stayed August 2024

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.

This is an excellent company. I worked with Paul, who was very knowledgeable and patient when organising my itinerary. There is no pressure selling. Recommend them for South America trips!
