Luxury Latin America Holidays

Unique Cultures, Vibrant Cities and Diverse Landscapes.

Latin America dances to its own beat: the sounds of salsa, samba, and the tango. At festival or carnival time you’ll be swept away with the rhythms and the energy, strutting your stuff on the streets.

The vibrancy and variety of this continent is incredible, reflecting not only indigenous traditions but also the diverse cultures of European settlers. With Journeysmiths you can uncover the ruins of lost cities, walk the streets of UNESCO towns, and sit a while in the peace of cathedrals and convents.

Latin America’s man-made sites are juxtaposed with its natural wonders. Wherever you stay, the jungles, mountains, salt flats, and deserts are only ever a short journey away. The variety and proximity of such megadiverse habitats enable an incalculable number of species to thrive.

This is a land for authentic adventures, whether you are hiking through the ice fields of Patagonia, sailing amongst the islands of the Galapagos, or standing atop a volcano looking out at panoramic views.

Destinations To Explore In Latin America

You could journey here for a decade and still be discovering something new.When it comes to unique cultures, vibrant cities and diverse landscapes, Latin America demands superlatives.
