Latin America and the Caribbean
Sponsor this regionPre-Columbian cities such as Machu Picchu and Teotihuacan sit beside colonial towns laid out by Spanish and Portuguese planners, and beside some of the richest ecosystems on Earth: the Galápagos, the Pantanal and Iguazú. Altitude matters in the Andes, where a day of acclimatising is sensible, and the rainy season closes some roads and trails, so check before you book.
