Discover South and Central America in small groups

-

If you want to discover the best of South and Central America, then small group tours may be the best way to do it safely, covering all the most relevant parts for your interests and preference­s in terms of the type of accommodat­ion you are looking for and can help you save on travel costs.

The benefit of using this type of travelling arrangemen­t is that the time consuming parts of arranging your journey is given to someone else.

The driving is done by profession­als in a vetted bus, and the research is completed by someone who knows the area well.

They design an itinerary that they know will have a balanced range of sightseein­g favourites and gems they have discovered along the way.

This is especially important when travelling on a continent where english isn’t the first language.

Having fluent spanish speakers who know the language and understand the culture is a beneficial addition to your holiday plans.

People often enjoy the friendship aspect of travelling with small numbers.

It is easy to build good friendship­s that often outlast the length of the trip, and you can enjoy the benefits that come with moving around in smaller sized groups.

For instance, large tour groups can change the atmosphere and experience of a popular tiny eatery whereas small groups have far less impact and can help you see the ‘‘real’’ way of life in different countries.
