With the best spots for Christmas now booked up, beat the post-celebration blues by planning ahead. Specialist tour operator, Journey Latin America, shares the best destinations to visit in the New Year.
Colombia:
Once the jealously guarded secret of backpackers, Colombia is now raising its profile as an attractive destination for upmarket travellers looking for a bit of spice and adventure. An atmospheric country, the friendliest people and white-sand beaches with a history of pirates and precious stones, it has it all.
How to do it: 11-day Highlights of Colombia: culture and coffee visits Bogotá, Zona Cafetera and Cartagena. It costs from £3,296pp based on two sharing, including flights from London, all transfers, B&B accommodation, most meals and excursions.
Uruguay:
Having launched up to 4 new flights a week from Europe, the influx of smart, new hotels in Carmelo and San Ignacio combined with the food and wine aspect, Uruguay is on the rise.
How to do it: 14-day Signature Uruguay: Land of vintage charm visits Buenos Aires in Argentina, Colonia, the beaches of Punta del Este and Montevideo in Uruguay. It costs from £4,216pp based on two sharing, including international flights, domestic flights, all transfers, B&B accommodation, most meals and excursions.
Nicaragua:
Get there before it is too late; with an airport opening on Ometepe Island, a bridge being built in Rio San Juan (connecting Nicaragua to Costa Rica) and plans to open the proposed shipping route (grand canal), Nicaragua is opening up.
How to do it: 13-day Luxury Nicaragua & Costa Rica visits San Jose, the central highlands and central valleys, Granada and the Pacific Coast. It costs from £4,230pp based on two sharing, including flights from London, all transfers, top-notch accommodation, most meals and excursions.
