New partners Journey Latin AmericaOur partners are Brazil nuts for Half Term

We'd like to say a big warm Hola to our family travel partners - Journey Latin America. If you fancy taking your family on a life-changing holiday during the October half-term then why not take a look at some examples of fun-filled family holidays they offer. Take a look at the Mexican Ride in Mexico, Nature's Trail in Costa Rica and the Garza Tour in Peru.

Journey Latin America offer both tailor-made trips and escorted group tours, (now accepting teenagers 14 and up on any group tour departure), across the length and breadth of Latin America: from waddling with penguins in Antarctica to climbing up temples swathed in rainforest in Guatemala; from snorkelling with sea lions in the Galápagos Islands to horse-riding along beautiful Brazilian beaches.

Whether your family likes learning about different cultures, spotting exotic wildlife, outdoor activities, or even all three, Journey Latin America can create the perfect family-friendly itinerary for the school holidays.
