Take me there →
Guatemala

Guatemala

The lost Maya city of Tikal emerges from the jungle accompanied by calls of macaws and monkeys. With over 3,000 structures, shrines, temples, terraces and plazas, Tikal is the largest of its kind in the region and a site to behold.

Planes, trains and automobiles - sometimes the journey, and how you undertake it, is just as important as the destination. From driving on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula to travelling on the world's most southerly railway, choices abound.

Take me there →
Argentina

With glacial lakes, verdant forests and soaring granite peaks, the Los Glaciares National Park in Argentine Patagonia is a Mecca for walkers. From day walks to multi-day treks, the serene beauty and undisturbed wildlife will not disappoint.
