Make your travelling dreams a reality. If not now, when?

Though we offer services in many Central and South American countries, we’re always dreaming of new destinations to explore. Here are some at the top of our list for the rest of the year, and why we’re so eager to visit them.

Bali (Indonesia)

What’s not to love about Bali’s lush landscape, stunning beach scenery, and friendly culture?

We’re dreaming of a few days exploring the rice paddy fields, followed with some delicious veg-heavy local food, and a couple afternoons spent recovering on one of Bali’s many world-class beaches.

Beautiful and delicious—what a treat!

Destinations Worth Dreaming Image: A series of carved steps make a path, and is surrounded by statues. In this water feature swim koi fish. Pagodas and trees are seen along the edge.

This looks like a perfect opportunity to reflect, and seek serenity.

Chile

You already know we love South America, and we’re excited to continue planning Chilean adventures through the end of 2020(and beyond!)

Whether you want culture (like in bustling Santiago), history (wandering among the Moai on Easter Island), or adventure (among the towering peaks of Patagonia), Chile has something for everyone. See?

The colourful architecture which dots the landscape is something to step back and appreciate.

Rocky grey scenery with the occasional dusting of snow, blue-green waters, azure skies, and a series of golds and burnt siennas. Nature has a wonderful colour palette.

Bhutan

If you’re looking for dramatic landscapes that seamlessly blend with deep spirituality, the Kingdom of Bhutan is the perfect destination for you.

This small Asian country sits at the footsteps of the Himalayas, one of the last vestiges of the ancient kingdoms that dominated this part of the world. It is both intensely different and welcoming, and the perfect spot for travelers looking to get off the beaten path.

Destinations Worth Dreaming Image: Colourful flags and fabrics are suspended throughout as we see buildings leading up a mountainside.

Emerging from the mist of the Himalayas is Bhutan—a country which measures "Gross National Happiness."

Destinations Worth Dreaming Image: This photograph taken from above shows a city scene below—a change of pace from some of the architecture found in more remote regions.

Though shrouded in the mountains, Bhutan is not without its infrastructure.

Colombia never fails to surprise. Stroll the colorful streets of Cartagena’s old town, and relax in the chill vibes of Medellin. We’re eager to show you around.

Mexico

Ah, Mexico. For many U.S citizens, it’s so close — yet few have visited. We want to change that (for ourselves, and for you) in 2020 and beyond.

Craving some culture in Mexico City’s floating Xochimilco neighborhood? Want to unwind in one of the relaxed surfing downs along the southern coasts? We feel you!
