Latin America & the Caribbean
With Cuba’s culture, Bermuda’s pink-sand beaches and Ecuador’s national parks, there’s a string of unforgettable experiences awaiting you. Let Black Watch be your guide to discovering an array of incredible sights, from Mayan ruins and coral reefs, to picturesque lakes and exquisite architecture. You’ll also visit the remote islands of the Azores, enjoy an overnight stay in the city of Havana, and transit the engineering marvel that is the Panama Canal.
Temple of Kukulcan, Chichén Itzá
Your holiday begins with the diverse, emerald-green islands of the Azores. First stop is Ponta Delgada, the gateway to the extinct Sete Cidades Volcano. Marvel at the two spectacular crater lakes – one is blue, reflecting the sky, and the other is bright green due to the beautiful rich vegetation that surrounds it. Alternatively, venture into the Furnas Valley to see hot springs and steaming fumaroles, or explore the subtropical gardens of Terra Nostra Park. Horta is an unspoilt treasure on the hard-to-reach island of Faial. It is home to beautiful landscapes of craters, lakes, sheer cliffs and lush valleys, as well as the intriguing volcanic structures, Caldeira and Capelinhos.
Bermuda is where you’ll find some of the best beaches in the world. Blessed with soft pink sands and azure waters teeming with life, they’re a haven for snorkelers and sunbathers alike. The spectacular Crystal Caves – home to an array of crystallised stalactites and stalagmites – are also a must-see.
What follows is sure to be one of the highlights of your cruise. The fabled city of Havana is doused in history, most notably from the Communist
Revolution. Scattered around you’ll encounter exquisite architecture, colourful vintage cars and cobbled streets, while the squares are alive with the irresistible rhythms of mambo. Take a stroll around UNESCO-listed Habana Vieja (Old Havana) to soak up the Latin atmosphere; see the city’s main sights from the back seat of a classic American car; or discover the history of rum and cigars – two of the products Cuba is famed for.
Cozumel then presents you with a plethora of sights, from Mayan ruins to coral reefs and sandy beaches. Extended tours offer the chance to step back in time on a visit to the Mayan city of Tulum, or see one of the New Seven Wonders of the World – the Pyramid of Kukulcan – in the legendary ruins of Chichén Itzá.
Next Black Watch will transit one of Earth’s greatest engineering marvels, the Panama Canal, before heading to the Ecuadorean city of Manta – your final port of call. You can opt for a trip to Montecristi, home of the Panama Hat, or visit the tropical Pacoche Forest, which is bursting with flora and fauna. Enjoy all this before ending your adventure in Callao, Peru.
