Journey Latin America unveils ‘Covid-conscious’ holiday brand


Samantha Mayling


Journey Latin America has launched holidays under a new brand, offering nine ‘Covid-conscious’ trips to Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, the Galápagos, Peru and Uruguay. Trailblazer holidays are aimed at those who want to


visit as soon as a country’s travel restrictions are lifted. Slower-paced itineraries incorporate hotels in


secluded locations. Where possible, Trailblazer trips are based on private services and overland transport either in a private vehicle with a driver or as a self-drive to allow ‘bubble’ arrangements. The first is Trailblazer Cuba, a 10-day self-drive


holiday featuring Havana, Trinidad and Viñales. It costs £2,290 and includes direct flights, hire car and hotels on a B&B basis. Stuart Whittington, head of product at Journey


Latin America, said: “As the world begins to open up again, we have put together a selection of Covid- conscious itineraries specifically designed for travels
