Intrepid offers a new route to Peru’s Machu Picchu
While the Inca Trail has long been the classic route to Peru’s most famous monument, Intrepid Travel is taking travellers a different way on its new tour. Beginning in Cusco, the Salkantay Trek and Machu Picchu tour sees groups walking for a week through jungles, cloud forests and mountain passes, including a challenge that many other visitors skip: the climb up Machu Picchu Mountain itself, which rewards you with unrivalled views over the iconic Inca ruins. intrepidtravel.com
Mexico’s status as a co-host of the 2026 FIFA World Cup (along with Canada and the US) led to Mexico City’s legendary Estadio Azteca getting a long-awaited facelift. It’s now one of the best places in Latin America to watch a game of football, and you don’t need to wait for an international fixture — as the regular home of Club América, there are games held here throughout the year. Alongside upgraded seating, there’s a host of new restaurants for match-going fans to enjoy. estadiobanorte.com.mx
