RIO DE JANEIRO Escape the British winter


While Britain braces for a typically grey winter, Latin America beckons with guaranteed sunshine, ancient civilisations and adventures that make every mile worthwhile


With over 165 routes connecting 80 destinations across 25 countries, Avianca’s extensive network — as a Star Alliance member — transforms the continent from a distant dream into an achievable multi- country adventure. It’s ideal for British travellers who are seeking extraordinary experiences beyond Europe’s familiar boundaries. This pioneering airline — the


second oldest in the world today — has grown into the region’s most comprehensive aviation network, offering unmatched access to UNESCO World Heritage Sites, pristine rainforests, vibrant cities where ancient civilisations meet modern innovation, and hidden cultural gems that only local expertise can reveal.


FOUR GATEWAY CITIES TO ENDLESS ADVENTURES Among Avianca’s destinations, four capitals stand out as perfect starting points for ambitious British explorers ready to discover multiple countries in one unforgettable journey. • Bogotá is Colombia’s high-altitude cultural heart, where morning coffee rituals happen at 2,600 metres above sea level. Sip world- renowned Colombian coffee in local cafes, explore stunning street art in La Candelaria’s colonial streets and immerse yourself in live music. From Bogotá, Avianca connects Colombia’s Caribbean beaches, UNESCO-listed coffee valleys and Amazon wilderness.


• Lima reigns as South America’s undisputed gastronomic capital,


where restaurants consistently rank among the world’s finest, showcasing indigenous Peruvian ingredients through innovative techniques. Beyond Lima’s world- class culinary scene, Avianca connects visitors to Cusco for the iconic Machu Picchu trek — a UNESCO World Heritage wonder — and onward to countless South American highlights.


• Quito offers one of Latin America’s most beautifully preserved colonial centres — another UNESCO gem — framed by snow-capped volcanoes. Visit the famous Mitad del Mundo monument, then seamlessly extend your journey to the Galápagos Islands for wildlife encounters, or the Amazon for trekking adventures.


• Rio de Janeiro delivers carnival energy, the iconic Copacabana and Ipanema beaches, and year- round tropical warmth that makes British winters feel distant. From contemporary art in Santa Teresa to Amazon gateways, Avianca’s Brazilian network makes regional exploration effortless.


THE ART OF COMBINED TRAVEL What sets Avianca apart for UK visitors is its ability to create seamless continental adventures. With local crews who know Latin America intimately and as a Star Alliance member connecting you to the world, it makes exploring diverse destinations easier than ever. Imagine starting in Mexico City


by exploring Aztec pyramids, then flying to Costa Rica’s Pacific beaches for surfing, continuing to Peru for Machu Picchu trekking, and finishing in Argentina’s wine valleys — all with one airline network. These interconnected adventures


maximise your time away from Britain’s unpredictable weather.


A NETWORK BUILT FOR AMBITIOUS EXPLORERS Avianca’s network makes comprehensive exploration effortless. With its direct flights linking key capitals and smooth connections across 25 countries, you can design ambitious itineraries that previously required juggling multiple airlines. Whether combining Guatemala’s highlands with Mexico’s ancient sites, or connecting Chile’s wine regions with Patagonia’s wilderness, Avianca makes Latin America feel closer and more connected. As a Star Alliance member,


Avianca connects British visitors not just to Latin America, but to the world — offering seamless connections from UK departure points, unified booking systems, and loyalty benefits across the global network. With 105 years of expertise


connecting cultures and continents, Avianca remains the most direct way to experience Latin America’s guaranteed sunshine, UNESCO treasures, diverse landscapes and endless opportunities for cultural immersion and active adventure tailored to British explorers’ aspirations.
