WILD INTO THE 14 L ATIN AMERICA TRAVEL TRENDS


Explore the incredible landscapes and diverse wildlife of Latin America. Words: Karl Cushing


rom the biodiverse Amazon River Basin and wildlife-rich wetlands of the Pantanal to frozen Antarctica and the world’s driest desert, you could spend a lifetime exploring Latin America’s contrasting landscapes and observing its wildlife, much of it highly localised and endemic. With the recent trend towards soft adventure


and experiential travel, the region’s wild offering has never been in such demand, each area bringing its own reward. “There’s not much the continent doesn’t offer,” said Katie Cosstick of


Cox & Kings, whose current strong sellers include Chile. “The contrast of the lunar desert landscapes of the Atacama Desert with the mountains and glaciers of Torres del Paine is an amazing combination for just one country,” she commented, adding that one of her personal favourite areas is the Falklands. “The islands offer a fantastic wildlife experience,” she explained. “The vast open spaces and pristine shorelines are home to a fascinating array of sub-Antarctic life, including elephant seals and rockhopper, king, gentoo, Magellanic and macaroni penguins, plus a host of Southern Ocean bird species.” There are countless unmissable wild experiences to be had across


Latin America:. These are easily accessible, popular options, with enough of an 'off-the-beaten-track' side to appeal to the truly adventurous.
