Latin America seems to be flavour of the month on the BBC... Jonathan Dimbleby embarks upon A South American Journey covering over 6,000 miles, visiting Chile, Bolivia, Colombia, Venezuela and Brazil! These programmes offer a fascinating insight into the colourful life and people of South America.

With this in mind we thought you might like to hear about some of our recent adventures to the Americas, however there is no real substitute for exploring these year round destinations for yourself!
