Kuoni releases latest Latin America brochure

Kuoni has released its latest Latin America brochure that brings together the 15 colourful countries and destinations that make up Latin America including Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Galapagos, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. The brochure is valid September 2010 to December 2011.

Tamara Diethelm, Head of Commercial and Market Management at Kuoni said: "Latin America, of all the regions around the world, probably offers the most exciting and diverse landscapes, diversions and cultures and we’ve put together more for nature lovers, explorers, free spirits and beach lovers this year to make the adventure even more unforgettable."

The brochure highlights authentic Latin America experiences such as learning from historians, gauchos, tango and samba professionals, wine experts, polo players, chefs and bartenders around the region, all offering the best indigenous experiences.

Honeymooners booking a deluxe oceanfront room at Live Aqua Cancun, Mexico are guaranteed a room upgrade and 30-minute massage while all bookings at Cancun's Secrets Maroma/Dreams Tulum Riviera resort paradise trigger a resort credit of US$100pp per stay for customers to spend during their time at the resort.

Latin America visitors can also visit the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza, now listed as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and explore the stunning vineyards and wineries of Chile's Casablanca Valley as well as having the chance to imbibe some of the country's world-famous wines.

When on Argentina holidays travellers can learn ride polo horses at one of the vast ranches that dot the countryside. By the end of the day visitors will know all about polo equipment and technique before being taught how to play the game at an authentic 'estancia' called Villa Maria, complete with lunch and afternoon tea.

The new brochure will also allow tourists to discover the newly expanding area on the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Golfo de Papagayo's tropical setting with beautiful beaches overlooking the Pacific is the backdrop for the four-star all-inclusive Hilton Papagayo and the five-star Four Seasons Resort Papagayo hotel.

More Costa Rica beach holidays are on offer at Tamarindo, a former fishing village, with pristine beaches and superb natural surroundings. Stay at either the new 3.5 star all-inclusive Barcelo Langosta Beach or the four-star established Hotel Capitan Suizo hotels.

Cruises around the natural paradise that is the Galapagos Islands on the Yacht La Pinta are also highlighted, giving Kuoni customers the chance to learn from a team of naturalist guides about the famous birdlife that Charles Darwin discovered.

A new direct, twice weekly service of flights from Gatwick airport to the Mexican beach resort starts on 3 November 2010.
