This was our 1999 Contours Travel team, WHAT a lovely bunch they were (and still are!). We're remembering the past 50 years in 2025 as it's Ted's 50th year in travel to South America - and it was with a lot of hard work and just as much fun, that Ted and the team made that happen.

Love the vests!

"I would just like to say that I was very impressed with my trip to Antarctica and South America last year.
It is the first time that we had ever been on a fully organised trip - we normally just fly by the seat of our pants – and it went without a hitch. Everyone we were meeting were where they were supposed to be, when they were supposed to be, and it made for a much less stressful holiday.
The Antarctica part of the trip was exceptional. The food was great, the facilities were great, and the staff were great. In fact the staff went out of their way to make sure that each passenger got the most out of their trip. They even went the extra mile by detouring the ship by about half a day or so to enable us to travel up the side of the worlds’ largest iceberg, A23a.
Thanks for an awesome trip."
- David, B.

Five Reasons to visit Costa Rica in the Green (rainy) season

Waiting for Costa Rica’s more popular dry season? You may be missing out on the 'pura vida' experience of the green (rainy) season, which runs from May to November. Here are some reasons to visit Costa Rica in the green season, rain showers and all: • Coffee harvest begins: Coffee harvest in the Central Valley begins in the green season, and a tour on a coffee plantation such as Hacienda Doka becomes much more exciting. • Hotel bargains abound: Some hotels drop their rates significantly in the green season, charging about 30 percent less. Ask us for the latest green season hotel promotions. • The rainforest is more exciting: Impossible as it seems, the green season is proof that Costa Rica can be even more lush, abundant, and, well, green. The forest comes alive in the rainy season, especially at night, for example during a Monteverde night walk. • Turtles & whales: A visit in the green season coincides with the turtle nesting and hatching season. Known as the ‘arribada’ (arrival), thousands of sea turtles emerge from the ocean and lay eggs on Costa Rica’s beaches between March and November. Also, the Southern Hemisphere humpback whales travel from Antarctica to Costa Rica from late July through October. Need expert guidance on travel to Latin America, South America or Antarctica?
