We know multi-country combos and air transfers can be complicated to plan. Let our team of experts do it for you!

THE SOUTHERN CONE
Chile (Santiago) Argentina (Mendoza, Buenos Aires) Brazil (Foz do Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro)

Experience the varied landscapes, vibrant cities, and cultural treasures of South America’s majestic Southern Cone in a single breathtaking adventure. Santiago’s culinary splendor, Mendoza’s award-winning wines, the allure of Buenos Aires at night, the mighty roar of Iguazú Falls, and dazzling Rio (and more) are yours for the taking. Come along and see South America not as it was meant to be seen, but how it was meant to be lived.

The adventure begins in sophisticated Santiago, Chile’s capital, with a private tour of the city’s must-see sights and a tour of the fascinating Museo Chileno de Arte Precolombino, followed by a lively night out on the town. Later, sample some of the region’s most beloved Rieslings, Sauvignon Blancs, and Syrahs courtesy of a private wine tasting at the charming Casa Marin winery.

More wine awaits across the border in Mendoza. From a boutique hotel, Argentina’s beloved wine region comes to life through an intimate private tour of Bodega Catena Zapata, Ruca Malen, and Achaval Ferrer – a trio of esteemed local wineries each famed for their unique terroir and world-class wares.

Later, surrender to the sensual indulgences of Argentina’s sultry capital, Buenos Aires. First, step out and explore South America’s most European city on exclusive tours of the trendy San Telmo and La Boca neighbourhoods, then get an up-close look at BA’s golden age on a tour of the elegant architecture and stately mansions of the Belle Époque era. Later, take in a sizzling tango performance over dinner at the acclaimed Rojo Tango theatre before moving on to an unforgettable encounter with nature at Iguazú Falls on the Brazilian border.

Final stop: incomparable Rio de Janeiro. South America’s most vibrant city comes alive at night, as you’ll discover on a private twilight encounter at the Rio Scenarium, a dazzling extravaganza of music, dance, and art. Later, spend a day getting to know the city’s natural side on a private tour of Sugarloaf Mountain and Barra de Guaratiba, one of Rio’s best (and best-kept-secret) beaches.

Tailored Travels & Tours creates private trips from the world’s finest ingredients. Tailor-made with care by your personal Destination Expert, your personalized trip is always a one-of-a-kind experience made just for you. Expert local guidance and 24/7 service come standard.

Scale up Sugarloaf Mountain by cable car for an exceptional view of the city, and venture to the top of Corcovado, where the iconic Christ the Redeemer statue peers out across the city below. You'll then make your way to Iguazu Falls, the thunderous waterfall spanning the border of Brazil and Argentina, that's larger in scale than Niagara Falls. The final leg of your travels will bring you to Buzios, for a more relaxing pace, where you'll be able to spend some time at leisure on its beautiful sandy beaches. Private transfers, guides, and a curated collection of luxury accommodations will have you well cared for during your time in beautiful Brazil.

Note: A valid passport is required for all American or Canadians citizens, including children, intending to visit Brazil. It is recommended that your passport be valid for at least six months beyond the date of your expected departure from the country. There have been cases where citizens were refused entry for not having the six-month validity. In addition, all Americans & Canadians are required to have a valid Brazilian Visa prior to their arrival in Brazil, and the visa must be used within 90 days of issuance. Otherwise, they will be refused entry into the country. For other nationalities, it is the traveller's responsibility to check with the Embassy of the Federative Republic of Brazil and its consulates for up-to-date information.

The Coolest Places to Travel in 2018

Do you know where you're traveling in 2018?

From the best luxury or budget destinations, to the most overdeveloped or underdeveloped places, Forbes recently named the 15 coolest places to travel next year by questioning experts at high-end travel companies—people the publication described as “super-agents.”

Based on their opinions, here are some of the places worth traveling to in 2018.

Cambodia

Already famous for being the home of Angkor Wat, super-agents say 2018 will be the year Cambodia makes its big splash on the world scene.

John Spence, US president of Scott Dunn, told Forbes that an array of new luxury hotel openings in the country will allow travelers to visit lesser known parts of Cambodia.

Bolivia

"A country on the verge" is how Bolivia is being described by experts. The destination has long been known for dramatic, otherworldly scenery, according to Indagare founder Melissa Biggs Bradley. More recently, the country’s cultural capital, La Paz, is increasingly becoming a foodie hotspot.

There’s also a variety of new luxury hotels opening.

Southern Tanzania

There are many parts of Tanzania that remain under the radar and underexplored. Ruaha National Park is one such example. It is the country’s biggest yet least visited national park. It is also now home to Asilia’s Jabali Ridge, a place that Dunn described as the ultimate in luxury lodges.

Another compelling game reserve to make note of in the country is Selous, in southern Tanzania. Home to Africa’s largest population of wild dogs, there’s a tented camp in the heart of the reserve called Roho Ya Selous, where visitors can participate in walking and boating safaris.

Chad

GeoEx will lead its first tour to Chad in 2018— a A country that Forbes described as largely devoid of tourism. The central African nation is home to Zakouma National Park, an 1,860-square mile expanse of the world’s most diverse grassland ecosystems and a massive rehabilitated herd of elephants.

“We are one of the few tour operators that have been awarded private, weeklong trips in the park,” GeoEx safari expert Starla Estrada told Forbes.

Faroe Islands

An archipelago that is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, the Faroe Islands operate as an autonomous country. That includes having a culture, language and currency of its own. The 18 islands—located between the Norwegian Fjords, Scottish Highlands and Iceland—are home to about 50,000 people. The stunning landscape also features mountains, cliffs, waterfalls and grass-roofed homes.

Last but not least:
Northern Brazil

New direct flights from São Paulo to Jericoacoara are opening up this hard-to-reach part of the county. Previously accessible only with 4×4s, motorbikes and dune buggies, Jericoacoara is a tiny fishing village on the northern coast, which until 20 years ago had no road network or electricity and money hardly ever changed hands. The best hotel is the Chili Beach, a laid-back boutique resort situated on the edge of the village. “It’s cool, quirky and boasting brilliant yet discreet service,” says Scott Dunn’s Spence. Also, beginning in January, Americans will be able to apply for electronic visas online.

8 THINGS TO EAT IN BOLIVIA
The South American country has far more than quinoa

Conjure up images of Bolivia, and perhaps what first comes to mind are rink-like salt flats that mirror the sky, grinning alpacas, and majestic Andean peaks. Once you jet-set to this nation in the middle of South America, though, the local cuisine is sure to make an impression as well — and, while it's well known for its quinoa, Bolivian cuisine is much more than that. As those with the travel bug know, globetrotting works best on a full stomach. When visiting Bolivia, these are the mains and snacks that visitors will be drooling over.

1. Llama tartar: Stopping in La Paz? Tourists looking for a spot to dine out in the highest capital city on Earth shouldn’t sleep on Gustu. The restaurant, which serves Bolivian fare with a modern twist, has a stack of glowing reviews. Those who are new to the flavours of the country can get a chance to try some of the most mouth-watering menu options during their stay — crudo de llama being one such example. If you’re new to eating llama, you might as well sample it from the best chefs in town.

2. Salteñas: Many of Bolivia’s South American neighbours serve up the empanada, but here, salteñas are the savoury pastry of choice. (Some will say this is the must-try snack of this Andean nation.) These spicy baked pockets are filled with different kinds of meat and vegetables, and, given their ubiquity, they’re likely to fuel your visit.

3. Charque: In the country that boasts the largest salt flats in the world, visitors will also find lots and lots of salted meat. Charque is Bolivia’s answer to beef jerky. Often made with llama meat, this snack — which is also sometimes made using beef — is prepared by salting flank cuts and then allowing them to dry.

4. Anticuchos: This is a great late-night snack for those travellers who aren’t squeamish at the idea of eating cow hearts. (Travel is about being adventurous, right?) Made popular by the country’s Peruvian neighbours, anticuchos should be easy to spot at street vendors for an on-the-go snack on a skewer between activities. In most cases, your skewer will be topped with a potato — after all, these root vegetables do grow aplenty in this region — or a hunk of bread.

5. Chicharrón: Who doesn’t like fried pork belly? While many cultures around the world have their own take on this favourite, Latin America arguably does it the best. Travel buds who have spent the day working up an appetite can satisfy cravings with this crispy, crackly pork. Pair it with a beer and squeeze a bit of lime juice, and your night is complete.

6. Achachairú: Load up on this fruit during your visit, because this is a flavour of Bolivia that most guests will miss upon returning home. To eat it, crack the hard orange exterior and scoop out the white, pulpy flesh inside. Equal parts sweet and tangy, an achachairú will make your taste buds dance.

7. Del Mani: After a busy morning of sightseeing, this popular lunch menu item is not to be overlooked. Who doesn’t love a good soup? This one is peanut-flavoured and thick, and will quiet the grumbling stomachs of travellers who have worked up an appetite while hiking, trekking, or simply sightseeing.

8. Singani: While a packed day on vacation might typically end with a beer, switch things up while exploring Bolivia and pour a sample of singani, the country’s national spirit. It’s unique in the sense that it’s made from grapes found only in a specific part of the Andes, and distilled at altitude — a great way to toast to new friends and amazing experiences abroad.
Bolivia's attractions far exceed the famous salt flats.

When you pull into the Pacific coast town of Tofino, you leave behind the Canada you thought you knew.

I was still two hours from my destination when I spotted the first sign, handpainted on the side of the highway: surf shop. The words seemed jarring and out of place. They were words I’d seen in Australia, in Barbados, in California and Hawaii. But as I drove the winding two-lane road through old-growth forest, late afternoon sun filtering gamely down through the cover of giant firs and spruce trees, I tried to remember if I’d ever seen a surf shop, or anyone surfing for that matter, in Canada before. Despite its three ocean coastlines—Atlantic, Pacific, and a long, jigsaw-puzzle stretch of mainland and island shoreline in the Arctic Ocean—there are very few places in my home country where you’ll see the words surf and shop together.

Eighty miles later along the Trans-Canada Highway, I had passed through the wild, mountainous interior of Vancouver Island, and the road made one last climb before dropping steeply down to the Pacific coast, where the signs started popping up again. SURF SHOP. SURF LESSONS. SURFBOARD RENTALS. I drove through a gauntlet of surf-themed businesses and into the heart of a small town just after sunset, the darkness thickened by the fog off the water. I had arrived in Tofino.

I had never been to the west coast of Vancouver Island before. I grew up thousands of miles away, in Ontario, the wellspring of so many Canadian stereotypes. I raked crackling red maple leaves into giant piles in the fall and shoveled heaping drifts of snow in the winter. I lived in Ottawa, the nation’s capital, on the border with Quebec, and took French immersion classes from age five on. We played hockey in gym class, in the school yard, and on frozen outdoor rinks, and my classmates cheered for the rival Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs in a roughly even split. Every spring, we visited the cabane à sucre on a school field trip and learned all over again about tapping maple trees for their thin, sweet sap, then boiling it down into syrup. We dipped lollipops of hot maple taffy into fresh snow and then licked the cold snowflakes off as they melted.

Then, five years ago, I moved to the Yukon, where I now live what may be an even more stereotypical Canadian life. I socialize with dog mushers and gold miners, live a day’s drive from the Arctic Circle, and watch the northern lights spread across the sky at -40°F. I have a $600 parka, a freezer full of moose meat, and a car that I plug in at night to keep the engine from freezing solid. My experiences left me with a set of firm assumptions about what Canadian-ness looks like—about what life in Canada really is.

It was not this. On every street in Tofino’s compact downtown, aging hippie vans and a motley collection of trucks and SUVs—Delicas and Westfalias, Subarus and Jeeps and old Toyotas—were parked with surfboards strapped on top, their bumpers plastered with stickers: SAVE COX BAY and I’D RATHER BE SURFING. The town’s bike racks were built in the shape of curling waves, and wave patterns were painted into the white lines of the crosswalk on the main drag. Even the pharmacy had a stack of boogie boards sitting out front and wet suits on clothes hangers swaying in the wind.

Inside Panama's Secret Surfer Paradise

A five-hour drive south of Panama City’s high-rise condominiums and glitzy casinos is the Azuero Peninsula—a surfer’s paradise that the rest of the world is just now catching onto.

For years, Panama's Azuero Peninsula was known mostly for its seco, a sugarcane-based spirit mixed with coconut milk, and its polleras, traditional hand-embroidered dresses worn at beauty pageants and festivals. Now, seemingly overnight, the peninsula is Panama’s hip place to be. In the area around the once-quiet cowboy town of Pedasí, about 200 miles from the capital on the southeastern coast of Azuero, waves of young Panamanians and expats are opening upscale surf resorts and farm-to-table restaurants at a dizzying pace.

The most interesting development centers around Playa Venao, a horseshoe-shaped bay fringed with jungle, about 16 miles southwest of Pedasí. Resorts such as El Sitio and Playa Venao Hotel Resort offer whale-watching and fishing trips to clients who sometimes fly in on helicopters, while no-frills surf hostels like Selina and Eco Venao serve the basic needs of hard-core surfers. Bolstered by one of Panama’s most consistent, year-round breaks, Playa Venao is also home to Surf Dojo, a surf school where world-renowned surfers such as Magnum Martinez run camps.

On the west end of Playa Venao, Guatemalan chef Andrés Morataya opened the restaurant Panga in mid-2016, sourcing sustainable spider crabs from a local diver and oysters from a farm on nearby Isla Cañas. Morataya brines his chickens in ocean water, forages for wild berries, and experiments with food waste such as fish fins, which he smokes over nance wood, fries, then serves in a soy-vinegar sauce.

Along a jungle-shrouded road just off the beach, visitors can get their caffeine fix at the tiny Playa Venao Café and Roastery, which roasts beans from the highlands of Panama’s Boquete region. Chill on the patio with a cup of pour-over.

If isolation is the endgame, there is the 11-cabana Sansara Surf & Yoga Resort in Cambutal, a village 32 miles west of Playa Venao. Daily yoga and meditation sessions take place in a thatched-roof rancho facing the Pacific. For beach outings, the staff will fill your cooler with fish tacos or Thai-style Buddha bowls. Surfboards are available for rent, bicycles are complimentary, and secluded, empty beaches await.

Take Your African Safari to New Heights in Tanzania

With a continent as big and diverse as Africa, the potentials for memory-making experiences are infinite. Deciding what you want to see during your African safari adventure can be overwhelming. From the dry Sahara in the North to the vineyards along the southern coast, the opportunities for extraordinary vacations are nearly limitless. For a vacation packed with once-in-a-lifetime experiences, discover the best that Tanzania has to offer. Searching for the Big 5 on game drives through Ngorongoro Crater. Follow thousands of wildebeests on their journey across the Serengeti. Take in the breathtaking views from the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro (and then brag to all your friends that you summitted Mount Kilimanjaro).

Here’s an informative list of must-see experiences to check out while on safari in Tanzania.

Kilimanjaro (Photo #1)

Visitors of Tanzania will doubtlessly see the world in a different light after reaching the summit of Africa’s highest mountain. To hike these scenic slopes is no small feat, but don’t let the fact that Kilimanjaro is the world’s tallest free-standing mountain frighten you. Despite the intimidating size of the mountain, climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is a challenge anyone who is of average fitness could overcome. Reaching the top of this landmark is truly something any traveler could be proud of accomplishing. Plus, you get the added bonus of bragging rights for life.

Ngorongoro Conservation Area (Photo #2)

In juxtaposition to Kilimanjaro’s towering heights, Ngorongoro is home to two of Tanzania’s lowest points – Olduvai Gorge and the Ngorongoro Crater. The latter of which formed when a massive ancient volcano imploded in on itself. As unbelievable as the Ngorongoro Crater is from above, a trip to its bottom is sure to impress even the most stoic of travelers. Inside the crater (the world’s largest crater, we might add), you can find the highest concentration of lions in all of Africa.

Olduvai Gorge is another breathtaking site in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area. The gorge is an impressive 295 feet deep and over 30 miles long. However, if its size doesn’t astound you, its anthropological importance will. The Olduvai Gorge provides “the most continuous known record of human evolution during the past 2 million years.” Visitors to this prehistoric site get a rare glimpse into the evolution of mankind and its development of tools. Olduvai Gorge and Ngorongoro Crater are definitely a part of Tanzania you don’t want to miss.

The Serengeti (Photo #3)

Around 14% of Tanzania is made up of protected wildlife and nature reserves, but the bellwether of these is the Serengeti. Widely recognized as the oldest national park in Tanzania, this region is far from lacking in attractions. Perhaps the most popular of these is the annual migration. Every few months, the park’s 6 million wildebeest and thousands of zebras and gazelle move with the shifting rains. It is an incredible sight to behold as millions of hooves shake the earth and produce sounds like thunder.

The sprawling grasslands and hills of the Serengeti are also among the best places to see The Big Five of African safaris. Historically the most sought-after animals during big game hunts, lions, leopards, rhinos, Cape buffalo, and elephants roam the park in abundance. However, the only hunting that is done on the lands today is done by the animals.

Tanzania offers so many once-in-a-lifetime experiences that it’s easy to see why it is one of Africa’s most visited destinations. From towering mountaintops to lush valleys chock full of exotic wildlife, this country is sure to become one of your most memorable vacations.
