Casas Brancas Boutique Hotel & Spa, Brazil
Why Central and South America Are on Our Radar
When you want to experience something completely different, but, well, if you’re honest, you don’t want to go too far away technically – then book Central or South America.
Left & Bottom Right: Turtle Inn, Belize | Top Right: Keel-Billed Toucan
The biodiversity of Central America is surprising. Much of Belize, for example, is still undeveloped rainforest. With such extensive habitat, the wildlife is spectacular – keep the jaguars and crocodiles at a distance, but expect to be amazed by the tapirs, howler monkeys, armadillos, toucans, parrots, and coatis too.

Bottom Right: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Brazil is full of surprises, from the Amazon to iconic cities and peaceful beach towns. Beyond Rio’s famous views, you can explore the charm of Paraty, unwind in Trancoso, or spot jaguars in the Pantanal. Luxury lodges and stylish beach resorts make it easy to travel in comfort while soaking up Brazil’s rich culture and incredible biodiversity.

Bottom Right: Machu Picchu, Peru
In South America, the dramatic mountains and glacial lakes of Patagonia (crossing into Chile and Argentina) take your breath away, and if Ecuador and the Galapagos islands are still on your bucket list or if Peru’s Machu Picchu is still a must-see – book those now.
Estancia Los Potreros, Argentina
And there’s no need to rough it in the jungle or expect anything less than top-notch luxury. This is your chance to experience the laid-back joys of an estancia – consider it South America’s take on the guest ranch. Except that here you’re going to meet gauchos, the South American cowboy, drink mate and enjoy asado – the traditional open pit barbecue that’s not just a meal but a social event.
Left: Islas Secas Private Island Resort | Top Right: Panama City, Panama
Bottom Right: Kaandela Restaurant, Panama
If you’re looking for an urban and island getaway – may we suggest Panama? Panama City is a mid-haul flight from much of the U.S. Spend a few days exploring the 16th and 17th-century architecture of the Casco Viejo neighborhood, watch the ships pass by in the Panama Canal and book a table at one of the city’s Michelin-starred restaurants.
Then, escape to Isla Secas, a private luxury resort spread out over 14 gorgeous islands. Come during humpback whale migration; it’s a spectacular spot to watch from.
Your dollar goes farther in South and Central America.
