NEWS & DEALS!
As a specialist tour company in South America, we are often sent exclusive details from the leading hotel and excursion operators that offer fabulous experiences in our many destinations. Some offer "early bird" or "last minute" booking opportunities that can save up to 25% or more! Latest offers (Nov 2018) include:
- "Last Minute Deals" on cruises around the Galapagos from Oct - Dec 2018, from as little as US$ 2,150/person all-inclusive (sharing), with flights to the islands from mainland Ecuador (up to 20% discounts)!
- An 8 day Christmas diving experience in the Galapagos on board a luxury yacht, from US$ 3,591/person (sharing) (over 10% discount!).
- Last Minute Cancellations on Antarctica 21 "Classic Antarctica Air Cruises" in December 2018 and February 2019 now offer a rare opportunity for guests to purchase one of the few remaining berths* for a visit to the Great White Continent in the 2018/19 season! (* Owners' & Penthouse suites from US$20,995/pers on the 8 Day/7 Night Antarctica cruise aboard M/V Hebridean Sky).
DESTINATION OF THE MONTH - PENGUINS IN PATAGONIA!
Tierra Del Fuego
- "Land of Fire"

Each month, we focus on a specific destination, either because it is a new site or we have just revisited it ourselves to update the detail, or because NOW would be an especially good time to book your holiday there BEFORE the best hotels are taken or the flight prices have rocketed. This is typically done 6 months before a suggested "window" for a visit, or because of a limited "season" in which to experience the best delights in that area (eg. when whales start migrating or when "rains" are at a minimum)!
As we now enter the Austral Summer (Nov - Mar) many clients seize this opportunity to visit Chile's outstanding National Park in Southern Patagonia, Torres del Paine! HOWEVER, when passing through the air hub of PUNTA ARENAS discerning visitors also grab the chance to see penguins up close - some 80,000 nesting pairs of Magellanic penguins on Isla Magdalena approximately 30kms NE of Punta Arenas; or the rare King penguins that can be found in a small colony on Tierra del Fuego, a mere two-hour ferry ride from Punta Arenas. At almost one metre in height, they are only a few centimetres shorter than their rarer cousins, the Emperor penguin, in far-off Antarctica! And whilst Macaroni and Southern Rockhopper penguins can also be encountered on the many little islands that skirt these southern waters, the Magellanic and King penguin experiences are the tours most often sought!
