Journey Latin America's fourteen Travel Consultants are not just capable, outgoing and articulate salespeople. Each one of them can dip into a vast reservoir of travel experience and has an enthusiasm for the continent which will bring it alive for you. Many have academic qualifications relating to the region's history, geography and languages, and all have travelled or worked in Latin America before they joined us. We keep them them up to date with the rapid progress and changes on the continent with frequent trips not only to our favourite places but also recently revealed highlights, hidden unspoilt corners, new hotels, lodges and cruise vessels. They'll climb mountains, camp on windy plains, sail through distant waters, trek on foot and horse, browse local markets and explore ruined cities to bring you the most up to date information with a personal touch. Your consultant will probably have been to the places you want to visit on your holiday, and can suggest others to match your interests. Take advantage of their knowledge and advice to create your perfect trip.Gemma AndersonTravel Consultant Gemma combines her affection for Latin America with her love of sports and the outdoor life.
