Latin America

Latin America is a prime region for expedition and adventure cruises, offering a rich tapestry of landscapes from the lush Amazon rainforest to the dramatic fjords of Patagonia, the “Rich Coast” of Costa Rica to the pristine waters of the Galápagos Islands. These destinations provide unparalleled opportunities for wildlife observation, including exotic birds, marine life, and unique species like the Galápagos tortoises. Adventure cruises in Latin America often include kayaking, snorkelling, and guided hikes, allowing travellers to immerse themselves in these vibrant ecosystems and bio-diverse destinations.

Latin America is a region in the Americas where Romance languages, primarily Spanish and Portuguese, are spoken. Costa Rica is a Spanish-speaking country in Central America, bordered by Nicaragua to the north, Panama to the southeast, the Pacific Ocean to the west, and the Caribbean Sea to the east. It is considered part of Latin America both geographically and culturally. In the Amazon region, various indigenous languages are spoken, reflecting the cultural diversity of the indigenous peoples who inhabit the rainforest. These languages belong to numerous families, including Tupian, Tucanoan, Arawakan, and Jivaroan.
