Why visit Latin America?
It is beautiful: Latin America offers many destinations with innumerable choices from skiing in Chile or Argentina in August to paradise-like beaches year around in other parts. Wine tasting in Chile to coffee plantations in Central America; archeological marvels in Peru, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and many others to modern marvels, such as the Panama Canal, the most pristine rain forests in Brazil or Costa Rica and the most wonderful hospitality and world class resorts of Mexico. It is next door: A flight to Mexico or Central America is as long as a flight inside the continental USA. Many of us do not realize that Latin America is really that close by. It is inexpensive: Latin America offers great vacations at a fraction of the cost in the USA. The most popular destinations, of course, usually offer the best value. That is the result of stiff competition, but you will also get good value even if you decide to be slightly adventurous and explore some of the less popular destinations.
