A Vacationer’s Summer Paradise in Latin America

As summer travel planning heats up, now is the ideal time for travel agents to refresh their knowledge of all the amazing travel opportunities available for the prime vacation season across Latin America.

You may have heard that the summer months are actually “winter” in many of these countries, but that perception is a bit skewed. These months present wonderful opportunities for multi-generational cultural opportunities, active outdoor adventuring and romantic escapes for couples.

A few things that await in Latin America for travelers are coastal splendors, mountain views, rainforest wonders, lively cities, charming villages, seaside towns, flavorful food, delectable wines and cocktail concoctions and fiery rhythms that are sure to beckon the dancer in you.

The destination specialists at Central Holidays are on hand as an extension of a travel agent’s team to help plan and deliver the ultimate experiences for their clients.

Led by Arthur Berman, Central Holidays’ Vice President, Cuba & Latin America, the company’s regionally focused division continues to grow from their headquarters in New Jersey to Central Holidays’ Latin America office in San Jose, Costa Rica headed by Ray Reynolds, who boasts a 10-plus year career in tourism throughout the region.

"We work closely with agents and suppliers to provide each agent and their clients with the personal touch to ensure we deliver their ultimate trip each and every time," said Reynolds.

“As you embark on summer vacation planning with your clients consider asking them, ‘What’s on your list of travel experiences to enjoy?’ How about delving into Peru’s old-world capital, Lima, brimming with pre-Spanish treasures, or maybe you prefer discovering the Spanish colonial architecture and bustling plazas of Costa Rica’s lively capital, San Jose? Maybe you would prefer savoring flavorful dishes in Argentina, known the world over for its high-quality wines and beef, the centerpiece of one of the country’s best-known culinary traditions called the “asado?”

“Have you ever dreamt of having an adventure in Brazil where you can linger along to the passionate sounds of Bossa Nova music as you sip on a caipirinha, Brazil’s national cocktail, or heat up your romance along the country’s sizzling beaches? Perhaps exploring Chile is on your mind where you can sip on a pisco sour in trendy Santiago de Chile or enjoy the blissful background of the majestic Andes from one of the city's rooftop bars. The opportunities for summer travel in Latin America are virtually endless,” said Reynolds.
