🗾 Whatever you want from your holiday, you can probably find it in Japan. Our holidays strike a perfect balance, encompassing neon-lit metropolis, vast mountainous countryside, thriving arts & culture and iconic national gastronomy.

🗼Modern cities: Tokyo and Osaka come alive at night, with neon lights and billboards creating a retro-futuristic atmosphere. Visit multi-storey gaming arcades or chic modern-art museums for a taste of futuristic city life.

🗻 Gorgeous countryside: Japan's mountainous countryside stands in stark contrast to its bustling cities. Relax on Lake Ashi with views of Mount Fuji or stroll around the traditional mountain village of Shirakawa-go to unwind.

👹Thriving arts: walking through the streets of Japan, you will likely see traditional, ornate calligraphy and colourful pop art side-by-side in art galleries and souvenir shops, perfectly representing Japan's unique blend of ancient and modern.

🍱 Iconic cuisine: Japanese restaurants can be found around the world, but few match the experience of fresh sushi at a sushi-ya counter, a late-night bowl of ramen in a ramen-ya, or sampling a variety of street food stalls.

💸 Save up to £300 per person on 2026 & 2027 departures: departures until November 2027 are on sale now, so you can confirm your spot on our small-group departures for peace of mind, while saving up to £300 with our earlybird offer.

⚽🏆 To mark tonight's World Cup Final, we are looking at the Llama Travel destinations behind the teams.

⛩️ The underwhelming feeling left by Japan's round of 32 exit is far from the wonder of visiting its modern cities, getting a taste for its world-class cuisine, and losing yourself in its gorgeous scenery and well-preserved ancient history.

💚💛 Brazil didn't quite manage to translate its signature flair to the pitch this tournament, but visiting Rio de Janeiro and Iguazu Falls on a Llama Travel holiday guarantees an uncompromised sense of the nation's cultural vibrancy and natural wonder.

🕌 Uzbekistan is much grander than its national team's performances suggest. Our holidays explore this Central Asian gem's rich history, intricate architecture, and old-world charm, offering a fascinating glimpse into life on the ancient Silk Road.

🐘 Despite bowing out in the round of 32, it's hard to imagine South Africa's players were disappointed by their early return to the land of the gorgeous Cape Winelands, wildlife-rich Kruger National Park, and lush Garden Route.

🏛 Jordan's ancient history far exceeds its footballing heritage. 4th-century Petra stands as an architectural masterclass, and Jerash's Roman ruins are wonderfully preserved. Those are well-balanced with time in the Wadi Rum desert and Dead Sea.

𝟙𝟘 While this World Cup marked the swan song of one of Argentina's national icons, the dramatic landscapes of Patagonia and lively cultural heritage of Buenos Aires retain their place in the starting lineup of our holidays.

☁️ Ecuador: The variety in Ecuador's World Cup performances is matched only by its variety as a destination. One holiday can encompass the mountainous capital, Quito, the misty Cloud Forest, the biodiverse Galapagos Islands, and so much more.

🎊 Mexico: Much was made of Mexico City's altitude before Mexico's clash with England. Three nights there at the start of a holiday allows you to acclimatise before visiting some of Mexico's most colourful streets, lush beaches, and historic Maya ruins.

✍🏽 "It's safe to say Panama City and the Panama Canal completely exceeded my expectations. More than anywhere else I visited in Central America, Panama felt like a fascinating mix of old and new, where modern skyscrapers sit alongside colonial streets, and Latin American culture blends with North American influence."

🚢 While most famous for its Canal, Panama City has so much more to offer, as our marketing manager Nathalia found out her first visit recently.

At the meeting of two continents and two oceans, Panama is a small country full of history, wildlife and culture. Earlier this year, I visited Panama City as an extension to my FAM trip to Costa Rica, which you can read about here. I travelled on Llama Travel’s Best of Costa Rica + Panama City 14-...
