This week our Kirsty attended the LATA Expo at the Cotswolds Water Park. It’s an annual gathering of all things Latin American in the heart of the UK bringing together lots of our favourite suppliers from our favourite continent.

Kirsty was recently voted in as vice-chair of LATA (the Latin American Travel Association) and is well known for her hard work, conscientiousness and diligence.

It was unfortunate therefore that while she was on stage presenting awards, a photo of her mysteriously appeared which seems to show her having a nap in the office during a LATA committee meeting.

She alleges that she was simply ‘resting her eyes’ but we’re not so sure and we suspect she was dreaming of Trancoso.

If you want to talk about Latin America, give us a call and ask for Kirsty, assuming she’s awake.

Let's go! Exciting news, the FCDO has lifted their advisory against all but essential travel to Jordan. We have been seeing signs for a while as tourists gradually return and flight routes are reinstated. We are delighted to be able to offer trips to this beautiful country once again. From Petra, one of the most exceptional archaeological sights in the world, to the desert landscapes of Wadi Rum, the Dead Sea and so much more, Jordan is an amazing destination. As you cam see, it makes a particularly great choice for a family holiday and nowhere will you and your kids get a warmer welcome.

Get in touch with the team to talk about a trip to Jordan.

The Cruce Andino is a scenic journey across the Andes linking Puerto Varas in Chile and San Carlos de Bariloche in Argentina. It combines boat rides across lakes with short bus trips, turning the border crossing into a full-day experience through Patagonia’s mountains and rainforests. 🛥️

We always love hearing from our clients.

Lisa and Randall travelled with us to Ecuador last month and had some kind words to say. 🥰

"Exceptional! Simon Williams, owner of Humboldt Travel, crafted the most wonderful trip through Quito to the Galapagos for me with my adult son. March was a perfect time to go. It was the adventure of a lifetime! We stayed in Quito, on a catamaran, and on Santa Cruz. The best part was our time on the Expedition catamaran run by Golden Galapagos. We did a 3 night/4 day cruise. Honestly, wish we had booked a longer cruise. The staff and naturalist were exceptional Every need and want was anticipated and exceeded! Simon was wonderful, having so much patience, throughout the planning process. His recommendations were all on point. If you’re considering a trip to The Galapagos—go while the going is good! Don’t hesitate to use Humboldt Travel.. Only one of our 5 guides were ordinary—all others were extraordinary!"
