EL DORADO LIVES!

Adventure Associates launches it's new travel guide to Latin America - one of the world's most fascinating regions...

Just like the mythical Gilded Man, Latin America is at once an ancient land of mystery and intrigue and a continent of thriving contemporary culture. From the empty stone corridors of the vast ghost cities of Tiahuanaco, Teotihuacan and Machu Picchu, to the modern, pulsating metropolises of Rio de Janeiro, Buenos Aires and Santiago, Latin America has captivated and seduced both visitors and invaders alike.

Adventure Associates is delighted to announce the release of the all-new 'Latin America', a comprehensive guide to travel and adventure opportunities throughout Mexico, Central and South America.

"As Australia' first and longest established tour and travel operator to South America, we've distilled over thirty years experience into our latest publication," says Stewart Campbell, CEO of Adventure Associates.

The new brochure contains Adventure Associates' evergreen Rhumba', and 'Inca Mysteries' as well as the ecologically-focused "Galapagos and Amazon Adventure".

These core itineraries can be enhanced with tours to virtually any region between Mexico and Tierra del Fuego and to outlying destinations such as the Galapagos, Easter Island and the Falklands.

Latin America and the Caribbean are currently enjoying a healthy resurgence as adventure hungry travellers seek new, exciting destinations to satisfy their cravings. For example, LAN (formerly LanChile) are reporting increases up to 26% in Australians travelling to South America*.
