Brazil is home to two of the best areas for wildlife; the Pantanal and the Amazon. The Pantanal is best described as a small window of Africa in the heart of South America and although it does not have the ‘big five’ it does have its own unique fauna. The Amazon is an atmospheric place where you will always hear more than you see due to the density of the foliage but where the small things take priority.
Belize now has more national parks than Costa Rica and in their push for a protected country they have managed to save some of the most endangered areas of forest in Central America. This has led to an increase in numbers of both jaguar and Pumas as well as some of the smaller cats making this a wildlife destination like no other.
A Galapagos holiday is a holiday like no other. No-where else in the world would your guide say to you prior to departure, ‘you may not touch the wildlife, but the wildlife can touch you’. It is a magical experience, a place where you can be nose to nose with a seal pup on the beach or swim with seals in the water as they do summersaults around you. The wildlife is as diverse as the islands themselves and it is a destination that must be on everyone’s wish list.
When staying in any wildlife lodge all activities are included, unless specified otherwise. At each place you can decide what excursions you would like to do with your guide on any given day, giving you the freedom to do what you like best.

We had a wonderful three weeks on a tailor made itinerary for just two of us. The organisation by Latin Odyssey was faultless and we have no hesitation in recommending them
