Pair top sights and authentic experiences with a guided tour to some of the world’s most sought-after destinations, like Costa Rica and the USA.

Just one photo can bring memories of your holiday flooding back. A spectacular photo can capture the mood of a whole destination. If you love photography, here are our favourite destinations in the world for keeping your lens busy, from mighty sand dunes and stunning landscapes to quirky wildlife.

Head off the beaten track to spots like Costa Rica and Sri Lanka, or check out cities and sights in Canada and the USA.

Peru

As you stand in the clouds above Machu Picchu, take in the detail and texture below, the dramatic mountains and the changing light. Our tip is to go in low season and enter the citadel at the end of the day as it empties to get the best pictures, minus the crowds.

The Galapagos Islands

No place in the world is better for taking pictures of wildlife. The islands are home to hordes of endemic species, such as the sun-basking marine iguana. We highly recommend taking a GoPro to capture underwater footage – the sealions can be very playful!

Saint Lucia

One of Saint Lucia's most iconic sights, the emerald-coloured Twin Pitons are volcanic plugs rising from the coast, creating a dramatic backdrop to the town of Soufriere. Stay at Jade Mountain and your open-air suite will have the perfect view of the Pitons from your private pool.

Namibia

Epic dunes; cheetahs roaming through national parks; and decaying shipwrecks buried in the sand on the Skeleton Coast – Namibia is full of camera-worthy opportunities. One of our favourites is the eerie petrified forest, where scorched trees contrast against orange sand and blue skies.

Vietnam

The energy and relentless pace of Hanoi is intoxicating. One of the best spots to capture snaps of the traffic is from the City View Café, which overlooks one of the busiest intersections on the edge of the Old Quarter. It's chaotic - but brilliant - especially at night.

India

Rajasthan is a photographer's dream, home to the famous pink city of Jaipur, the stunning Thar Desert and the majestic Bengal Tigers of Ranthambore National Park. Holi, the 'festival of colour' is spectacular to photograph – but beware of flying coloured powder and your camera!

Botswana, Africa
With its incomparable wildlife and unique wild places, Botswana continues to lure visitors. The Okavango Delta is like no other, a pristine wetland paradise while the Chobe River region is famed for its dense concentration of breathtaking wildlife and safari adventures. And, as it's set to be a big year for Prince Harry, Botswana will be the hot topic of many conversations as this was where he camped out under the stars with Meghan Markle and a country that has been close to his heart since he visited at the age of 13.

Nashville, Tennessee, USA
A lucrative part of the America's musical playground, Nashville is the Country Music Capital of the World. Home to the Country Music Hall of Fame, it’s also renowned for the Grand Ole Opry, America's longest-running scheduled show (it’s never missed a Saturday performance since it was first broadcast on radio in 1925!). And for those looking to delve deeper into the Southern music scene, Nashville can be the perfect start point for a classic road trip to Elvis Presley’s Memphis and ‘The Big Easy’, New Orleans.

Galapagos, Ecuador
Located off Ecuador’s coast, the Galapagos Islands are an archipelago home to colourful crabs, swimming lizards, penguins, blue-footed boobies, and the famed giant tortoises. These are the islands visited by the young Charles Darwin in 1835, and inspired him to write and publish his 'On the Origin of Species' theory of evolution. 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of Galapagos being managed as a national park and 40 years since it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Turkey’s Mediterranean Coast
Tourism is on the up again with more visitors flocking to the turquoise coasts, ancient cities and picture-perfect fishing villages. There is no better time or place to discover the exotic blend of eastern and western cultures.

5 reasons to love South America

From tropical rainforest and mighty mountains to ancient archaeology, natural wonders and wildlife, there are plenty of reasons to love South America - here's why we love it!

1. WONDROUS WILDLIFE
If wildlife-watching is your thing, you’ll be spoilt for choice in South America – it’s said to be home to more species of plants and animals than anywhere else on earth. From the Amazon Rainforest in the north to the plains of Patagonia in the south and for the ultimate wildlife adventure, you’ll want to make a beeline for the Galapagos Islands. Here an impressive array of birds, colourful marine life and of course, the giant tortoise all vie for your undivided attention.

2. MIGHTY MOUNTAINS
Cross the majestic Andes on a trip to Chile, Argentina & Brazil to witness some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in the world. You’ll also get fabulous views of their snow-covered peaks from Chile’s capital city Santiago. Why not head to Peru and visit Lake Titicaca? This iconic Lake sits high in the Andes - a mere 3,800 metres above sea level.

3. DELICIOUS FOOD & WINE
Sampling the local food and drink is one of the most exciting things to do on holiday, and in South America your taste buds are in for a treat. Argentina is renowned for its high-quality beef, so meat-lovers will want to head to the nearest parrilla, to feast on a tender juicy steak. Empanadas are another Argentine favourite. These samosa-like savoury pastries are filled with a variety of flavours and ingredients including beef, chicken, ham and vegetables, and are then baked or fried before serving. In Peru don’t forget to order a Pisco sour, this famous cocktail is made with the brandy-like Pisco, egg white, lime juice and bitters.

4. FASCINATING HISTORY
From the poignant Wall of Tears in the Galapagos Islands to fine colonial architecture and ancient Inca ruins in Peru, South America is awash with fascinating historical sites. A must-see is of course, Peru’s incredible ‘lost city’ of Machu Picchu. Perched high on a mountain top, surrounded by jungle, this remarkable complex of Inca ruins lay hidden from the world for centuries until it was rediscovered in 1911.

5. BEAUTIFUL BEACHES
After all that exploring, you might be ready for a lazy day or two on the beach. Perhaps one of the most famous stretches of sand is Brazil's Copacabana Beach. It's easy to lose a few hours people watching and dipping your toes in the warm waters of the Atlantic.

Time to discover Latin America?

Diverse is the watchword when it comes to Latin America.
Scenery shifts from white-sand beaches and tropical jungle, to colossal canyons and pale-blue icefields. Historic highlights include Mayan temples, Inca cities and colonial churches. And the wildlife roll call covers off king penguins, giant tortoises, jewel-coloured hummingbirds and tiny tree frogs.

Thinking of South America? Our tours can take you all over this continent of contrasts, from the snow-tipped Andes and the wildlife haven of the Galapagos, to the balmy beaches of Brazil. Ready for a Central American adventure? Choose between lush Costa Rica, culture-rich Mexico and cool, captivating Cuba

Things to do in...Alberobello
Surrounded by the unspoilt Puglian countryside, Alberobello’s whitewashed streets and ancient sites are a joy to explore. A visit to some of the town’s UNESCO-listed ‘trulli’ – ancient cone-shaped dwellings that have become an icon of the area – is a must. Head to the Trullo Sovrano museum to learn more about life in Alberobello, before relaxing with a gelato from Arte Fredda, considered the best ice cream spot in town.

Things to do in...Roses
This charming Spanish fishing port is an ideal base from which to explore the Costa Brava. A stroll along the sandy Bay of Roses, with the wild Cap de Creus National Park as a backdrop, is an ideal way to spend a leisurely evening.

Things to do in...Garda
There’s no limit to the hours you could spend strolling along the shores of Lake Garda and the surrounding area. A boat trip out to the Isola del Garda offers an impressive neo-Gothic villa and stunning botanical gardens. Garda’s Gothic Palace and Palazzo dei Capitano are also worth a visit. Take in the sights of this famously glamorous resort before settling down to a meal in one of the many al-fresco eateries.

Things to do in...Figueres
Perfect for culture and history lovers, Figueres’ big attraction is the Salvador Dali Museum.
