Journey Latin America expands trailblazer and group tour ranges

Magellanic explores Argentina and Patagonia, starting with a tour of capital Buenos Aires. Guests then venture into Patagonia via Bariloche, famed for its alpine-style architecture. The trip concludes with full day tours to Peninsula Valdes, for a whale watching excursion, and Puerto Madryn, where guests will visit a penguin colony.

Toucanet, meanwhile, starts with a Rio de Janeiro city tour and excursion to Sugar Loaf mountain, as well as a separate visit to Corcovado mountain. Guests are then whisked away to Iguazu Falls where they can experience the falls on the Brazil-Argentina border from both sides. The trip ends in Buenos Aires, with opportunities to explore the city.

Classic tours come with premium accommodation, usually four-star standard, with travel by private transport, while discovery tours are typically based out of two- or three-star hotels and use a mix of private and public transport. They also tend to offer more opportunities for activity, trekking and getting off the beaten track.

JLA is also continuing to offer bubble tours – private departures for groups of six or more. More than 30 JLA itineraries can be tailored as bubble tours; they come with the services of a tour leader and flexibility for clients to choose their own departure date. There is a supplement of £250pp, although this is waived for groups of eight or more.
