LATIN AMERICA & CARIBBEAN
Dominican Republic – beyond the beaches
On the shores of Punta Cana and the Samaná Peninsula, white sands meet turquoise seas, palm groves sway, and time slows to the rhythm of the Caribbean. Yet the island offers far more than paradise beaches.
In Santo Domingo, the oldest city of the New World, cobbled streets and colonial facades tell the story of centuries past. Inland, mountains rise into cool pine forests, rivers carve deep canyons, and hidden waterfalls tumble into jungle pools.
The Dominican Republic is a land of contrasts – history and wilderness, colour and calm – a Caribbean nation that invites you to both relax and explore.
Cuba – rhythm, colour and Caribbean soul
In Havana, vintage cars cruise past pastel facades, music drifts from open doorways, and the Malecón glows at sunset over the sea. In Trinidad, cobblestone streets and colonial mansions tell stories of another time, while Santiago pulses with the sounds of Son Cubano – the island’s beating heart of music.
Beyond the cities, the Viñales Valley spreads out in rolling tobacco fields and limestone cliffs, where Cuba’s famous cigars are still hand-rolled by tradition. On the coast, Varadero’s white sands stretch for miles, while hidden coves and islands shimmer in turquoise waters.
Cuba is a dance between past and present – history in its plazas, rhythm in its nights, and paradise along its shores – an island of spirit and beauty like no other.
Mexico – colour, history and coastlines of dreams
From the mighty pyramids of Teotihuacán to the colonial streets of Oaxaca and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico is a land steeped in history and alive with colour. In Mexico City, Aztec ruins stand beside baroque cathedrals and Frida Kahlo’s vibrant legacy, while Puebla delights with tiled facades and flavours like mole and chiles en nogada.
On the Caribbean shore, the Riviera Maya dazzles with turquoise seas, Maya temples and hidden cenotes, while Bacalar’s “Lagoon of Seven Colors” glimmers in shades of blue. Along the Pacific, Oaxaca’s golden beaches and Chiapas’ jungle valleys reveal a wilder, untamed Mexico – where waterfalls crash, canyons tower and Mayan traditions endure.
Mexico is a journey of contrasts – ancient and modern, festive and serene – a country that welcomes with warmth and leaves travellers inspired at every turn.
