Family holidays in Latin America

Summary

Latin Americans love children and they will be welcome everywhere! Peru has its best weather during the summer holidays and is a fantastic country for families, with plenty of fun and educational activities (from mountain biking to rafting) and just the right amount of relaxation. A cruise to the Galapagos is a special experience for all ages with incredible wildlife, snorkelling and swimming ­and several boats offer child­specific activities and guides. Costa Rica has wonderful beaches, good wildlife, and plenty of adventurous activities. Brazil offers something for everyone, whether canoeing along the Amazon river looking for monkeys, surfing down sand dunes, or watching a sunset in the north­east, and will satisfy even the trickiest teenagers!

Best time

All year round, depending on the country. Suggestions for Christmas holidays include Costa Rica, Brazil, Argentina or Antarctica. In summer visit Peru, Ecuador or Mexico and Easter is best for Guatemala and Venezuela.
