Destination of the Month:
South America
As winter grips the northern hemisphere, South America welcomes travellers with its warm temperatures, vibrant cultures, and breathtaking landscapes. Whether you’re seeking pristine beaches, rich history, or lively celebrations, these three destinations offer unforgettable experiences.
1. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Rio is a city of contrasts, blending natural beauty with urban energy. December marks the start of summer, perfect for lounging on the iconic Copacabana and Ipanema beaches. Nature lovers can hike through the Tijuca Rainforest or take in panoramic views from Sugarloaf Mountain. History buffs will enjoy exploring the vibrant Santa Teresa district and marveling at Christ the Redeemer.
Holiday Vibes: As December progresses, the city gears up for its legendary New Year’s celebrations, with samba rhythms and dazzling fireworks lighting up the shores.
Must-Do: Take a boat tour of Guanabara Bay to soak in Rio’s stunning skyline.
2. Buenos Aires, Argentina
Argentina’s capital is a cultural gem. December offers pleasant weather, making it ideal for wandering the colorful streets of La Boca, visiting art galleries in Palermo, or enjoying a tango show in San Telmo. For foodies, Buenos Aires is a paradise of parrillas (steakhouses) and rich Malbec wines.
Holiday Charm: Argentine Christmas traditions, like sharing “Nochebuena” (Christmas Eve dinner), give the city a warm, festive atmosphere.
Beyond the City: Extend your trip to explore the striking glaciers and mountain peaks of Patagonia.
3. Cartagena, Colombia
This Caribbean gem is a feast for the senses. The walled Old City, a UNESCO World Heritage site, enchants with its colonial architecture and vibrant colors. Sunseekers can take a short boat ride to the Rosario Islands for white sand beaches and coral reefs. At night, the city comes alive with salsa music and bustling street markets.
Local Flavor: Cartagena’s seafood is legendary—don’t miss dishes like ceviche or fried fish with coconut rice.
