We have planned trips for families travelling with babies, toddlers, teenagers and every age in between. The key is choosing the right destinations and setting an appropriate pace – which is where our expertise comes in.

For little children, destinations like Costa Rica and Mexico work brilliantly thanks to direct flights, easy beach access, great wildlife-spotting and relatively little travelling once you’re on the ground. The region really opens up once children reach 7 or 8 and are able to swim, go on short hikes and engage with guides, with places like Galapagos Islands and Peru striking an excellent balance between adventure, wildlife and history. For teenagers and active older children with an appetite for adventure, we can arrange higher-octane experiences to keep them engaged: dune buggying in the Atacama Desert, marine safaris off the Panamanian coast, cenote diving in the Yucatán, white-water rafting along Chile’s Carretera Austral.

Many of our team are parents themselves and have travelled extensively throughout Latin America with their own children, so can advise what genuinely works for families at different ages and stages.

Absolutely. We know and recommend the properties that genuinely work for your family, whether that’s suites with space for cots or extra beds, interconnecting rooms, private villas, flexible dining, places where there’s simply enough space – and flexibility – for children to be children. Many of our favourite lodges and hotels are family-owned and run, and are places where the owners have raised their own children.

This is a question we are often asked. Latin America is a vast and varied region; some places lend themselves brilliantly to family travel, while others are less suitable. Part of our job is knowing the difference: which neighbourhoods to stay in, which roads to drive. Our team have personally travelled extensively throughout the region and we only recommend places we know to be safe.

Throughout your journey, you have the backing of our concierge team and our trusted local partners. If a flight is cancelled, a bag goes missing, you have a flat tyre in the middle of nowhere, or your plans need to change unexpectedly, we provide 24/7 on the ground support so you don’t have to worry. In the unlikely event of a medical emergency, we have protocols in place and access to trusted medical providers across the region, including emergency evacuation where required.

Ultimately, what we provide is peace of mind. Families can relax and enjoy the experience, confident that there is a great deal of expertise and support quietly working away behind the scenes.

It depends on the ages of your children, how adventurous they are, and what sort of trip you want to have together. Our role is to help you find the destination that suits your family.

Costa Rica is often a wonderful first introduction to the region, with accommodation ranging from rustic jungle lodgings to fully-staffed, ultra-luxurious beachfront estates, and the pace can be as active or as laid-back as you please. For active families, Patagonia is hard to beat for trekking, riding, fishing and kayaking; Peru shines for lovers of history, dramatic landscapes and food; and the Galápagos Islands are a must for any budding young naturalist or marine biologist.

It’s worth considering the time you have available; for those with only 7-10 days, Mexico and Costa Rica are our top picks, with direct international flight connections and the option to major on just one or two regions. Others, such as Chile and Argentina, are best reserved for longer trips to do them justice, given the additional distances involved and often-complicated internal travel arrangements.

Yes. We can arrange trusted childcare everywhere we operate, from occasional babysitting to full-time support throughout your journey. We work only with vetted, qualified local childcare providers and can tailor arrangements to suit your family’s needs, giving parents the opportunity to enjoy activities, dinners or moments of relaxation while knowing their children are in safe hands.

Should you wish to bring your own nanny, we can make the necessary arrangements – many of our properties have single rooms for support staff.

Absolutely. Some of our favourite trips have brought together several generations to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, graduation or family reunion.
