South America
Renowned for its vibrant cultures, layered history and often otherworldly environments, South America is guaranteed to fascinate even the most seasoned traveller. In each of the continent’s varied nations lies a rich history waiting to be discovered – from the ancient wonder of Machu Picchu to the rainbow of weathered colonial buildings in Colombia. South America also boasts some of the most spectacular natural beauty on the planet, whether venturing through the unimaginably vast Amazon rainforest, relaxing by the sapphire waters on the Caribbean coast or gazing awestruck at the magnificence of the Andes mountain range. All that has made South America into the continent that it is today can be seen in the traditions of those that call it home – fiery salsa dancing in Argentina, colourful carnivals in Brazil and the alien cultures of the Amazonian tribespeople. It is a continent oozing in passion and flair.

Central America
A land once ruled by civilizations still shrouded in mystery, Central America has retained an air of riddlesome intrigue since adopting elements of western culture. Getting lost amongst Cuba’s cobbled colonial streets plunges one into the depths of its Latin splendour, whilst exploring the jungle-veiled, vine-entangled temples of Mexico and Guatemala is unlike any other experience on earth. Central America is also home to the notoriously luxurious waters of the Caribbean Sea and the delectable delights of Mexico’s culinary scene – an undeniably unsurpassable combination for anyone looking to truly escape everyday life. With the majority of the continent still coated in thick jungle, much of this fascinating land lies yet undiscovered.

africa
Only Africa can offer visitors the prospect of witnessing lions roam the Masai Mara, following wandering herds of elephants in the Serengeti and coming face to face with a gorilla in the jungles of Uganda. The abundance of natural beauty on show is no secret – unmatched safari experiences, an incredible array of wildlife and vast expanses of wilderness to explore – however that is not all that this incredible continent has to offer. Whether it be the iconic visage of Kilimanjaro against the Tanzanian skyline, the mesmerising expanse of the Sahara’s amber dunes or the idyllic white sands and crystal clear waters of Zanzibar Island, the untamed beauty of Africa’s wilderness is undeniable. Being home to the origins of the human race, the extent of Africa’s history and variety of its cultures, both tribal and more conventional, is mindblowing. The extent of the continent’s natural splendour is matched only by the welcoming kindness of its people.

Antarctica
Without doubt the most unspoiled location on planet earth, the fact that much of Antarctica remains untravelled to this day is a testament to the brutal serenity of this vast and icy continent. The landscape incorporates mesmerising ice sculptures naturally carved by the elements, numerous mountains unconquered by man and a vast white expanse unlike anything you have ever witnessed. Antarctica and its surrounding seascape boast habitats for a variety of utterly unique species, from the immeasurable penguin colonies to the world’s largest aquatic apex predator – the killer whale. The continent lured the attention of many pioneers during the 20th century’s Heroic Age of Antarctic Exploration and is now waiting to be explored by any wishing to well and truly step off the beaten track.
