Nikki heads off the beaten track in Argentina
I was very excited to be able to do a road trip around the Iberá wetlands of north-east Argentina recently, having never spent time in this area before. With a love of nature, of the unknown and of discovering new, out of the way places, this was the perfect trip for me. Covering more than 1.3 milli... Read more»
Hannah explores Costa Rica and Panama
As an adventure-seeker and outdoor enthusiast, Costa Rica has long been on my list of places to explore so when the opportunity arose to visit in April, I jumped at the chance.

I have always been more of a fan of mammals rather than birds, but after spending nine days in the interior of Guyana my eyes have been opened to a who... Read more»
Lizzy in Peru - Andean Explorer train and Lake Titicaca
As I mentioned in my last post (www.lastfrontiers.com/articles/view/lizzy-returns-to-perus-inca-heartland) I was lucky enough to travel in real style on the Belmond Andean Explorer train days after it started operating. After the overnight journey, which was a real treat, I had a wonderful day on La... Read more»
Sue in Colombia's coffee region and Caribbean coast
Having read Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez, listened to stories from friends and clients and read the tourist board slogan "Colombia - the only risk is wanting to stay" I was longing to see and experience the country for myself and when the opportunity arose I therefore jumped...
