Machu Picchu/Oyster If you’ve been paying attention, you know that Latin America is rapidly ascending lists of the world’s must-see destinations. According to the World Trade Organization, inbound tourism to Latin America grew by three percent in 2018, and the figure is predicted to grow. And with landscapes as varied at the Atacama Desert, the…
Stretching along the western shores of South America’s Southern Cone, Chile offers a bedazzling variety of windswept coastlines, sparse desertscapes, magnificent glaciers, beautiful (and oftentimes colorful) architecture, and great museums. From the arid Atacama Desert in the north to the rugged Tierra del Fuego in the Antarctic south, here are some of the best places…
Traveling is eye-opening, fun, and breathtaking, but let’s face it: It can be hard on the wallet. So while we’d love to jet off to the Maldives for a two-week stay at an expensive resort, or go on an around-the-world cruise, that’s not always doable. For a minute though, we suspended disbelief to imagine where…

Glenwood Hot Springs Lodge/Oyster While everyone loves a swimming pool, there’s nothing more galling than trying to enjoy a relaxing soak elbow-to-elbow with a swarm of other bathers. But dive into one of these monster-size pools and, with so much space to yourself, you’re more likely to lose your way than lose your temper.
Juan Manuel/Flickr If Patagonia has been on your bucket list forever, you’re not alone. However, as we’ve already told you, the region is massive and exploring it all on a standard-length vacation is nearly impossible. Given the cost and time associated with traveling in Patagonia, it essentially comes down to a choice between Chile or…
To call Patagonia a place of extremes is a cliche that’s also an epic understatement. This wind-swept and wild region spans Argentina and Chile — from the Atlantic to the Pacific Oceans — and includes everything from barren plains to wildlife-packed coastal regions to some of the world’s tallest mountains. Part of the reason that…
