Our efforts to 'walk that extra mile' with every single person we assist give us a great reputation and life-lasting friendship.

At Latin Odyssey, creating spectacular, luxury travel experiences to South and Central America is a labour of love. We specialise in South and Central America because we believe it’s the most breath taking and diverse continent in the world. Whether it’s scuba-diving in the deep blue off the Belizean Cayes, dancing on the streets during the Rio carnival or seeing the sunrise at Machu Picchu in Peru, there’s something for everyone.

We’ve spent the last ten years searching out the very best that Latin America has to offer and have consistently focussed our attention on three values: quality, authenticity and intimacy.

We take immense pride in the service we offer and make a point of working with likeminded people. That’s how we can guarantee that every aspect of your luxury tailor made holiday, from the hotels the activities to the private guides and transfers will be stamped with the same high level of quality.
