Planning a vacation or longer trip to South America can feel like an overwhelming prospect. It’s for this reason that I provide a whole range of travel planning services for readers interested in extra assistance – perfect for if you want a truly custom-designed itinerary or just some feedback on your existing plans.
But I want to make sure that you, my readers, can access the most up-to-date information possible for planning your next adventure, as well as have the opportunity to ask me questions. It’s for this reason I’ve started running webinars to help you with your trip planning for key destinations around South America.
Each is recorded and available to purchase to be downloaded and watched on demand.
