If 2011 is the year you vow to see more of the world, 19 days exploring Argentina, Brazil and Chile is not a bad way to start.

All three South American countries are worth a visit in their own right, with breath taking scenery and unrivalled culture and now you can enjoy them all together in one trip.

Travellers can book a 19-day group tour with Journey Latin America, which will showcase the best the country has to offer, including Sugarloaf Mountain, Rio De Janeiro and Iguazú Falls.

It’s not cheap at over £5,000 but the comprehensive tour will mean the group will see everywhere they ever wanted and needed to see, along with people who know the area better than most.

The price includes all flights, including those from the UK, all transport and accommodation and all trips and with tours guaranteed to run with just four guests they really could have their very own personal tour guide.

Highlights of the trip, as well as Sugarloaf Mountain, includes time to explore Rio, the rainforests of Iguazú, Buenos Aires and the famous lake crossing from Argentina to Chile.

Many people would argue that English drives the world today. From businessmen in the Middle East to hoteliers in Asia, (and let’s not forget beach bums from around the world who want to use English to flirt with tourists!) everyone wants to learn this international language of currency. And you know what that means? This desire to learn the lingo has given rise to huge demand for English teachers worldwide!

Uni entries fall as students head overseas to work and learn

Rising university fees have led to a 30 per cent rise in the number of students heading abroad to work, study and volunteer, according to new figures from STA Travel. The youth travel specialist has seen a climb in bookings after the government introduced its top-up university fees for 2012. Many young people are now looking at alternative ways to bolster their CVs.
