Costa Rica

Costa Rica is essentially where ecotourism began, and it is the most visited country in the region. The beautiful country has a large national park system that covers 25% of the land and incredible biodiversity. There are luxurious resorts that are surrounded by a stunning variety of topography, including cloud forests, volcanoes, hot sand beaches, and more.

Vietnam

Vietnam is a popular tourist destination and has so much for the whole family to enjoy.  Explore the romantic palace in Hue, the floating villages of the Mekong Delta, the Asian allure of Saigon, and the remote beaches. Each destination, with its different cultural, historical and adventurous allures, can be mixed and matched as you see fit to create the perfect tour for your family.

Egypt

Egypt, home to one of the 7 wonders of the world, is an amazing family destination. There’s so much to explore while learning along the way. Enjoy high end accommodations and gather for delectable food and drinks. Whether you want to cruise along the Nile or relax on the beach, there is something for everyone here.

Portugal

Portugal, which shares an oceanic border with Spain on the Iberian Peninsula, has long been known for its fantastic maritime culture. The Iberian nation bears the traces of numerous seafaring cultures, including the Celts, Romans, Moors, and others, as well as the rise and fall of numerous ancient civilizations. With its medieval castles and cobblestone streets, modern-day Portugal still retains a lot of its historical characteristics. Portugal makes use of its fertile mainland soils and abundant coastline to produce fresh seafood, bread, and wines that go perfectly with its picture-perfect beaches.

South Africa

Nearly 500,000 square miles of the southernmost tip of Africa are occupied by South Africa. The diverse terrain of South Africa, which stretches from the arid north to the mighty Drakensberg Mountains in the east and the lush wine region in the south, provides tourists with a wide range of activities. To put it mildly, South Africa is culturally rich, with many indigenous tribes (there are 11 official languages) and a strong European influence owing to the colonization by the British in the 1800s and the Dutch East India Company’s long-term settlement in the 1600s.

Peru

Peru is an epicenter of sorts in South America for its diverse and ancient cultures, wild and varied landscapes, and its fusion of outstanding cuisine. Enjoy the breathtaking scenery, savor the unique and mouthwatering flavors, meet local people and prolific artisans and craftsmen, and absorb the general mystique that surrounds this beautiful country.
