GLOBUS UNVEILS 2016 SOUTH AMERICA VACATIONS
LITTLETON, Colorado – July 22, 2015 – Chorizo-stuffed empanadas, fried sweet bananas plus a menu of sultry cities, exotic jungles, sandy beaches and mysterious mountains … South and Central America satisfy the foodie, adventurer, the naturalist and the historian. No wonder South America is the Globus family of brands’ fastest growing destination! In fact, this month, the Globus family announced that in 2016, it is providing travelers nearly 50 adventures in more than a dozen South American countries, including five (5) NEW vacations.
NEW South American itineraries for 2016 include:
Costa Rica Explorer – The Doka Plantation will show travelers how the red coffee cherry transforms into the perfect cup of joe. Then they’ll see how the volcanoes, hot springs and hanging bridges from San Jose to Manuel Antonio transform travelers. This Globus vacation is 7 days from $1,619.
Ecuador: From the Andes to the Amazon – From the volcanoes to the thermal pools to the discotecas, travelers will feel the heat of Ecuador’s mountains, jungles and cities. They can also cool off with a traditional toquilla hat, a dugout canoe ride, or a pineapple chicha on the rocks. This Cosmos tour is 10 days from $1,749.
Ecuador Discovery – Travelers will not only have the chance to straddle the equatorial line on this journey through Ecuador, they’ll balance the colonial cities of Quito and Cuenca with the ruins and volcanoes of the mountainous countryside. This Monograms package is 9 days from $2,849.
Magical Colombia – A visit to Bogota’s cathedral built 600 feet underground in a salt mine is just the beginning of a vacation full of flavor. Visits to the Coffee Triangle and the colorful streets of Pereira and Cartagena are additional treats for the senses. This Monograms vacation is 8 days from $1,299.
Cruising the Galápagos – From lava lizards to swimming with the sea lions, there are so many colorful creatures and experiences to write home about. Monograms is offering travelers 7-day and 9-day options to cruise the Galápagos (7 day packages priced from $3,029; 9 days priced from $4,769).
