Select Latin America has specialised in cultural and natural history travel for over two decades.

Our destinations range from Mexico to Antarctica, and we have selected those locations which capture the essence of Latin America: from the Andes to the Amazon, and from the heights of Macchu Pichu to the tango clubs of Buenos Aires... If you've ever dreamt of leaving your desk and riding with the gauchos on the Pampas, or SCUBA diving with hammerhead sharks in pristine ocean, give us a call.

To assist in your choice of a tailor-made holiday, we offer suggested tours of each region, but we are flexible and can create a trip to meet your own personal travel goals.

For those who prefer to travel in a small group, we run fixed-date departure tours which are escorted by knowledgeable guides.

We carefully select our hotels, lodges, tour leaders, and local guides to ensure you gain an insight into the culture and ambience of this colourful region.

Our experience

Select Latin America has grown from Galapagos Adventure Tours, one of the pioneers in offering tours to the Galapagos and Ecuador more than twenty years ago.

The company was founded by David Horwell, who worked as a naturalist guide in the Galapagos when tourism was in its infancy. Later he led tours and expeditions throughout Latin America, and still leads some of our tours to Ecuador. A recognised authority on the Galapagos, David has authored two books and numerous articles on the region as well as participating in radio broadcasts.

Our dedicated travel consultants are passionate about Latin America (two have even married Latinos!) and can advise you on all aspects of your trip. You will benefit from our extensive travel experience, detailed local knowledge, and enthusiasm.

We are independently owned and managed so our travel recommendations are unbiased and based on merit.

Our clients

The variety of wildlife and culture in Latin America draws people of all ages and backgrounds.

Nature-lovers will delight at the sight of a Three-Toed sloth and the chance of approaching a jaguar. From the colourful Cock-of-the-Rock to the majestic Andean Condor, the huge diversity of birds will suit the keen "twitcher" or amateur bird-watcher alike.

The stunning scenery will captivate photographers from the deserts of the Atacama to the glaciers of Patagonia.

Whilst the majority of our tours can be enjoyed by all, some of our more active itineraries require a modicum of fitness. Those seeking an adrenaline rush can go ocean kayaking, mountain climbing, high-altitude trekking, or sailing around Cape Horn.
