Explore local beauty by embarking on a wellness tour in Colombia! Known for its strong, flavourful coffee as well as the kindness of the local people, Colombia is an Instagrammable and picturesque sight for sore eyes. With colourful painted streets and a rainbow of houses, your hotel is in the middle of the city centre, so adventure starts when you leave the lobby. Yoga is an important facet of the wellness tour, and you’ll be led in sessions on the beach, as well as special morning and sunset classes. Cartagena is at your fingertips with a street food tour, as well as different hikes and excursions to iconic landmarks such as Tayrona National Park and Aluna Springs.
Answer the call of adventure by embarking on a 2-for-1 active tour in Argentina and Chile. Adventure seekers look no further than this combination of culture, fitness, and fun. The activities on this active tour are as unique as they are exciting and demanding. For example, put the pedal to the metal on a Mendoza cycling wine tour. Visit the world-famous Perito Moreno glaciers, as well as a full-day rafting expedition! This 20-day tour will allow you to develop tight bonds with fellow adventure-seekers, explore and embrace South American culture, and interact with gorgeous animals and wildlife you may not otherwise see, such as the gorgeous and breathtaking Andean condor.

Cuba is a gorgeous, tropical island that feels like a time capsule of the 1960s. As Camila Cabello said - on this sailing tour, half of our heart is Havana, and the other half is on the untapped gems of islands that are upon the Canarreos archipelago. These islands are home to crystal clear water, where you’ll be able to snorkel and kayak with other travellers and see a sea of brightly coloured marine wildlife. Spend your nights on a yacht that is an aquatic fantasy where you can lay down and tan with a cocktail in hand. Dip your toes in the delicate white sand beaches and forget about the mundanities of the everyday world, relaxation is here.
Located on the hillside of a quartz mountain and lush tropical vegetation, this Costa Rican treasure is the epitome of luxury surrounded by natural beauty. There’s no such thing as a body that isn’t beautiful, but this spa retreat is all about giving travellers a new glow through increasing blood flow, oxygen intake, and relaxing the body and muscles. Try the ‘Heaven on Earth’ massage, which you’ll have to experience first-hand to believe. On top of this, try a ‘heart-opening’ deep-tissue massage and three infrared sauna treatments! The Retreat Costa Rica believes in an elemental approach to wellness, in that health and beauty are intrinsically connected to fire, air, water, and earth.
Costa Rica makes its second appearance on this list (for good reason) on the Costa Rica Discover Recover™ Tour, a unique holiday that puts you in the driver’s seat awaits! Choose your own adventure from a variety of natural excursions that highlight Costa Rica’s enchanting wildlife. Whether you’re in the mood for a volcano and hot spring tour, or feeling more inclined to explore a reserve and eat lunch in a rainforest amongst birds of every colour of the rainbow, there’s something that will make your jaw drop! Get soaked on a white-water rafting tour, see the capital city of San José, and go on a crocodile safari all before you tuck in for the night. Contrasting with the many excursions available, the recover element of this tour includes a stay at a luxurious resort where you can enjoy daily spa treatments and wellness activities galore!
