@latauk's #LATAExpo is the biggest travel trade event in the UK focussed on #LatinAmerica.
This year I got to show Sara Borja from @sacha_lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon my interview with #birding expert Oscar Tapuy in @wanderlustmag:

More #CentralAmerican restaurants made it into the @TheWorlds50Best Restaurants in Latin America 2025, so it is only fitting that the colonial, volcano-ringed city of Antigua in #Guatemala will host the awards ceremony on 2 December

The List - 51 to 100: https://t.co/U84bZJomhs

Latin America is more than photos at Machu Picchu or Chichén Itzá.

Hoy, #10deAgosto celebramos el Primer Grito de Independencia del Ecuador, una fecha que marcó el inicio de nuestra lucha por la libertad. 🇪🇨

Very sad to hear of the passing of Geoffrey Chesler, a kind & gifted editor who gently coaxed me through the research and writing of five @CultureSmart guides.
Hugely curious & engaging, his reassuring voice will be sadly missed 😓

🚨After a decade of research from the Atacama to Tierra del Fuego, I’m delighted to say my new book #SmallEarthquakes is published today.

Blending travel writing, history and reportage, it uncovers the fascinating story of Britain’s forgotten connections with South America.

#Ecuador - the birthplace of cacao - pushed the boat out in London with a chocolate & wine pairing session on a narrowboat. Guests tried premium Ecuadorian chocolate from Hacienda San Jose & @CardenasChoc with wines from Bodega Dos Hemisferios @VinosDelEcuador!

Fab to see @travwriters at the @latauk #LATAExpo2025 travel trade show, focussed exclusively on Latin America.
#Ecuador knows how to party & the closing fiesta, with Ecuadorian folk dancers from UK-based #GrupoWarmis, was a celebration of all that is great about this Andean gem.

[LATA @latauk]

Thank you for being there with us!

#Ecuador's Andean capital #Quito unveiled its new #citybrand at #LATAExpo2025
Inspired by:
- Sun sign petroglyphs from the Yumbo site of Tulipe
- 3 circles representing 0° 0 minutes 0 seconds as Quito sits on the Equator
- Peaked flourish of the u and i symbolizes mountain peaks

#LATAExpo, the biggest #traveltrade event in Europe dedicated to #LatinAmerica will soon open its doors again at the beautiful @devereofficial in Windsor.
Last year, #Ecuador provided a magical night of food, music & a dancing cuy!
Great to see @CATA_AgenciaCA will be there too!

[LatAmTravelist @LatAmTravelist]

For a younger me, the Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa opened a wondrous - if gritty - window into Latin America that made me want to climb in & soak it all up.
In all these years, the wonder hasn't waned.
QEPD maestro!

@EmbraturBrasil & @VBRATAUK brought reps from all 9 of the Northeast states for a roadshow at the @BrazilEmbassyUK to shine a light on this attraction-packed region.
Now I need to explore Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe & Bahia!

Great to see #SmallEarthquakes in fine company in the @asianbooklist preview.
