Adventure: Machu Picchu
Party in Colombia
AMAZON RAINFOREST Tours to the Amazon can be arranged from Brazil, Peru or Bolivia and all are likely to include caiman spotting and piranha fishing. You’re likely to sleep in hammocks and swim in the Amazon every day during a rainforest adventure. BUENOS AIRES, ARGENTINA Tango displays can be seen all over the city, particularly in the clubs of hip artists’ district San Telmo. Once you’ve watched the experts at it, take a lesson in one of the city’s many schools to try out your moves in the clubs. DEATH ROAD, BOLIVIA A bike ride along Bolivia’s infamous Death Road is a rite of passage for any traveller worth their mettle. Outside Bolivia’s capital La Paz, the bumpy and narrow track is on a very steep incline and has earned its dangerous reputation thanks to suffering the most casualties every year compared to any other road. Ride with caution. WHEN TO GO Climate conditions differ from country to country. Best check tntmagazine.com/travel for more details. Avoid the rainy season if possible. GETTING THERE Only go it alone if you’re a seasoned traveller with a good command of Spanish. Otherwise there are a variety of tour groups. HOW MUCH Tours start from about £345.

CANADA WHY As you would expect from the second largest country in the world, Canada has something to offer every type of traveller. If you’re a city-lover, check out the bright lights of Toronto, French-speaking Montréal and eclectic Vancouver. Or you can get closer to nature in the Rocky Mountains, then explore the country’s pristine wilderness or ride the rodeo. WHEN TO GO Any time of year is good. To enjoy the outdoors, visit in summer. In most areas, March to May and September to October bring fewer tourists and often surprisingly pleasant weather. And autumn finds forests cloaked in a spectacular mantle of colour. GETTING THERE Air Canada is the best bet for travelling to Canada from London. Which hub you choose will depend on your final destination – Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton are the gateways to the Rockies, while the cities of the eastern provinces have their own airports. HOW MUCH Tours of Canada start at about £900. VISAS No visas required for stays up to 180 days for Kiwis and Aussies. South Africans need a visa. ❚
