As the Land of Samba title dictates, rhythm is king in Brazil and there’s no prejudice when it comes to variety. From the jazz tones of choro and the romantic style of bossa nova, to the carnival-styled frevo and the smooth dance style of samba, the music alone is reason enough to visit Brazil and you’re guaranteed to find your feet tapping along at some point during your stay.

Chile is a country of natural beauty and contrast. Lined by the towering peaks of the Andes, it stretches down half of the west coast of South America, boasting the world’s driest desert to the north, a Mediterranean climate in the centre and a Lake District to the south, with Antarctica on the horizon.
Worth the short tour north, with its rich cultural legacy and unique architecture, it’s easy to see why the hilly seaport of Valparaiso is nicknamed the ‘Jewel of the Pacific’. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is considered Chile’s cultural capital and boasts a labyrinth of beautiful streets and picturesque alleyways punctuated by numerous ‘elevators’ on the steep hillsides. The naturally occurring amphitheatre-like form and vibrant colour of this charming colonial city will guarantee you remember it for a long time to come.
