Get in touchNot long after joining our Latin America team, our colleague Joe was jetting off on a three-week research trip to explore the sights and delights of Argentina, Chile and Brazil. As part of the Sunvil promise, our experts provide first-hand knowledge of all our destinations, so Joe visited a range of lodges, National Parks and activity providers that are part of our specialist Latin America programme. Read Joe's highlights of his trip along with some interesting 'Did you know..' facts.
It was the last day of our week’s stay in the Pousada Convento de Évora. I was sitting in the little courtyard outside our “cell”, looking up. Hundreds of swallows were diving, wheeling, soaring at dizzying speed against the deep blue sky which had overlooked us for seven days. My mind was full of impressions of this beautiful city in this wonderful country and here they are….
Laconia sounds dreamy and breathless to me. It came as a surprise to learn that the word laconic actually means concise, if not abrupt. The Spartans were the ones behind it, those based in Sparta on the Peloponnese, eyed warily from Athens and indeed most of the peoples around them.
Lemnos/Limnos...however you spell it, I have been travelling here since 2000, and still marvel how such a fabulous island has remained relatively unspoilt by the advances of mass tourism over the last 20 odd years.
