Where are the best family holidays in Latin America?

What better way to prise your children from their i-pads and games than to take them on a life-changing journey to the Galapagos Islands, one of the world’s most fascinating and engaging wildlife destinations? A year round destination set on the Equator, this archipelago is home to unique species of birds, marine and land mammals that are as curious about you as you are to see them.

A family holiday to Latin America can offer so many exciting experiences! If you head to the Galapagos Islands in the early part of the summer holidays, you may have an encounter with whales such as humpbacks or even sperm whales in the more northerly and westerly outlying islands such as Genovesa and the Pacific side of Isabela.

Equally, this is the time to spot bottlenose dolphins swimming alongside your cruise yacht as you journey from island to island. Snorkel with sea turtles and playful sea lions who love to blow bubbles at you. Children who love dinosaurs will be intrigued by the prehistoric-looking land and marine iguanas that can be found in abundance in many parts of the islands.

Guess the age of the giant tortoises that move slowly through the vegetation of the highlands, an iconic image of the Galapagos. If you arrive around the Easter holidays, watch the comical mating dance of the blue-footed boobies which earned them their name, after the word for clown – ‘bobo’. With a chance to see huge numbers of these species at each port of call throughout the islands, you and your family will love discovering this wildlife paradise together.

Journey between the islands in comfortable style aboard small catamarans or yachts which are ideal for chartering privately for a large family party. If you and your family like to make new friends, then join a specially designed family departure where guides have been selected who engage particularly well with children.

They can head off by themselves with their own guide and enjoy activities, guided walks and even meals especially designed to suit them. With some yachts taking little ones as young as 5 years old, this really is the place to create some really unforgettable family memories together.
