In 2025, Our Routes captured how the Latin Routes team experienced Latin America and Central America in real time. These were not abstract travel ideas or desk based research, but journeys taken by our specialists, shared honestly through blogs, guides and reflections. Let's explore our Latin America travel experiences from 2025.
Our Routes In 2025: The Journeys That Shaped Our Year
From rainforest rivers and family adventures to wildlife wetlands, gastronomy focused holidays and iconic treks, each experience played a role in shaping how we design holidays and advise our clients.
Costa Rica: A Year Of Depth And Perspective
Costa Rica was the most explored destination of 2025, experienced through multiple lenses.
Pacuare: Immersion In The Rainforest
The Pacuare experience, travelled by the Latin Routes team, offered one of the most immersive journeys of the year. Reaching this remote rainforest region and experiencing it as our travellers do highlighted what makes Pacuare such a powerful addition to a Costa Rica itinerary.
River journeys, dense jungle and lodge stays revealed a slower, more connected side of the country. This experience refined how we recommend Pacuare for travellers seeking nature led adventures with a strong sense of place.

Costa Rica Through A Trade Lens
Alongside team travel, Costa Rica played a key role in trade engagement during 2025. A dedicated travel agent experience, hosted by the Latin Routes trade team, focused on showcasing the country’s diversity, sustainability and flexibility for different types of travellers.

Why These Journeys Matter
Every journey shared through Our Routes in 2025 added depth to how we understand each destination. Some trips were personal, others product focused or trade led, but all were rooted in real experience.
When we design our holidays, recommend routes or advise on pacing, it comes from time spent travelling, not assumptions.
If any of these Latin America travel experiences have sparked ideas for your own travels, our specialists are ready to help you shape a route built on real experience.
