Every once in a while we like to dive into our visitor reports and see what you all are reading from our online luxury travel magazine. The portal pages get the most views of course, like luxury hotels in Costa Rica or Mexico luxury travel. And individual hotel reviews tend to do better than tour stories over time, just because more people are searching for info on those.
We take a good number of organized travel trips each year though to produce our luxury tour stories, scoping out the best adventures and the best operators for your epic vacation in Latin America. We run detailed articles on the experience so you’ll know what to expect and try to provide a story that goes beyond the typical tour brochure text you see on most company websites.
Since it’s getting harder and harder to find these kinds of stories on shopping-focused Google now—these days the top 10 results are all individual tour companies and TripAdvisor (after you scroll past half a page of ads). We’re highlighting them here so you can locate them easily.
Here’s what our readers have been checking out the most this year in terms of our luxury tour reviews and feature stories.

Where are you headed? What kinds of experiences are you looking for? Leave a comment for what you’re planning and it might line up with some travel itinerary or adventure tour we plan on covering soon. We have multiple writers living in, and traveling through, all parts of Latin America, so we try to stay on top of what’s happening with travel trends and great holiday experiences.
Some of these articles are about organized tours, some of them you can do independently. If it’s the latter and you need your own wheels, we recommend Vamos Rent a Car in Costa Rica and Hertz in most other locations when available.
