All of us at Latin America for Less wish you a Happy Holiday Season as we send you the December newsletter. If the cold weather up north is not enough incentive for a trip down to sunny Latin America, this newsletter offers a few more excuses for you to pack up your bags and head south of the equator. I recently found myself in the Amazonian jungle of Peru’s Puerto Maldonado and tried out some of the adventure activities offered there. I share my experience and highly recommend a visit to the Amazon for anyone needing a break from the hustle and bustle of modern life. As this trip was also the perfect opportunity to try out a new camera, I share some useful travel photography tips. This month’s recipe teaches you how to make Argentina’s legendary chimichurri sauce. Quick and easy to prepare, this sauce complements any meat! As some of you find yourselves wondering what to do for New Year’s Eve, we share what goes on in the Andean city of Cuzco. Our Cuzco manager, Cristina Daus, writes about some New Year’s customs from the city she now calls home. To conclude, we share a letter and photos sent to us by clients detailing their experience in Peru. We hope that you enjoy this newsletter and that it sparks your interest to learning more about travel in Latin America.

FEATURED DESTINATIONS

Amazon Adventure Activities

While some well-seasoned travelers associate a vacation to the jungle filled with lazy afternoons, reading in hammocks and enjoying the savory cuisine of the rainforest, there are those travelers who take a much more active approach to a visit to the Amazon. Adventure activities in the rainforest are becoming alternative ways to experience the Amazon. The more popular of these activities are mountain biking, kayaking and canopy climbing. While visiting the Refugio Amazonas, the Tambopata Research Center and Posada Amazonas in the province of Tambopata in the Peruvian department of Madre de Dios I experienced these so called “soft-adventure” activities firsthand.

MONTHLY RECIPE

Chimichurri Sauce: Argentine Steak Sauce

The British, Italian, and French immigrants to Argentina strongly influenced the cuisine of this Latin American country. A fusion of these European flavors with the ingredients of the creoles lead to the creation of Chimichurri, one of the world’s most famous steak sauces.
