With the January newsletter, Latin America for Less invites you to learn about Brazil’s most exciting spectacle and party: the world renowned Carnaval! While visiting this culturally diverse and ecologically rich country is always a treat, the summer sun and the Brazilian Carnival in late February only add to the excitement. For this month, we also teach you how to make Feijoada, Brazil’s national dish; if the Carnival does not tempt you for a stop in Brazil, this delicious meat and bean stew just might! We also share some skincare tips for airplane travel. These will ensure you arrive to your destinations without some of the unpleasant side effects of flying. With so much recent publicity of Argentina’s Che Guevara, our Human Resources Manager, Simon Ross-Gill felt obliged to write about why the image of Che has remained so prevalent around the world. We also share with you the chronicles of a group of London friends and their trip to Peru. Their pictures and smiles are truly impressive and we hope their account encourages you to create your own, equally memorable Latin American adventure.
