	Latin America For Less: Argentina Bolivia Brazil Chile Ecuador Peru Peru Luxury

	In this edition of our monthly newsletter, Latin America For Less takes you on an exhilarating journey through South America. Your path begins at the top of the continent with a business article that untangles the growing ties between two of South America’s most dynamic countries: Brazil and Peru. Next, you will set out to the lands of the ancient Inca for a novel expedition to the sea. While you are there, we recommend that you stick around until October for a taste of the turrón de Doña Pepa (perhaps Peru’s sweetest treat) as you continue your journey southbound in South America’s largest procession, which is dedicated to Lima’s healing patron saint. The Lord of Miracles’ festivities will cease just in time for you to head on down (and a little to the east) to take advantage of our exciting monthly offer: Brazil’s 37th Formula One Grand Prix in São Paolo! Next, you will take a big jump to Ushuaia, the world’s “southernmost city” and the capital of Argentina’s Tierra del Fuego. We hope that you enjoy your journey as much as we have enjoyed preparing it for you…and don’t forget to check out our helpful travel tips to guide you along the way!

MONTHLY RECIPE

In preparation for the Señor de los Milagros Festivities, LAFL dishes up Turrón de Doña Pepa!

The soft and sweet turrón is a decadent nougat candy that has been around for over 500 years in Spain. A famous Christmas treat in the European country, the turrón’s origins are believed to be Moorish. However local variations began to spring up all over Latin America as the Spaniards colonized the lands.
