Around 850 miles west of Portugal, the Azores are an archipelago of nine Portuguese-speaking islands scattered across the Atlantic waters, known for their dramatic and verdant landscapes.
Portuguese navigators discovered the first of the Azores in 1432, although 2,000 Flemish settlers were among its early immigrants, and their influence can still be seen in the windmills that dot the landscape on some islands. Praia de Vitoria is located on Terceira, an island whose name means ‘third’ in reference to the order in which it was discovered.

Port Canaveral is your grand gateway to some fantastic Florida highlights, including the world-famous, and enormous, Kennedy Space Centre. NASA’s primary launch centre of human spaceflight since 1968.

Forming a British Overseas Territory, this archipelago consists of around 40 low-lying islands southeast of the Bahamas. Grand Turk is the second most populated, even at scarcely seven square miles.
The oldest known residents were the Arawak-speaking Taino people, and it is believed they traded salt which formed naturally when the sea water entered shallow inland ponds and evaporated in the sun. Indeed British colonists from Bermuda arrived in the late seventeenth century to collect the salt, and they modified the system. There’s still plenty of evidence of the low stone walls used to compartment off the salt pans across the islands, not least at the Salt House museum next to Town Salina.

Barbados es una de las islas más conocidas y hermosas del Caribe oriental. Forma parte de la Commonwealth británica y es nombrada la higuera barbuda, que alguna vez se había en abundancia.
Barbados es una isla done la relajación y la aventura van de la mano. Las playas de arena blanca se extienden a lo largo de kilómetros, mientras que el buceo con esnórquel y la navegación a vela son algunos de los deportes acuáticos de clase mundial que se ofrecen.

Un crucero a Barbados comienza con un paseo por Bridgetown, la capital, que fue declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO en 2011. La ciudad tiene una encantadora combinación de edificios coloniales y la vitalidad caribeña. No deje de visitar la Abadía de San Nicolás, una histórica casa de plantaciones y una de las tres mansiones jacobeas del Hemisferio Occidental.

On the north shore of Brazil’s ‘shoulder,’ Fortaleza is a pleasant palm-lined city and the capital of the Céara state. It looks out into the Atlantic from a long stretch of beautiful, sandy coast.
The first European settlers here were Dutch, and they built the five-pointed, star-shaped Fort Shoonenborch in 1649 after defeat at the hands of local people and the Portuguese. In 1654, the Dutch left and the fort was renamed Fortaleza de Nossa Senhora da Assunção; the area around it was to grow into Brazil’s fifth largest city. The citadel itself still remains, its low-rise whitewashed walls adorned with cannons and palm-trees.

Host of the world’s largest carnival, Salvador is dubbed the Brazilian capital of happiness. It’s a fine example of the country’s rich cultural history, beautiful architecture and adventurous cuisine.
Originally the capital of Brazil until 1763 when Rio de Janeiro was given the title, it is now the third most populous city in the country.

Founded in 1549 by Portuguese settlers, Salvador soon became an important sea port, especially for the trade of sugar and slaves.

The beachy resort of Armação dos Búzios, or simply Búzios, is set on an ocean peninsula east of Rio de Janeiro, and is famed as a premium and stylish holiday destination for beach and surf fans alike.
Ferradura beach sits in a calm horseshoe bay, offering watersports, while Geribá is a popular surfing site. Among the resort’s village streets, visit cobbled Rua das Pedras for dining and nightlife.

Montevideo joya no valorada del Atlántico Sur, en la orilla norte del poderoso Río de la Plata, está llena de una mezcla intoxicante de tradición Europea y la cultura colorida de América del Sur.

Discover a small slice of Wales in Argentina. While Puerto Madryn has roots from the British Isles, the scenery is unmistakably Patagonian, with sweeping vistas and colonies of sea lions and penguins.
Somewhat unexpectedly, this Argentinean resort is named after a Welsh baron, one of a number who left their home country during the Industrial Revolution, due to the economic impact it had on rural communities.

Punta Arenas stands on the Strait of Magellan, close to the southern tip of South America. There is a real frontier town feel here amidst the grand and mountainous scenery of Chilean Patagonia.
Also well remembered here is explorer Ferdinand Magellan. Indeed, a statue of him stands in Plaza Muñoz Gamero, and rubbing the toe of one of the figures around the pedestal is said to bring good luck and calm waters for your onward voyage. Within the Museo Nao Victoria you can stand before a replica of his galleon that successfully sailed around the globe.

Standing almost on the halfway point of the country’s long coast, Puerto Montt is the gateway to Chile’s lake district, and can reveal stunning scenery as well as a rich German heritage.
Stepping ashore in Puerto Montt, named after a Chilean president, you may just feel like you’ve found some corner of Bavaria. The German influence here – found in the cakes, local beer and the gabled houses – is a legacy of settlers drawn to the Lake District 150 years ago.

Manta sits almost directly on the equator, roughly halfway up Ecuador’s Pacific shoreline. The area was home to at least seven different civilisations before the Spanish conquered the region in 1534.
While the Panama hat is known around the world, it is less common knowledge that they actually come from Ecuador. Montecristi is just a short hop inland from Manta, and it provides a fascinating insight into their manufacture.

The Azores rise from the Atlantic Ocean, 900 miles from the Portuguese coast. The largest city in the Azores, Ponta Delgada is on Sao Miguel and is named after the volcanic lands it sits proudly upon.
