Karen Chapman

I fell in love with Latin America whilst spending the third year of my degree living, studying and working in Ecuador, then backpacking through Central America. After leaving university, I volunteered as an interpreter on a Raleigh International Expedition in Chilean Patagonia and travelled further afield into Peru and Brazil. I then went on to work as a tour leader in Latin America, before starting my career as a travel consultant, more than 20 years ago. I love discovering new and exciting places and experiences, and then sharing my passion by crafting bespoke adventures to the many corners of this amazing continent and beyond.

Argentina and Uruguay

This was my first-time visiting Uruguay, and I was seduced by its sweeping countryside, wild beaches, charming people and delicious food and wine. It is also home to unique luxury properties, such as Estancia Vik and Sacramonte Wine Lodge, so you can explore the country in real comfort and style. My journey then took me to northwest Argentina, a region so different from the rest of the country, with its stunning, colourful rock formations and gorges, beautiful handcrafted textiles and some of the highest vineyards in the world.
