7 ~~~ How to See the Most Spectacular Glaciers in Argentina's Los Glaciares National Park At a pair of luxury lodges in southern Argentina, explore the country's most stunning glaciers. The gusts of wind felt like invisible shoves. As my horse clomped along the northeastern face of Cerro Frías hill, I knee-gripped the saddle to stay upright, my leather chaps scratching against the thorny bushes that give the nearest resort town, El Calafate, its melodic name. Tawny grasses swayed in the breeze as we trotted, briskly, to a hilltop from where I could see the vast estancias of the Anita Valley to the south and the milky-blue Lago Argentino to the north. www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/adventure-travel/argentina-patagonia-el-chalten-lodge23 April 2022 |

11 ~~~ The Top 10 Cities in Central and South America This year's World's Best Awards survey was open for voting January 11 through May 10, 2021, as destinations around the world were lifting COVID-19 restrictions. Survey rules have always allowed readers to reflect on their travel experiences over a three-year period. We hope that this year's honorees will inspire your own travels as you get back out into the world. The natural environments and jaw-dropping archaeological sites of Central and South America hold massive appeal for good reason. After all, how many of us have included stepping into the ancient world of Machu Picchu or counting blue-footed boobies in the Galápagos on our list of dream itineraries? But the regions' urban centers captivate voters, too, with the best cities in Central and South America offering an exhilarating blend of modern culture, cross-cultural cuisine, and adventures of their own. Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated cities on their sights and landmarks, culture, cuisine, friendliness, shopping, and overall value. Colombia has two honorees, with Cartagena placing fifth and the capital, Bogotá, coming in at No. 7. In both destinations, readers appreciated the high energy, friendly residents, and superb dining. "The old walled-city part of Cartagena was wonderful," wrote one voter of the coastal Caribbean city. "The food is great, and there are many opportunities for shopping." Another reader encouraged fellow travelers not to miss Bogotá's historical La Candelaria neighborhood and the Museum of Gold. www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/cities-in-central-and-south-america8 September 2021 |

12 ~~~ The 10 Best Cities in Central and South America The best cities to visit in Central and South America, according to Travel + Leisure readers, are the ones in which new upscale hotels and innovative dining trends mix with Indigenous culture and centuries-old history. From the vibrant nightlife of Rio de Janeiro's Copacabana to the art galleries and historic architecture of Cuzco, the appeal of the best cities in Central and South America — according to Travel + Leisure readers — remains strong. In 2022, the reader-voted top 10 cities in this part of the world contained longtime favorites like Lima and Buenos Aires, but also interesting surprises, such as Montevideo (No. 10), Uruguay's coastal capital. Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Readers rated cities on their sights and landmarks, culture, cuisine, friendliness, shopping, and overall value. The high-altitude, disarmingly charming city of Cuzco, Peru, earned the No. 1 spot, while cities in Brazil, Colombia, and other destinations remain popular with T+L readers, too. São Paulo, with its collection of architectural marvels and recent luxury hotel additions, moved from No. 10 in 2021 to No. 4 this year. Brazil's other contender, Rio de Janeiro (No. 3), earned applause from travelers who loved exploring the city's music, food, and the posh shoreside neighborhoods of Leblon and Ipanema. Colombia's two top cities, unsurprisingly, are Bogotá (No. 9) and the UNESCO-protected Cartagena (No. 6). "I recommend staying in Cartagena's Old Town, in the Movich Hotel," one reader suggested. (The property has just 32 rooms and is well situated for exploring the city's ancient churches.) In Montevideo, Uruguay, another seaside star, readers loved stopping by the casual boliches, or small eateries often open late at night, that serve "the best beef asado dishes in South America, bar none." Find out which other destinations readers chose as the best cities in Central and South America below. www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/the-best-cities-in-central-and-south-america-202212 July 2022 |

13 ~~~ Where to Find the World's Longest Road The Pan-American Highway covers 19,000 miles. Bob Marley once sang that "life is one big road with lots of signs." If he was singing about the biggest, he must've meant the Pan-American Highway. Stretching from the frozen north of Alaska to the glacial tip of Argentina, the Pan-American Highway runs the most miles — or kilometers, if that's your thing — of any road on Earth. Beginning in Prudhoe Bay, or Sagavanirktok in Inuit, where caribou wander through Arctic air, the Pan-American Highway heads south to its unofficial end in Ushuaia, the capital of Argentina's Tierra del Fuego province. www.travelandleisure.com/trip-ideas/road-trips/worlds-longest-road17 April 2022 |

14 ~~~ The 10 Best City Hotels in Central and South America The best city hotels in Central and South America, according to Travel + Leisure readers, introduce travelers to local history, cuisine, and warm service. The multifaceted cultures and experiences of Central and South America hold a special appeal for travelers. As in past years, luxury resorts nestled amid bustling metropolises on the South American continent swept the category. Travel + Leisure readers voted for their favorite picks and applauded hotels' historic ties, central locations, and warm, welcoming service, from Buenos Aires to Guayaquil, Ecuador. Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L invites its readers to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels (including safari lodges) were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city or resort based on their locations and amenities. South America dominated the category this year, with three countries in particular earning praise from travelers. In Peru, Cuzco lays claim to both the No. 1 winner, Monasterio, A Belmond Hotel, and No. 5 JW Marriott El Convento Cusco, a boutique property in a restored 16th-century convent. Another Belmond property, Miraflores Park in Lima, earned the No. 6 spot. In Argentina, three urban hotels made the list. One voter called the No. 8 Alvear Palace Hotel in the capital city "the best place to stay in the country." Nearby, the Palacio Duhau – Park Hyatt Buenos Aires, which earned the No. 7 spot, curates exhibitions of contemporary Argentine art, from photography to sculptures, as well as Ibero-American works. www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/best-city-hotels-in-central-and-south-america-202212 July 2022 |

15 ~~~ The 5 Best Resorts in South America The best resorts in South America, according to Travel + Leisure readers, put the continent’s stunning archaeological sites and world-class wine regions at guests’ fingertips. When it comes to the best resorts in South America, it's tough to beat those found in Peru's Sacred Valley, according to Travel + Leisure readers. The region's spectacular landscapes, plus its proximity to Machu Picchu, helped earn it four out of 10 spots last year and two out of five this year. Argentina's wine country also enticed travelers, as did Brazil's Foz do Iguaçu, the gateway to the eponymous falls. Every year for our World's Best Awards survey, T+L asks readers to weigh in on travel experiences around the globe — to share their opinions on the top hotels, resorts, cities, islands, cruise ships, spas, airlines, and more. Hotels (including safari lodges) were rated on their facilities, location, service, food, and overall value. Properties were classified as city hotel, resort, or safari lodge based on their locations and amenities. At No. 4 is Sanctuary Lodge, A Belmond Hotel, the only hotel situated at the entrance to Machu Picchu. Its prime location gives guests the best chance of beating the crowds in the Lost City. One voter extolled its "incomparable location," as well as its "excellent service," while another mentioned that the experience was "beyond expectations." www.travelandleisure.com/worlds-best/best-resorts-in-south-america-202212 July 2022 |
