A Cure for the Common Winter

Dear Traveler,

Michelle Muench Regional Manager Photo

While the temperatures throughout much of the U.S. are still hitting the upper 80s, thoughts of a warm-weather getaway may be the last thing on our minds. But consider this: in a few short months, we'll be looking at things from a different point of view—snowbound, rain-bound, cabin-feverish and maybe even a bit winter-bluesy. Now's the time to take preventative measures.

There's nothing like a dose of travel therapy for boosting immunity against the cold-weather blahs. Our recommendation: a week of biking, hiking and other fun activities in a tropical paradise—perhaps exotic Panama or incredible Costa Rica. Add blue skies and warm waves. Lush jungle and wildlife galore. Under our care you're certain to feel refreshed, reenergized and filled with enough sunshine to last well into spring.

Or consider some of our other unforgettable winter getaways to Peru, Ecuador & Galápagos, the Lake District of Argentina or Patagonia.

But don't delay: once these summer temps start to drop, our winter escapes will fill up quickly—and much earlier for holiday dates. We encourage you to lock in your reservations now and start looking forward to beating those winter blues!

	It's never too early to start thinking about a winter vacation that will banish those wintertime blues and rank as your most memorable getaway ever.

		Panama Imagine the rosy glow you'll have after a hike to a viewpoint overlooking the Gulf of Chiriquí or an afternoon spent snorkeling and basking on the beach on Isla Gamez. Learning about the Panama Canal and visiting an indigenous Emberá community? Good for your brain and heart! And finally, you'll enjoy a great night's sleep at unique retreats in stunning settings.

		Costa Rica The winter blues have a way of melting away when you're paddling a kayak on beautiful blue waters or swinging in a hammock with a cool drink. Walk, hike and bike your way through the country's most spectacular landscapes and feel your spirits lift. Witnessing the playful antics of the mono cara blanca, Costa Rica's exuberant white-faced monkey, or watching a blue morpho butterfly glide through the forest? We think it's some of the best medicine around! Costa Rica Biking itinerary Costa Rica Multisport itinerary Costa Rica Walking itinerary
