I'll be on @BBCRadio4 @BBCFooC this morning at 11.30 talking about seeing rare and elusive rainforest birds in Ecuador... bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qjl…

@latauk's #LATAExpo is the biggest travel trade event in the UK focussed on #LatinAmerica.
This year I got to show Sara Borja from @sacha_lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon my interview with #birding expert Oscar Tapuy in @wanderlustmag:

#Quito restaurants also made it into
@TheWorlds50Best Latin America 2025!
Steak restaurant Tributo is at 68 and Clara in Mariscal Sucre is at 60, with more Ecuadorian restaurants expected to make it into the 50 Best announced tomorrow:

#VisitEcuador
More #CentralAmerican restaurants made it into the @TheWorlds50Best Restaurants in Latin America 2025, so it is only fitting that the colonial, volcano-ringed city of Antigua in #Guatemala will host the awards ceremony on 2 December
The List - 51 to 100: theworlds50best.com/latiname…

Very sad to hear of the passing of Geoffrey Chesler, a kind & gifted editor who gently coaxed me through the research and writing of five @CultureSmart guides.
Hugely curious & engaging, his reassuring voice will be sadly missed 😓

🚨After a decade of research from the Atacama to Tierra del Fuego, I’m delighted to say my new book #SmallEarthquakes is published today.
Blending travel writing, history and reportage, it uncovers the fascinating story of Britain’s forgotten connections with South America.

#Ecuador - the birthplace of cacao - pushed the boat out in London with a chocolate & wine pairing session on a narrowboat. Guests tried premium Ecuadorian chocolate from Hacienda San Jose & @CardenasChoc with wines from Bodega Dos Hemisferios @VinosDelEcuador!

Fab to see @travwriters at the @latauk #LATAExpo2025 travel trade show, focussed exclusively on Latin America.
#Ecuador knows how to party & the closing fiesta, with Ecuadorian folk dancers from UK-based #GrupoWarmis, was a celebration of all that is great about this Andean gem.

#Ecuador's Andean capital #Quito unveiled its new #citybrand at #LATAExpo2025
Inspired by:
- Sun sign petroglyphs from the Yumbo site of Tulipe
- 3 circles representing 0° 0 minutes 0 seconds as Quito sits on the Equator
- Peaked flourish of the u and i symbolizes mountain peaks

#LATAExpo, the biggest #traveltrade event in Europe dedicated to #LatinAmerica will soon open its doors again at the beautiful @devereofficial in Windsor.
Last year, #Ecuador provided a magical night of food, music & a dancing cuy!
Great to see @CATA_AgenciaCA will be there too!
#LATAExpo's Gala Dinner hosted by @latauk & @TurismoEc took us to the Andes with the arrival of #WarmisUK, a London-based folk group who keep their ancestral Ecuadorian traditions alive through music & dance. They even had a giant cuy (guinea pig)! .

For a younger me, the Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa opened a wondrous - if gritty - window into Latin America that made me want to climb in & soak it all up.
In all these years, the wonder hasn't waned.
QEPD maestro!

@EmbraturBrasil & @VBRATAUK brought reps from all 9 of the Northeast states for a roadshow at the @BrazilEmbassyUK to shine a light on this attraction-packed region.
Now I need to explore Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe & Bahia!
