Good news for everyone planning their big getaways for 2018. We’ve just added eleven more destinations to our Feel At Home Around the World list. In addition to the 60 countries we already had on board, we’ve added Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mayotte, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Uruguay and Vietnam. That means there’s now 71 possible destinations to use data roaming, and call and text back to the UK, at no extra cost.
Let’s take a little look at the newcomers, shall we?
Chile
Stretching down the west coast of South America, Chile is a one-stop spot for just about anything you’d like to see in the world. That’s including – but not limited to – world-class vineyards, the driest desert on earth, the Andes mountains, a 6,500km coastline, and no less than five UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Oh, and penguins.
Colombia
Moving north, Colombia sits right near the top of South America. It’s synonymous with coffee, so much so that you can pay a visit to many of the very places your morning cup might have originated from. There’s plenty of cities to stroll around – the capital city of Bogota among them. And if you’d rather venture further out, you’ll have no shortage of options, from Tayrona National Park to – if you’re feeling mythic – the Lost City of Teyuna.
Costa Rica
With over 800 miles of coastline and around 200 volcanoes, Costa Rica is a stunningly beautiful place to visit. And boasting over 25% of its territory protected as either a wildlife reserve or a national park, Costa Rica has a rich, unique ecosystem. Plus, it’s home to over 10% of the entire world’s species of butterfly. So fill yourself up with Gallo Pinto, grab a little Cafecito, and go get lost.
El Salvador
The smallest country in all of Central America, El Salvador punches above its weight in many ways. Firstly, it’s famous the world over for its surfing beaches. It also has the distinct honour of being home to four distinct species of sea turtles. And if you’re a food-lover, there’s few things in this world better than dipping a Pupusa into some freshly made spicy tomato sauce.
Guatemala
With over half of current Guatemalans descendant from the indigenous Mayans, Guatemala boasts a very long, very interesting history. And while there’s still some way to go for Guatemala, it’d be wrong to overlook its breathtaking Mayan ruins, its many active volcanoes (good to watch from a safe distance) and its deeply entrenched cultures.
Mayotte
A small set of islands in the Indian Ocean, Mayotte is a tropical hideaway with its own multitude of unique species, and a coral reef circling much of the main island has one of the largest lagoons in the world. Perfect for snorkelling, diving and relaxing.
Nicaragua
Situated between two oceans, Nicaragua gives you the rare opportunity, if you fancy it, of taking a morning dip in the Pacific Ocean, then hot-footing it across country in time for an evening swim in the Caribbean Sea. And with the highest percentage of forestry in all of Central America, it’s the perfect country for a long, long wander. And don’t worry about getting lost along the way – it’s also officially one of the safest countries in the southern hemisphere.
Panama
Among the many features that make it stand out from the crowd, Panama is unique in one particular respect – sit yourself down in its narrowest point, and you can watch the sun rise over the Pacific Ocean, and set over the Atlantic Ocean. In between times, you can bask in its tropical climate, check out the canal, or visit the only rainforest in the world located within a capital city.
Peru
Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places on Earth, Peru has far too many must-see locations to mention here. But as just a taster, while in Peru you can visit the highest sand dune in the world, Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake in the world, a Rainbow Mountain, arguably the beginning of the Amazon river in the Peruvian Andes, and Machu Picchu, nearly 8,000 feet above sea level, and one of the New Seven Wonders of the world. Peru really does have it all.
Uruguay
Commonly known as the most peaceful, democratic and prosperous country in Latin America, Uruguay is the perfect country for off-the-beaten-path and less touristy, more immersive experiences. Check out the Patria Gaucha (cowboy festival), take a dip in the thermal baths of Salto, and take a hot air balloon trip across its olive tree plantations. Uruguay is definitely one country for taking it slowly.
Vietnam
With a coastline stretching almost three and a half thousand kilometres, Vietnam has one heckuva lot of beaches. But if lounging in the sand ain’t your thing, you can always pay a visit to one of its (count ‘em) eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, or even take a little trip round Saigon on a Vespa. Still need convincing? It’s the home of the Bahn Mi and the Pho, either one of which is worth the price of the plane ticket alone.
