These are 5 top reccommended places to travel in South and Central America for Summer 2011.

1. Cusco.  July and August is peak season for this heritage city. Peru is in it's driest months so no possibility of a landslide.We would recommend 10 days travelling to peru with 7 of those days in Cusco which will incorporate the Inca Trail.

2. Tortuguero. Turtle laying season is round the corner. One of natures finest moments. On the shores of Tortuguero you will be able to find hundreds ot Turtles laying their eggs. 7 day trip to Costa Rica will incorporate San Jose, Tortuguero and Arenal.

3. Galapagos Islands. These islands are right on the equator so temperatures all year round are good however August is a month with less rain. One week cruise to discover all the islands will be an experience of a lifetime. Prices are increasing and numbers are getting restricted so This should be a must in the near future.

4. Puerto Maldonado. The Amazon of Peru is fantastic all year round but Peru is well known for the number of birds it is home to. Just a short flight away from Lima.

5. Copacabana in Rio. All year round the place never goes quite and is always buzzing. Rio something for everyone, you will not be short of things to do.
