I've been lucky to travel from a young age, always encouraged to get outdoors, explore new activities, and connect with local people. My adventures with university in the Galapagos and travels in Belize first sparked my love for Latin America, and I've been drawn back to this part of the world ever since.
I've since traveled extensively through Chile and Argentina, most recently spending four weeks exploring both countries through the Audley lens. From the desert to lake districts, lush rainforests of Iguazu to the mountains and glaciers of Patagonia, I'm always amazed by how much variety there is.
What I love most about these countries is that there’s something for everyone. Whether it's hiking through breathtaking landscapes, spotting wildlife, learning about local cultures, or simply enjoying incredible food and wine, there’s always something new to discover and experience.

Q&A with Becca
What's your most vivid travel moment?
Seeing the Perito Moreno Glacier up close was something I'll never forget. Nothing quite prepares you for the sheer scale of it. Towering walls of ice, deep crevices, and incredible shades of blue and white stretching to the top of the mountains. Just as I was about to start my glacier hike, an enormous section of ice broke away, roaring and crashing into the water below. Witnessing the sheer power of nature up close was breathtaking, it's a moment no photo or video could ever do justice.
What's the best local dish you've tasted?
It's almost impossible to choose just one. Empanadas are an obvious but firm favorite, and you'll find them everywhere, with each person putting their own twist on a classic snack. The Patagonian regions across Chile and Argentina also have some incredible local produce, from tender lamb and juicy steaks to fresh trout from the lakes. Pair it with a glass of Chilean Carmenere or Argentinian Malbec, and you really can't go wrong.
Your best piece of travel advice?
Pack for every eventuality, particularly in Chile and Argentina, where you can experience everything from scorching deserts to snowy mountains all in one trip. I'd recommend packing everything from swimwear and sunglasses to warm layers and waterproof clothing. You can guarantee an incredible adventure, but you can't always guarantee the weather. My biggest tip is to invest in a comfortable pair of walking boots. Whether you're hiking through Patagonia or exploring a new city, you'll spend lots of time on your feet, and good footwear makes all the difference.
