Where to go in February

February

Patagonia continues to shine for trekking before the chill of autumn sets in and Costa Rica is sunny and dry, perfect for jungle hikes and Pacific coast surfing. In Ecuador, the Amazon is lush and teeming with wildlife, and it’s a fantastic time to see the marine iguanas changing colours in Galápagos. February is also the month for celebrations, with Colombia’s Barranquilla Carnival, one of the biggest in Latin America, bursting into life and of course, the infamous Rio Carnival taking over the streets in Brazil.
