Cruise through Havana in a classic car or stroll along the famous seafront to get a glimpse of this lovely city’s faded grandeur.

Here you can take your pick of 20km of white sandy beaches. Let us arrange a sleek skippered catamaran to skim you over the waves.

If you simply want a taste of the island and are short on time, then it’s possible to visit Havana to get a feel for the place, enjoy Viñales and finish up on a quiet unspoilt beach to unwind. However, it’s definitely worth spending longer in Cuba to discover more about this unique country that’s more than twice the size of Switzerland. Driving is the easiest way to get around, so if you’re adventurous you can drive yourself, or let us arrange a car and driver for you.

The city of spires certainly inspires you to explore every fascinating corner, from the Old Town Square across the Charles Bridge to Prague Castle.
Visit Prague with us

From the renowned National Gallery to modern street works, Prague is one of Europe’s art capitals. How about a private viewing in Lobkowicz Castle?

The Czech rail network is one of densest in the world (it’s similar to Switzerland levels), so getting around by train is a great way to see the country. The fall of the Iron Curtain led to both the rail and road networks being modernised, with links to neighbouring countries vastly improved. Prague is deservedly popular but with Cosa you can escape to other delights, such as impressive Karlstejn Castle or the spas of Karlovy Vary.

Of the many luxury hotels in Marrakech, only one is fit for a king, possibly because it’s owned by the king. Every superlative you can think of applies to the Royal Mansour Hotel, including private pools, personal butlers, manicured gardens and an opulent spa. You won’t regret spending a single second here. Ready to check in?

Marrakech might be an oasis but it’s surrounded by acres of emptiness waiting for you to explore. Stay overnight in a tented camp with only stars and silence for company. Experience sunrise over the High Atlas mountains in a hot-air balloon or take a camel ride through the Agafay desert. Simply unforgettable.

A jeep safari is a good way to explore this lovely island with visits to its hidden coves and wonderful beaches. Discover wild landscapes and swim in clear blue waters. Head off to the island’s clubs and restaurants at night for the famous Mykonos party vibe. Sounds good? Ask us for more details.

With its olive groves, lush green interior and dreamy beaches Naxos is truly wonderful. Here you can hike through mountainous villages to reach towering Mount Zeus, the highest point in the Cyclades. Or stay down at sea level and cruise around the island, stopping to snorkel, sunbathe and feast on freshly-caught calamari at a waterside taverna.

Serengeti means ‘endless plains’ in the Maasai language. Watching the wildebeest make their journey across these plains is a truly majestic spectacle.

At 5895m Kilimanjaro is Africa’s highest mountain. Hike through five ecological climate zones, and make an alpine start to reach the summit for sunrise.

Tanzania has many wonderful national parks and offers a variety of ways to experience the wildlife: by jeep, hiking or in a hot-air balloon. Cosa can help you choose when and where to go, and how to see animals and birds close up. If you would like to learn more about Maasai customs or stay near the Mahale Mountains, just ask us. To complement your safari, you could climb up to snow-capped Kilimanjaro or simply relax on sandy beaches.

Clap your hands at Chichen Itza, and you’ll hear the echo of the quetzl bird, testament to the engineering of this ancient Mayan site.
Come with us to the Yucatan Peninsula

The Pyramid of the Sun in Teotihuacan remains an enigma for archaeologists. As you wander around it in awe, maybe you can solve the mystery.

Mexico has a population of around 130 million people, plus many deserts, mountains, canyons, jungles and 35 Unesco World Heritage sites. So where should you start your travels? Just ask Cosa. If you’re interested in archaeology, history, culture or cuisine, we know the perfect places. We’ll show you other delights, such as the pretty colonial town of Taxco, famous for its silver jewellery. On the Pacific coast, Puerto Vallarta has lovely beaches and is also a bird-lover’s paradise. Multi-coloured of course!

Naqsh-e Jhan is both stunningly beautiful and incredibly large, at almost nine hectares in area. With magnificent mosques and gorgeous gardens, it’s a must-see.

The Iranian capital bustles with a busy café culture. Our tip: try some of the delicate Persian pastries along with a cup of tea.

Once you arrive in Iran, you’ll encounter friendly people ready to chat, and a country with a rich heritage and history. A reminder that in Iran, women are required to wear a headscarf, whilst men should not wear shorts. Talk to us about the best time of year to visit the main destinations to avoid the searing heat or the winter cold! It’s possible to take a luxury train trip on your Iranian journey, ask us for details.

Walk through a narrow gorge and you’ll be rewarded with the magnificent sight of Petra. This rock-hewn city was re-discovered in 1812 by a Swiss!

See the blend of old and new buildings in the capital, Amman, or maybe learn how to cook authentic Jordanian cuisine in a private class.

This country has a rich heritage, with a modern side. Amman buzzes with contemporary restaurants and boutiques. The country’s size means that the iconic highlights can be combined into a shortish trip; but it’s worth staying longer to discover more. Ask us about taking a trail to the Dana Biosphere Reserve, or a resort on the Dead Sea. Note: trails operate year-round except during Ramadan. Cosa, of course, will advise you on the optimum time to travel.

The rainforests of Costa Rica are bursting with life from spider monkeys and red-eyed tree frogs to sloths and macaws. Have your camera ready.

Costa Rica has some divine beaches, like those at Papagayo and Manuel Antonio, whether you want to swim or surf or simply relax.

Although it’s a small country (much the same size as Switzerland), getting around on public transport is challenging. After arriving in the capital, San José, you’ll probably need to take internal flights and/or hire a 4WD as the roads can be terrible. Travel is harder in the wet season (May to November) so we recommend avoiding it if possible. Ecotourism is popular and successful in Costa Rica so ask us about the best eco-lodges, wildlife spotting, rainforest tours and sustainable travel.

The scenery of the Canadian Rocky Mountains is nothing short of spectacular. High peaks, glittering lakes and superb national parks like Banff, Jasper and Yoho.
Hit the Rockies road with us

The sensational trip from Vancouver up to Alaska is a cruise like no other, with whale watching, glacier spotting, crab eating and simply relaxing.

Once you realise that Canada is over 5,500km from east to west, you understand how challenging domestic travel can be. But vast parts of the country are empty, with 90% of the population living within 160km of the US border, making it possible to see many highlights quite easily. Whether it’s Niagara Falls or Nova Scotia, lovely Vancouver or historic Quebec, we can create the perfect Canadian trip for you. By plane, by train, by car or even by boat, all of Canada is waiting to be discovered.
