LatinAirTravel.com is the latest addition to the Latin Travel Publishing Group. The print version of Latin Travel Magazine was founded in 1966 to promote travel to Central and South America's largely undiscovered travel destinations.


The magazine moved to the Internet in 1995 and has expanded it's scope to include specialized sites for Latin wineries, Latin cruising and now, Latin air travel.
