MARIA KOZACHUK
CENTRAL & SOUTH AMERICA
DESTINATION SPECIALIST
Captivated by history and cultural traditions since childhood, I channelled my passion for discovering the world into an International Relations degree. However, after deciding against a career as a diplomat, I have focused more on helping my clients travel around the world and making sure that their trips are customized and fitted to the smallest details of their needs and expectations, no matter what the journey is—whether a 3-month-long voyage around South America or a multi-generational get-together to celebrate an 80th birthday of a beloved grandmother. I also believe that food and the stories behind traditional cuisine are delicious ways to experience new destinations. That is why in every country that I visit I try to take a culinary tour or a cooking lesson. There is a lot of history behind local food and why not learn about it while enjoying some delicious samples?

Chiloe Island, Chile
Central & South America
From the very first time I saw this island on a ferry from the Chilean mainland, I knew that it was magical. It somehow insprires you to simply observe nature and be tranquil. Enjoy delicious bowls of the local dish curanto and also be sure to grab a bike to explore every corner of the island.

Bariloche, Argentina
Central & South America
The postcard view of this Argentine town is visible everywhere. It'll make you want to stay here forever (or at least a week). The gorgeous hotel Llao Llao is not only a historical landmark, but a destination it its own right. It has amazing views, delicious dining, and incredible choices of activities for guests.

Rome, Italy
UK Europe
Indulge in food, history, and art in every corner of this city. And remember: Rome is three thousand years old. Take your time when exploring it and definitely dedicate at least one day of your trip to simply wandering around the historical core of Rome, discovering your own favorite places at each new turn.

Galapagos Islands
Central & South America
It is not enough to say that the Galpagos Islands is a special place to visit. I truly believe it is a life-changing place. To see animals that are so untouched and unfearful (such as multiple sea lions and iguanas) yet protected is very humbling. Also, not having Wi-Fi on a cruise is perfect for family bonding.
