South and Central America are made for couples who want their honeymoon to feel extraordinary — think glacier hikes in Patagonia, island-hopping adventures in the Galapagos, wildlife encounters in the Amazon, and boutique eco-lodges hidden deep in the rainforest.
From sipping Malbec beneath the Andes to paddleboarding next to sea turtles, these are our favourite honeymoon experiences for couples seeking something truly different.
Our top picks for a Latin America honeymoon include a glass-capsule stay above Patagonia, private-yacht exploration of the Galapagos, and a rainforest lodge honeymoon in Costa Rica — with tailor-made trips starting from £3,500 per person.

At Travel Differently, we create tailor-made honeymoons across South and Central America for couples who want adventure, authenticity and luxury in equal measure. Every trip is designed around you, with meaningful experiences, responsible travel principles and unforgettable places to stay.
These are our 9 Best Honeymoons to Latin America:
1. Sleep in a Glass Capsule Above Patagonia
Best for: Adventurous couples searching for one of the best honeymoons to South America
When to travel: September – May
Patagonia delivers drama on an epic scale. Imagine waking up suspended above the Patagonian wilderness in your own glass capsule overlooking Mount Fitz Roy. Hidden high in the cliffs of Argentine Patagonia, these futuristic sky pods combine thrilling adventure with complete privacy and luxury.
Your journey begins with a scenic hike through ancient forest and a Via Ferrata climb before arriving at your extraordinary lodge. Champagne awaits, alongside panoramic mountain views and total silence except for the wind across the peaks.
This experience is perfect for couples who want a honeymoon that feels genuinely unique — remote, adventurous and wildly romantic.
Pair this with glacier trekking, estancia stays, wine tasting and hiking in Torres del Paine for the ultimate Patagonia honeymoon adventure.
Speak to our experts about including a stay at OVO Patagonia as part of our Patagonia Highlights Holiday, 16 days from £4,185 per person.
2. Raft Into Your Luxury Jungle Lodge in Costa Rica
Best for: If your idea of romance includes rainforest waterfalls, wildlife and adrenaline-fueled adventures
When to travel: November – August
Costa Rica is one of the best honeymoon destinations in South America and Central America combined. At the award-winning Pacuare Lodge, your honeymoon begins with a white-water rafting journey straight into the property. No roads, no crowds — just rainforest, rivers and nature.
Spend your days zip-lining through jungle canopy, canyoning beside waterfalls, hiking with naturalist guides or simply relaxing in your private villa surrounded by the sounds of the forest. For honeymooners, the secluded Canopy Villa offers complete privacy, while private dining high above the jungle floor creates unforgettable moments beneath the stars.
Sustainability is woven into every part of the experience, making this a perfect choice for couples wanting a responsible luxury honeymoon.
Scarlett, our Costa Rica specialist, says: “Arriving at Pacuare by raft rather than road sets the tone for the whole honeymoon — you leave the outside world behind before you’ve even checked in. It’s one of the only lodge arrivals I’d genuinely call an experience in itself.”
Raft into your honeymoon on our Pure Luxury Costa Rica Honeymoon, 15 days from £9,047 per person.
3. Explore the Galapagos by Private Yacht
Best for: Couples wanting adventure with exclusivity
When to travel: Year round
The Galapagos Islands offer one of the world’s most extraordinary wildlife experiences — and one of the best honeymoons to South America for couples wanting adventure with exclusivity.
Most visitors explore the islands by expedition cruise, but we love creating more immersive island-hopping honeymoons. Staying overnight on the islands allows you to experience local life, quieter beaches and incredible wildlife encounters long after day-trippers leave. Snorkel with sea lions, paddleboard alongside marine iguanas, spot giant tortoises in the wild and enjoy sunset cocktails on empty beaches.
For an extra-special honeymoon touch, charter a fully crewed private yacht for the day. Sail between volcanic islands, swim directly from the yacht and enjoy champagne lunches surrounded by one of the planet’s most unique ecosystems.
Sam, our founder and Galapagos expert, says: “The moment you swap a fixed cruise itinerary for your own private yacht, the whole trip changes. You’re not sharing a sunset with other passengers — it’s just the two of you and the volcanoes.”
Choose to honeymoon in the Galapagos on our Galapagos Cruise and Private Island-Hopping Holiday, 10 days from £6,550 per person.
4. Coffee, Caribbean Beaches and Culture in Colombia
Best for: Couples wanting vibrant culture and beautiful scenery without the crowds
When to travel: Year round
Colombia is quickly becoming one of the best honeymoon destinations in South America and this is a honeymoon filled with contrasts: colourful colonial towns, rooftop cocktail bars, lush coffee plantations and remote Caribbean beaches.
Explore Medellín and Cartagena with expert local guides, discover Colombia’s thriving food scene and spend time in the coffee region tasting some of the finest coffee in the world. For adventure lovers, Tayrona National Park combines jungle hikes, hidden beaches and incredible biodiversity, while boutique eco-lodges offer peaceful escapes along the coast.
Colombia is ideal for couples wanting an exciting, stylish and off-the-beaten-track honeymoon. Discover our Colombia Honeymoon, 14 days from £3,850 per person.
5. A Brazil Honeymoon of Rainforest, Waterfalls and Beaches
Best for: Couples wanting variety and unforgettable experiences
When to travel: Year round
Brazil offers one of the most diverse honeymoon experiences in South America. One day you’re kayaking through the Amazon rainforest searching for wildlife. The next, you’re standing beside the thunderous Iguazu Falls before ending your trip sipping caipirinhas on a white-sand beach.
Our tailor-made Brazil honeymoons combine adventure, culture and relaxation seamlessly. Explore Rio de Janeiro with its iconic scenery and infectious energy, experience the wildlife of the Pantanal or Amazon, and unwind along Brazil’s spectacular coastline.
For couples wanting variety and unforgettable experiences, Brazil delivers it all.
Sinead, our Latin America and wildlife specialist, says: “Brazil is the one destination I recommend when a couple can’t agree on what kind of honeymoon they want. One of you wants wildlife, the other wants a beach — Brazil just says yes to both.”
Speak to our Brazil experts about our incredible Brazil Honeymoon, 15 days from £3,500 per person.
6. Patagonia for Active Honeymoon Adventures
Best for: Couples who would rather hike glaciers than sit by a pool
When to travel: September – May
Patagonia offers some of the most adventurous honeymoons. This is a honeymoon built around epic landscapes and outdoor adventure. Hike beneath the granite towers of Torres del Paine, trek across glaciers, ride horseback through remote estancias and track pumas with expert naturalist guides.
Alongside the adventure comes exceptional food, boutique lodges and world-class wines from Chile and Argentina.
One of our favourite moments? Hiking to Laguna Capri with a bottle of local wine to watch Mount Fitz Roy glow pink at sunset.
Our Patagonia Honeymoon is wild, remote and unforgettable. 16 days from £4,685 per person.
7. Luxury Peru and Machu Picchu
Best for: Couples wanting iconic experiences done properly
When to travel: March – December
Peru combines adventure, culture and luxury effortlessly, making it one of the best honeymoon destinations in South America. Stay in beautifully restored boutique hotels in Lima and Cusco, explore the Sacred Valley with expert local guides and travel to Machu Picchu aboard a luxury train through the Andes.
For something even more special, combine your honeymoon with a luxury Amazon river cruise or remote lodge stay deep within the rainforest.
Peru offers the perfect balance of cultural discovery, comfort and adventure.
Sam, our founder and Peru specialist, says: “Machu Picchu gets the headlines, but it’s the Sacred Valley in between that I always tell honeymooners not to rush. Give yourselves the extra day or so — the pace changes everything.”
Choose Peru for your Honeymoon, speak to our experts about our Luxury Peru Adventure. 14 days from £6,500 per person.
8. Jaguar Spotting in Brazil’s Pantanal
Best for: Wildlife lovers
When to travel: March – November
For couples who love wildlife, few experiences compare to spotting jaguars in the wild.
Our Brazil wildlife honeymoons combine the Pantanal — the world’s best place to see jaguars — with the Amazon rainforest, hidden waterfalls and the vibrant energy of Rio de Janeiro.
Stay in award-winning eco-lodges, explore by boat and kayak, hike through untouched wilderness and experience one of South America’s greatest wildlife adventures together. It’s a honeymoon designed for couples who want something bold, immersive and completely unforgettable.
I’ve guided couples to the Pantanal who came for the jaguars and left saying the quiet moments — drifting past caiman at sunrise, just the two of you and your guide — were what they’ll remember most. It’s not a conventional honeymoon, but for the right couple it’s unforgettable.

9. Ruins, Rainforests and Reefs in Guatemala and Belize
Best for: Couples wanting culture, adventure and laid-back beaches
When to travel: November – August
For couples wanting something really different and real, Guatemala and Belize create the perfect Central America honeymoon.
Wander Antigua’s cobbled streets, discover traditional Maya villages around Lake Atitlán and experience the extraordinary ruins of Tikal at sunrise before the crowds arrive.
Then cross into Belize for jungle adventures, boutique lodges and time to unwind beside the world’s second-largest barrier reef. Snorkelling, island-hopping and barefoot luxury make this an incredible option for couples seeking a slower, more meaningful honeymoon experience.
Sinead, our Central America specialist, says: “Tikal at sunrise, before the tour groups arrive, is one of those moments that stays with couples long after the honeymoon ends. Pairing it with a few slow days on the reef in Belize gives the trip a perfect rhythm — culture first, then time to just be together.”
Explore our Ruins Rainforests and Reefs Central America Holiday, 15 days from £4,015 per person.
