ANAHEIM, Jan. 23, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Those seeking to explore North, South and Central America can look to Trafalgar, the award-winning guided vacations company, for effortless travel and great Early Payment savings up to $1,070 per couple off trips booked by January 31, 2014. Offering 64 perfectly-planned vacations in USA, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Colombia, each trip takes travelers beyond the expected with unique Insider Experiences.
Exploring our own backyard is more popular than ever with record travelers making the trek to America's great National Parks on the best-selling 14-day Scenic Parks Explorer and 10 other trips featuring these natural wonders.
