February 4 – 17, 2018
Be amazed at the extraordinary places of Latin America
Dear Friends,
We are delighted to present to you our Latin America by VIP Private Jet Journey for 2018. Begin in Mexico’s
Riviera Maya, on the Yucatan Peninsula. Enjoy uncovering the mysteries at Chichen Itza, a UNESCO World
Heritage Site, and the ancient Mayan city of Tulum. Next become immersed in a land seemingly lost in time,
Cuba, visiting another UNESCO World Heritage Site of Old Havana, and cruise through the streets in Classic
American Cars. From there, head south to the entrance of South America, landing in Cartagena where
additional UNESCO sites await your arrival. The sites are endless as we fly to our last destination with yet
another UNESCO site in Panama.
From indigenous tribal beginnings to Spanish Colonization, amble through ancient ruins, observe a juxtaposition
of architecture, visit modern museums and art galleries, and become inspired at the extraordinary places that
are all part of our America. All the while, enjoy the comfort of luxury hotels and our VIP Private Jet custom-fitted
with posh interiors and spacious leather club seats. All this and much more…
Please join us.
Heidi Lakani, President
FEEL THE DIFFERENCE
Step aboard your Private Jet and immediately feel the
spacious comfort of your home in the sky, a huge departure
from the perception that private jets are small and somewhat
cramped. Stand up, walk about, and stretch out as often as
you wish. Your wellbeing is of our utmost importance.
KNOW THE DIFFERENCE
Be reassured in knowing that the beautifully decked
out super mid-sized jet has a capacity of 40 or more
passengers, but it has been totally reconfigured for no more
than 14 travelers in luxurious leather club seats.
FLY THE DIFFERENCE
Immerse yourself in a distinct air travel experience aboard
a totally dedicated luxury jet for your journey. Imagine
you can store your excess luggage aboard until you need
it. Appreciate the distinguishable difference from other
“regional” jets.

awaits your arrival.

buildings such as Palace of Justice, Colombian Congress, the
Mayor’s Office, and the Primary Cathedral of Bogota. In the
center of the plaza is a statue of Simon Bolivar, founder of
Colombian independence. Colombia’s rich cultural heritage
has been cultivated by a population descending from native
inhabitants, Spanish colonists, Africans, and immigrants from
Europe and the Middle East. This is evident in its art and music.
Colombia’s most famous artist, Fernando Botero, has received
international acclaim and many of his works are housed in the
Botero Museum in La Candelaria. Lose yourself in Botero’s

Raft, referring to the ceremony of the legend of El Dorado that it
