The World’s Only Luxury Tours by Private Jet
2018 LATIN AMERICA by VIP PRIVATE JET 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.

Lakani’s Dine by Choice One of the most thrilling aspects of travel is the opportunity to taste the local flavors of each destination. This is why Lakani includes the exclusive Dine by Choice meal program in each private jet journey. This feature gives you flexibility and a way to personalize your traveling experience. Dine where, when and with whom you choose. If you fancy a quiet evening in the comfort of your luxury hotel room, then order room service. Wander down to one of the dining options located in your hotel. But for those who want to experience the local specialties and ambience of the city, journey outside your hotel to the restaurant of your choice. And don’t forget to seek the help of your tour manager who will assist you with suggestions and reservations.

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 recognizable “oversized” paintings and sculpture. Tour the Presidential Palace, then ascend to the summit of Monserrate, and capture a panoramic view of Bogota and beyond.
