The Gorgeted Woodstar is a tiny hummingbird, measuring around 6 cm long and weighing just 2.5 grams
It is native to South America, particularly Colombia and Ecuador.

#LatinAmerica is incredibly biodiverse & these extraordinary images captured in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Costa Rica & Ecuador on display at Wildlife Photographer of the Year at @NHM_London give a glimpse of the region's wild wonders:

This year I got to show Sara Borja from @sacha_lodge in the Ecuadorian Amazon my interview with #birding expert Oscar Tapuy in @wanderlustmag:

Very sad to hear of the passing of Geoffrey Chesler, a kind & gifted editor who gently coaxed me through the research and writing of five @CultureSmart guides.
Hugely curious & engaging, his reassuring voice will be sadly missed 😓

🚨After a decade of research from the Atacama to Tierra del Fuego, I’m delighted to say my new book #SmallEarthquakes is published today.
Blending travel writing, history and reportage, it uncovers the fascinating story of Britain’s forgotten connections with South America.

#Ecuador - the birthplace of cacao - pushed the boat out in London with a chocolate & wine pairing session on a narrowboat. Guests tried premium Ecuadorian chocolate from Hacienda San Jose & @CardenasChoc with wines from Bodega Dos Hemisferios @VinosDelEcuador!

Fab to see @travwriters at the @latauk #LATAExpo2025 travel trade show, focussed exclusively on Latin America.
#Ecuador knows how to party & the closing fiesta, with Ecuadorian folk dancers from UK-based #GrupoWarmis, was a celebration of all that is great about this Andean gem.

#LATAExpo, the biggest #traveltrade event in Europe dedicated to #LatinAmerica will soon open its doors again at the beautiful @devereofficial in Windsor.
Last year, #Ecuador provided a magical night of food, music & a dancing cuy!
Great to see @CATA_AgenciaCA will be there too!
#LATAExpo's Gala Dinner hosted by @latauk & @TurismoEc took us to the Andes with the arrival of #WarmisUK, a London-based folk group who keep their ancestral Ecuadorian traditions alive through music & dance. They even had a giant cuy (guinea pig)! .

For a younger me, the Peruvian novelist Mario Vargas Llosa opened a wondrous - if gritty - window into Latin America that made me want to climb in & soak it all up.
In all these years, the wonder hasn't waned.
QEPD maestro!

@EmbraturBrasil & @VBRATAUK brought reps from all 9 of the Northeast states for a roadshow at the @BrazilEmbassyUK to shine a light on this attraction-packed region.
Now I need to explore Maranhão, Piauí, Ceará, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, Sergipe & Bahia!
