Have your taken advantage of visiting those 172+ countries and territories your US Passport grants you access to without a visa? What about those that require a visa plus your passport? Gaucho Getaways provides the reason to pack your suitcase and love for learning, use your passport, and to become enriched by the culture, history, and people across the globe. While only 37% of US Citizens own passports, North American and European citizens have the most freedom of where they travel with one.
Check out all our 2014 Gaucho Getaways departures or the just the featured trips in this email. Brochures and Reservation forms can be found on-line, or email us / call us at 805.893.4611. I hope to see you soon on a Gaucho Getaways!
