winter Is the 4UtdA otcloCAA A"A
pleasure travel in South America,
according to Richard Kurtz, man
ager of the travel bureau of the
Union Trust Company. Below the
equator our seasons are reversed,
he said, and you will meet with
the best climatic conditions, delight
full weather and sunshine.
The great continent Of South
America with its distinctive attrac-
lions increases in popularity with
travellers year by year. Nowhere IN
the world is there scenery Of such
varied charm, combined with so
perfect a climate.
South America has become the
adventure of the age-it is the
place to see. More than any other
continent. it is a land of contrasts,
where YOU will meet the extremes
Of scenery and civilization. For the
American traveller who wishes to
escape the cold northern winter
climate. there is no finer trip to be
had than the South American trip.
Good Climate Assured
MANY Americans are Of the be
lief that the South American sum-
mer dec. 81 to March 20) is eX-
tremely warm. This is not true.
For example. New York or Indian
apolis during July and August will
experience much warmer weather
than the South American will dur
ing February or March
"The west coast" added Kurtz,
contrary to what many travellers
have heard, is most delightful dur
ing January and February. From
the Panama Canal to Valparaiso,
Chile. the west coast is famed by
the cool breezes from the antarctic
stream of the Humboldt current.
Therefore, the voyage down the
west coast is always a surprise to
the traveller, not only from the
standpoint of agreeable and COM
Portable weather, but also from the
standpoint of interest.
"Thirty-six hours after leaving
New York there is a delightful
change in the weather and the rest
full days aboard one of the newest
and finest ships sailing the west
coast of South America will be
greatly enjoyed. Days of sunshine,
calm seas, cool evenings-cOmbine
with the activities aboard ship, deck
games. dancing, sports, swimming,
the Father Neptune celebration
when crossing the equator. all go to
make the voyage from New York to
Valparaiso, Chile, an unusual and
interesting one"
