Can You Fly to Antarctica and Skip the Drake Passage?

Rebecca Deering

Director of Sales

Rebecca Deering arrived in Argentina in 2008 looking for an adventure and found it in the city of Buenos Aires. She lived there until 2014 and during this time had the opportunity to travel extensively through South America. She married her Argentine husband, Felix, in 2016 so she considers Argentina to be her adopted home country. She continues to explore new places and cultures within South America and the world. She has spent time in Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Antarctica, Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil. Her favorite areas of South America (so far) are the Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador, Colca Canyon in Peru, Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia, the Atacama desert in Chile, Los Glacieres National Park in Argentina, Jose Ignacio in Uruguay, Ouro Preto in Brazil and Parque Tayrona in Colombia. She also has done two 9-day fly-cruises in Antarctica. Still on her bucket list is Paraguay, the Pantanal Wetlands and Easter Island. Rebecca currently resides in Austin, Texas and travels between all of SouthAmerica.travel's offices.

When she’s not traveling to South America, she enjoys perusing vintage shops, reading true crime books and spending time at the lake with her dog, son and husband.
