Editor’s Note

The new year is just a couple of weeks away, and you may already be thinking about where you want to travel in 2026 (and you should be, as it’s already time to book international flights for early 2026 trips). Today, we have two stellar choices for you if you love history, outdoor adventure and gorgeous natural landscapes.

We found economy flights to both Peru and Colombia starting at 12,000 points or miles one-way. The flight is short enough that we recommend saving your points or miles by flying in economy, but we also found business-class pricing for as few as 25,000 points or miles each way.

Note: Prices and availability were accurate at the time of writing.
