Travellers in Toronto looking to escape the upcoming winter will have even more options for exploring South America thanks to a new route that's being launched by Air Transat. The Montreal-headquartered airline is introducing a twice-weekly service between Toronto Pearson Airport to Medellín, Colombia, with a stopover in Cartagena. "This expansion is in line with our strategy of targeted growth from Toronto, focusing on high-potential markets such as Colombia." Earlier this month, Air Canada also unveiled its winter sun schedule, which included South America destinations like Brazil and Colombia. The airline's new additions include a Toronto to Rio de Janeiro route, a Toronto to Cartagena route, as well as new routes from Toronto to Pointe-à-Pitre, a city on the island of Grande-Terre in Guadeloupe, and Toronto to Guadalajara, a city in western Mexico.
