Featured Adventures
Step into the heart of the ancient world on a journey through Mexico and Guatemala, where monumental ruins rise from the jungle and vibrant traditions echo the legacy of the great Meso-American civilizations. This itinerary blends discovery with comfort, weaving together archaeological wonders, rich cultural encounters, and handpicked boutique stays.
Experience Peru by Land and Water: the Inca capital of Cusco, the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, and inside the Amazon jungle for 14D/13N Starting at $4725 per person. This grand Peruvian experience combines two of the world’s premier destinations: Machu Picchu and the Amazon rainforest.
One idea when we designed this trip is to have a surprise element in each destination—whether it’s a romantic dinner under the stars, a chilled bottle of champagne waiting in your room, or a couple’s spa treatment surrounded by nature. These touches are thoughtfully placed to make each moment feel special and spontaneous.
This is Nicaragua on a more active trip. You will hike in the cloudforest around the extinct crater of a volcano, fly down the slopes on a canopy zipline, hike into an active volcano at night, tour colonial Granada by bicycle, kayak on Lake Nicaragua, go horseback riding in the far north of Nicaragua, climb an active volcano and sandboard back down the slope.
The journey begins in Georgetown, where the country’s colonial past and tropical present meet under the steady sway of giant rain trees. It’s an unexpectedly fitting prologue: Guyana’s capital places you on the edge of a landscape that grows wilder with every mile south. The time here is brief, but it serves as a transition point—a breath before the rainforest takes over the senses and the itinerary moves fully into nature’s domain.
