Featured Adventures

  • Journey to a land where ancient history collides with modern marvels, and breathtaking natural beauty unfolds at every turn. This is Panama, a country of staggering contrasts, where you can stand in awe of a 21st-century engineering feat one day and immerse yourself in the rich traditions of an indigenous community the next.

  • This tour of Ecuador focuses on natural history: the Andean highlands, Amazon rainforest and the Galapagos Islands. From Quito you will spend the day in Cotopaxi National Park, located on the high Paramo and home to the “highest active snowcapped volcano on earth” (19,314 ft.).

  • Walk through the Dientes de Navarino massif at the far end of South America, trekking along rural roads through and alongside forests, peat bogs, valleys, ponds, lakes, and rivers.

  • You will be met at the Belize Int’l Airport and transferred to your luxury eco-lodge set to coexist with nature and a true jungle experience. The result is an exquisite blend of natural beauty and man-made comforts. From your base here you can explore the forests, caves and rivers, Mayan ruins on your own or on guided excursions.

  • Start your trip in magnificent Rio de Janeiro. A full-day tour of Rio includes a tram to the top of Corcovado Mountain and the famous statue of Christ the Redeemer, followed by a cable-car to the top of Sugarloaf Mountain, a visit the Sambodromo (where Carnival takes place). One day will be spent at leisure at the legendary beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema or on an optional day trip hiking and relaxing on the tropical island of Ilha Grande, or a day trip to the colonial town of Paraty.

  • The SouthWild Reserve covers 3,025 hectares (7,467 acres), making it the largest privately-owned Jaguar conservation area on the Three Brothers River, the most Jaguar-rich watershed in the world. This reserve also includes 100% of the neighboring, Jaguar-packed "Black Channel" ("Corixo Negro" in Portuguese}, a locality that appears on many online Jaguar reports.

  • Tierra Viva Hotel Cusco Centro in Cusco, Peru maintains the feeling of an antique residence built with stone, tiles, adobe and wood. Tierra Viva has restored the residence belonging to the Velasco Ordoñez family in order to open a hotel with 43 rooms distributed between three floors.

  • Laguna Lodge is an eco-touristic lodge, located in Tortuguero in the northern Caribbean of Costa Rica.
