Featured Adventures

  • The Guiana Shield is a 1.7 billion-year-old Precambrian geological formation in northeast South America and is one of the regions of highest biodiversity in the world. The Shield has 1400 vertebrate species and 1680 bird species. The Shield is overlain by the largest expanse of undisturbed tropical rain forest in the world. Join us as we explore Guyana and Suriname.

  • Step into a land where ancient pyramids rise from jungle floors, cenotes shimmer like hidden jewels, and colonial cities pulse with vibrant culture. This nine-day journey through Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula is a celebration of history, nature, and warm hospitality. From the moment you arrive in Cancun, the region’s tropical rhythm invites you to slow down, explore deeply, and embrace the richness of Maya heritage and contemporary charm.

  • From your arrival in La Paz, the high altiplano awaits. Fly to Uyuni and spend several days exploring the World’s largest salt flats. Here you will pass volcanoes and visit high-altitude lakes and the only places where you can spot three species of pink South American flamingo: the Chilean, Andean and rare James’s flamingos.
