Featured Adventures

  • Arequipa is Peru's second largest city and was founded in 1540. The buildings in the center have been built almost exclusively of the volcanic material called 'sillar,' a white, porous rock, giving Arequipa its nickname of 'The White City'. The place is tranquil yet delightful, all set in a rich green valley at the foot of the mighty El Misti Volcano.

  • After two full days exploring the colonial town of Antigua you will venture off-the-beaten-path with your private guide to remote towns and markets throughout the country. You will stay in the towns of Quetzaltenango and Huehuetenango with day trips to the agricultural towns of Almolonga and Zunil, the thermal springs at Fuentes Georginas, San Andres Xecul, Sacapulas and Aguacatan.

  • Big Cats in the Shadow of the Famous Spires of Torres del Paine: “The Most Spectacular National Park in the World” “Pumaland” at Torres del Paine is a 200-square-kilometer tract of rolling, grassy hills that is the only place in the world where Pumas can be seen on a guaranteed basis. These cats are visible thanks to decades of protection from hunting combined with a uniquely-high density of their favorite prey, guanacos and hares.

  • Discover the heart of Central America on a romantic and historic journey through Nicaragua. This specially curated itinerary blends the rich, colonial heritage of Granada with the serene natural beauty of the Pacific coast, offering a perfect escape for couples seeking both adventure and relaxation.

  • Welcome to an adventure unlike any other, where time seems to slow down and the wonders of the natural world take center stage. This isn’t just a trip; it’s a journey into the heart of a living laboratory—the magnificent Galápagos Islands. Prepare to be captivated by a world where evolution is on full display and unique wildlife roams without fear.

  • For the first week you will experience the highland jungle from two locations: one eco-lodge on the Macal River adjacent to the Mountain Pine Ridge Forest Reserve; the other on the banks of Caves Branch River next to Blue Hole National Park. The two locations compliment each other with excursions and activities from different ecosystems.
