Featured Adventures

  • The cuisine and culinary traditions of the Ancient Mayans were diverse and extensive. The Mayans were hunters, fishers and used their own gardens to grow their food supply. Their most traditional dishes use a variety of ingredients. Their largest crop production was maize (corn). Cacao, another principle crop, was used in a sacred drink and also as an exchange unit in its grain form. The Spanish colonization brought change to the region.

  • Journey to Argentina for a self-driving road trip in southern Patagonia from the Atlantic coast to the Andes and back. The circuit begins at the airport in Comodoro Rivadavia and travels for 17 days along classic Patagonian paved and gravel roads with suggested stops en route. Overnight accommodations are arranged at comfortable lodges and remote estancias.

  • Experience the cultural side of Colombia and outdoor adventures in the Andes on this 13-day town & country trip. Discover Bogota by day and by night - history and culture, museums and theaters, markets and restaurants.

  • Costa Rica rewards curiosity with color and life at every turn, and this journey with Lost World Adventures traces its living rhythms from cloud forest to coast. Your trip begins near San José, where the Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Plantation sets the tone for the week—an immersion in sustainability, local flavor, and warm hospitality. From the slopes overlooking the Central Valley, the landscape rolls outward in deep green folds of coffee and canopy, inviting exploration.

  • Across the northern shoulder of South America lies a region few travelers truly know: the Guianas. Defined by rivers, rainforest, and centuries of cultural blending, Suriname, French Guiana, and Guyana form a trio of destinations that defy easy comparison. On this journey designed by Lost World Adventures, you’ll explore three distinct countries linked by geography but shaped by entirely different languages, traditions, and histories.

  • From majestic mountain views, to natural wonders and cityscapes, this tour through Bolivia and Chile is sure to be unforgettable. You will visit some of the most famous landmarks in Bolivia, like Yungas Road (also called “Death Road”) where you are sure to be awestruck by the lush rainforest and mountainside scenery, and travel to the Salar de Uyuni, where it’s had to tell where the earth ends and the sky begins.
