Featured Adventures
The Yucatán Peninsula is a land where turquoise waters meet ancient stone, where the echoes of Maya civilization still linger among temples, cenotes, and vibrant villages. It is a region filled with romance, culture, and a touch of mystery—yet also one of comfort and beauty, with boutique hideaways nestled in the jungle and along pristine beaches.
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.
Along the Salkantay trail, you will journey through varied terrain both challenging and awe-inspiring. Up-close views of glacier mountain peaks, mysterious fog surrounding fields of boulders, and cattle drives through the most remote of mountain areas are sights that will only enhance the spectacular topography, lush vegetation, and intriguing archaeological areas that you will encounter.
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.
This extended trip allows you to see five areas of Nicaragua with free time to explore on your own. Start with 3 nights in Leon where you will have one day of touring the city and nearby wildlife refuge and a full day to wander on your own. Then return to Managua and fly to Big Corn Island.
Experience the diversity of Colombia with this 17-day trip that covers some of our favorite areas in the region. Discover a Sunday in Bogota, where the streets are shut down to motorized vehicles and the whole city moves about on bike or foot enjoying various markets and arts, crafts, and fresh food stands, and, of course, the company of neighbors!

Upscale and sophisticated, Alta’s terracotta roofs and tall ceilings lend it a timeless European village charm, while La Luz Restaurant and Bar provides a relaxed setting for soaking up the views.
