Featured Adventures

  • Across Central and South America, wellness experiences are deeply connected to the natural environment, creating a sense of place that is difficult to replicate elsewhere.

  • Your Costa Rican adventure begins in the vibrant heart of San José, where the historic charm of Hotel Grano De Oro welcomes you. This isn’t just a hotel; it’s a beautifully preserved piece of history, a turn-of-the-century mansion renovated to provide every modern comfort while retaining its soul. Step inside and let the traditional Latin American elegance envelop you. Unique rooms, decorated with local watercolors and handcrafted furniture, whisper stories of the past.

  • Discover the fabled island of Tierra del Fuego and cruise the wild and beautiful Fuegian Archipelago on this adventurous six-night journey by land and sea across the bottom of Patagonia.

  • A true expedition, our Weddell Sea cruise sets out to explore the range of the Emperor Penguins near Snow Hill Island. We will visit the area via helicopter and see a variety of other birds and penguins including Adélies and Gentoos.
