Featured Adventures

  • Allow us to assist with planning a travel itinerary that will combine the best of both worlds in the most seamless way. Choose your desired length of stay at each destination, Ian Anderson's Caves Branch Jungle Lodge in the Cayo District and Victoria House on Ambergris Caye, and we’ll customize the package to best suit you.

  • The Northwest of Argentina encompasses half of the history of the country and remains off-the-beaten tourist track. From the Incas and other local cultures, to the Spanish domain, the native population and its lifestyle are a vivid example of the strong impact of history.

  • You will be picked up in the morning by your private guide to embark on a half day tour through some of Lima's main colonial sites: The Cathedral, "Plaza de Armas" (main square), Government and Archbishop's Palaces, and Torre Tagle Palace.

  • Spend 8 days touring the highlights of El Salvador. El Salvador Highlights is a thoughtfully curated journey designed by Lost World Adventures to showcase the country’s most captivating destinations in one seamless itinerary. This tour blends cultural immersion, archaeological discovery, natural beauty, and coastal relaxation—ideal for travelers seeking a comprehensive yet flexible experience.

  • Start your high-end wilderness adventure in the Falklands Islands and South Georgia. Feeling more like private yachts than cruise ships, small expedition vessels give you privileged access to the islands of the South Atlantic, taking you where larger ships cannot. With a smaller number of passengers, disembarkation is fast and efficient so you spend time exploring, not waiting.

  • First visit the Nazca Lines. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994. Scholars believe the Nazca Lines were created by the Nazca culture between 400 and 650 AD. The hundreds of individual figures range in complexity from simple lines to stylized hummingbirds, spiders, monkeys, fish, sharks, orcas, llamas, and lizards.

Featured Hotels

  • Laguna Lodge is an eco-touristic lodge, located in Tortuguero in the northern Caribbean of Costa Rica. The area has amazing rivers, lakes and wetlands that shelter a lush jungle of primary forests and exotic plants. The lodge is built on a narrow strip of land, 650 feet wide, between Tortuguero´s main lagoon and the Caribbean Sea.

  • Where the ultimate luxury getaway meets comfort, style, nature and the pinnacle of personalized service, Cala Luna Boutique Hotel & Villas is your destination for relaxation and adventure in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Your vacation in Costa Rica is meant to be an escape from the everyday, a getaway from stress and to-do lists.

  • The Casa Andina Select Arequipa Plaza is the third Casa Andina chain hotel in Arequipa, Peru. With a excellent location, opposite the main square (Plaza de Armas) in the historic center of the city, it is the ideal place to experience a great view of the cathedral.

  • Set in a private nature reserve spread over 1,000 acres of Central America’s last remaining lowland tropical rainforest in the wild Osa Peninsula, Costa Rica - Lapa Rios Lodge is paradise for wildlife, nature and beach lovers. The 17 private bungalows line three ridges overlooking the pristine point where the Golfo Dulce meets the Pacific Ocean.

  • Casa Andina Select Chiclayo offers guests an excellent location. It’s just minutes away from downtown Chiclayo, Peru and the airport. The Casa Andina Select Chiclayo is strategically located as it is only 20 minutes away from the Royal Tombs of Sipan.

  • Tortuga Village Hotel is located in Costa del Sol on El Salvador's Pacific coast, 45 minutes by car from San Salvador and only 25 minutes from the International Airport. It is a boutique hotel for those who want to be in contact with nature, enjoy an exclusive atmosphere, taste excellent seafood and spend a pleasant time with family.
