Featured Adventures

  • 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.

  • The journey begins in Georgetown, where the country’s colonial past and tropical present meet under the steady sway of giant rain trees. It’s an unexpectedly fitting prologue: Guyana’s capital places you on the edge of a landscape that grows wilder with every mile south. The time here is brief, but it serves as a transition point—a breath before the rainforest takes over the senses and the itinerary moves fully into nature’s domain.

  • Your eco-adventure begins with a river rafting trip down Costa Rica´s wildest and most scenic river. Get a different perspective of the rainforest as you literally fly through the canopy (a concept pioneered in Costa Rica)! Your certified naturalist guide will lead you as you venture into the highlands, to Arenal Volcano, whose steep conical slopes rise majestically out of the vast surrounding rainforest. After adventuring, a soak in the hot springs will feel wonderful.

  • Get ready to explore Argentina on this active adventure in Patagonia. Begin your trip exploring the capital city and ‘Paris of South America’ on a privately-guided tour.

  • The visually stunning W Trek – highlighting the best of Torres del Paine such as Grey Glacier, French Valley, and the Base of the Towers – is one of the World’s Classic Treks. You will be led by highly experienced and knowledgeable guides along spectacular trails, ending each day with spectacular sights, delicious meals, and comfortable nighttime accommodations.

  • The Colombian Intensive Tour begins in the bustling capital, Bogotá. Here, you’ll delve into the city’s rich history and vibrant art scene, from the unparalleled collection of pre-Hispanic gold artifacts at the world-famous “Museo Del Oro” to the vibrant street art adorning the historic La Candelaria district.
