ADVENTURE & ACTIVITY HOLIDAYS
Feel the rush of your own adventure
Adventure is something that’s measured in different ways by different people. By the very nature of travel in Latin America, all of our journeys will have an element of adventure.
We’ve got unlimited ideas and the best resources with our guides on the ground allowing us to offer some pretty amazing things and from the first consultation we take the time to find out what it is our clients are looking for.
Here’s a few ideas (of trips we’ve actually arranged) to get those creative juices flowing.
Everyone’s heard of the Inca trail that winds its way up to Machu Picchu but we can also arrange trekking around other trails that have just the same amount of ruins, spectacular scenery and you won’t see anyone else for days.
Saddle up and gallop through the grasslands of Argentina with gauchos herding cattle and listening to folklore.
How about mountain biking down the slopes of a volcano, rafting down the Amazon river or surfing on deserted beaches? For the really extreme we can even fly you into the interior of the Antarctic to ski down mountains untouched by others. The choices really are endless.
Whatever it is you’re looking for, we can organize it
Bears & Birds of the Andes
Ecuador is rich in wildlife, including the spectacled bear, also known as the Andean bear. We have found a spot where they eat, rest and climb trees. We’ve studied their habits to help lucky travellers see them. We know where they hang out, ensuring the best chances to watch and photograph these playful animals. To complement this, a trip to the Mindo Choco Bio-Region offers a unique chance to see amazing tropical birds from toucans to cock-of-the-rock.

Back on the mainland, visit Santiago, the port of Valparaiso, and wine valleys. In the Atacama, see otherworldly landscapes. Be amazed by steaming-hot geysers, timeless lunar valleys, highland lagoons, volcanoes, and some of the most spectacular night skies on the planet.
