Our Latin America Trips

We Offer Three Categories of Trips

The safaris, excursions, hikes, and adventures in Latin America are as varied as the landscapes that make them so exquisite. An adventure in this expansive continent is bound to take you to heights, depths and borders that exceed your imagination and leave its mark resounding deep inside.

FLEXIBLE TRIPS

Flexible Trips are truly our specialty and make up the majority of the work we do for our guests.

What, Where, When: A Flexible Trip combines your interests, desired destinations, travel dates and budget.  Typically, first-time visitors to a country or region are interested in seeing a wide sampling of the different options possible.  Guests returning on a second or subsequent visit may choose to see places they have not previously seen, or alternatively, they may wish to return to a favorite destination once again... either way, a flexible trip offers you versatility to make it the perfect trip for you.

Pricing: Our Flexible Trips can be tailored to suit your tastes and budget.

Group Size: Flexible Trips can be created for any number of guests from a single traveler to couples, families, groups or a combination of the above.


Exclusivity: Flexible Trips can be enhanced further by including private activities, private transfers and private guides. An exclusive-use vehicle means that you have added flexibility in terms of activities and daily schedules. A private guide that travels with you throughout adds great value to your experience.

Trip Ideas: To assist you in planning your Flexible Trip, we have created sample itineraries that offer suggestions for what to see, what to do, and how much time to spend in a destination. These sample itineraries are helpful as a planning tool and we invite you to browse them. If one of our Flexible Trips appeals to you, we will then tailor it for your dates, group size and budget.

SCHEDULED TRIPS

Scheduled Trips have pre-planned itineraries with fixed pricing, a fixed group size and pre-set travel dates. Most of our scheduled trips have multiple departure dates throughout the year.

Group size varies by trip but is generally in the range of 8-12 guests max. Most departures require a minimum number of sign-ups to operate, but some departures are guaranteed regardless of the number of guests signed up. All scheduled trips include a leader/guide who travels with the group.

PHOTOGRAPHY TRIPS

Photography Trips are uniquely-designed to offer photographers of all levels the best opportunities to capture the best images at the best times of the year in amazing destinations.

These trips are guided by experts and the focus is strongly geared towards spending as much time in the field making images as possible. The departure dates, group size and pricing are pre-set and availability is limited.
