It is to offer quality travel services at a fair price. Because we care about customer service and client satisfaction, we do not strive to be the cheapest tour operator to our destinations. On the other hand, because of the type of marketing we do and long-term, international business relationships, you will find we are far from the most expensive tour provider. Our area of travel expertise is tours to select destinations in Latin America for individuals, couples, and groups. We do not attempt to provide travel throughout the world, rather focus on specific areas for which we can provide first-hand knowledge.Our most popular tours have been to Peru, (mostly for the Amazon and Cuzco area), Costa Rica, and throughout the Maya World of Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and Honduras. We also organize group travel to Panama and Ecuador, including the Galapagos Islands.Most of our tour itineraries highlight both the natural world and local cultures. However for private groups, we tailor itineraries to suit particular interests, with travel specializing in ornithology, botany, archaeology, culinary, adventure, sport-fishing, volunteerism, ecology, sustainability, educational curriculums, research field schools, service learning, alumni and other affinity group trips, etc.Some of the features and aspects that make our explorations such a great travel value include: Knowledgeable and professional guides!
