Vacation information

Small group budget tour, ideal for solos or couples:
This is one of our budget trips, designed specifically for travelers who still want the security of group travel without lots of added inclusions. These trips don't have many included activities & meals are rarely included in the price, giving you the opportunity to search out local restaurants and sample regional specialities to your heart's content. The amount of free time in these itineraries means that these trips often appeal to younger travelers looking to explore independently and tailor the trip to your own interests. You often won't spend too many days in any one place and you'll pack lots of different locations into your vacation.

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?


Copan Mayan ruins, Antigua, Monteverde cloud forest.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?


Make sure you read the trip details well in advance - info regarding the visa required for Brits to enter Honduras is buried in there. It can take at least three weeks and needs a trip to London. Be prepared for a lot of travel.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?


To some extent.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?


Some great moments, but I was left with a feeling that the operator are cutting costs.

Responsible Travel

Planet

CARBON REDUCTION

This trip utilises all means of public transport, keeping our carbon emissions low.

ENVIRONMENT AND WILDLIFE

We just can't get enough of the Amazon, not only as a jaw-dropping travel destination but also as a global treasure and this trip will help to ensure that the incredibly Amazon Rainforest is here for us to enjoy for generations to come! Our Amazon Fund will help support on the ground projects by the Foundation's long time partners Greenpeace and WWF. By booking your Latin American adventure with us you're helping us work towards a sustainable future for the Amazon.

Our local guides help us minimise the impact of our visits, spreading knowledge and awareness of the importance of preserving and respecting the sites we visit.



People

LOCAL ECONOMY

Your leader and the occasional local guide will be able to direct you to many local eateries throughout the trip, helping you discover real local fare at real local prices (and probably helping you learn some Spanish at the same time). All travelers are encouraged to explore with the group and on their own, learn a few words of the language and interact with the locals as much as possible.

There are plenty of opportunities to support local merchants in the markets and stalls that we pass along the way. We can purchase traditional handicrafts from local artisans and learn more about the importance of preserving these crafts.

EMPLOYMENT, INCLUSIVITY AND DIVERSITY

Local guides are employed to help explain as much as possible about the cultural differences and the historically significant places that we visit.
