Proud Sponsors of Picaflor House

The importance of giving back to local communities is fundamental to our company mission. We also think that It is especially important to help those that are most vulnerable in the community.

ETHICAL CONSCIENCE - DOING THE RIGHT THING

Our company ethos is bound in a sustainable local approach to our travel experiences which inherently flows out to the broader good of our wider planet. The core focus of our efforts to truly make an impact and working for example with projects like Picaflor House and Medlife who offer life-changing support in Latin America. What matters here are the fundamental needs of existence.

VISION STATEMENT

We believe that travel is essential to our understanding of the planet we live on and the eclectic mix of people that live upon it. We know that Latin America offers many unique opportunities for deep and meaningful travel experiences, and we want to help connect our clients with the best that Latin America has to offer. We want to showcase the essence of each destination, by developing rewarding and meaningful trips that connect the visitor with Mother-Nature, local people, the history, and the gastronomy. We want to grow to be the best (not the biggest) provider of experiential travel in Latin America and create a trusted name for ourselves which is synonymous with quality, service and experiences. We are concerned about the environmental consequences that travel imposes on our planet, and we will actively engage in projects which will have a long lasting impact on improving the environment. We also realize the irony of selling high-value trips into impoverished Latin American countries for the enjoyment of foreign visitors. Therefore, it is our vision to actively use the proceeds of the money generated in a positive way to help improve the lives of those that live on the continent. It is our vision and responsibility to take travel in a new direction, where travel nourishes the soul, broadens the mind and has a positive change on visitor and the visited.
