Fifteen+ years ago, it hit us that our decades of travel in Central and South America, with all the discoveries and local connections we?d made, represented something very special: a framework for crafting off-the-beaten-path travel experiences packed with authentic moments and local characters.

This is what travel ought to be. Transformative. Human. Local. The stuff of great stories.

We?re experts because we know these places and love these places. Whether you’re imagining a stylish nature adventure or an exotic family reunion, whether you have a thousand ideas or aren’t sure where to start, the Latin Excursions team can craft a completely custom experience. Or guide you to the right Pre-designed Journey.

South America is truly a land of riches ? from astounding landscapes that are a testament to nature?s power, to the charming culture and energy of its peoples, to a storied history that stretches to 9000 B.C.

You have to see these places to believe them. Ride horses through Patagonia?s sweeping grasslands punctuated by uniquely shaped mountain peaks. Further north, near the center

of the continent, the Amazon jungle elbows up against the magnificent Andes mountain range. It?s a place of sound, color and energy: the chance to see leopards on the prowl at dusk, cascading waterfalls ?that tumble impossible heights, and verdant valleys that house the architectural ghosts of ancient civilizations. Meanwhile, cities and towns enchant even the most traveled of urbanites. For city-lovers, we can choreograph a delightful urban mix of world-renowned cuisine, architecture, music, and UNESCO world heritage sights.

To get a feel for a place?s beating heart, there is no substitute for seeing it through the eyes of its people. This is where Latin Excursions shines: we?ve nurtured relationships with wise locals in all our destinations: veteran guides, whimsical story-tellers, and folks who can decode local culture and explain their land?s great wonders.

Great stories have a way of unfolding when you?re in the right place at the right time. Catching a glimpse of the intrepid, noctural tree-dweller, the kinkajou, is no small feat. Similarly, if you?re into music or cuisine, you may want insider info on cherished local musicians or the hottest chefs.

There?s much that goes into choreographing legendary travel experiences for our clients. Our greatest assets, though, are our local partners who so proudly share their land?s secrets.

“We are home but still have Colombia on our minds

What an extraordinary journey to a country filled with culture, art, a fantastic landscape, and incredible people. In Bogota, our visit to the Gold Museum and Botero Gallery were taken to the next level by the knowledge of each individual guide. We learned, we ate, we laughed. Chef Meli, who took us on a food tour, and Abraham, who did our rum and coffee tasting, were also excellent. Thank you so much to Eric and his team—especially Nils—for planning and executing such a fulfilling, joyous, and interesting itinerary.”
