Travel that is more deeply connected to a place, we believe, is all about how local citizens in destination countries have the power to unlock special experiences. When we go about stitching together a privately guided tour of the Peruvian Amazon and a culinary tour of Lima City’s Michelin-rated restaurants, it is our network of trusted local relationships that is the bedrock on which we craft our innovative, award-winning travel itineraries. If you’re thinking about 

visiting any of our destination countries, reach out and start a conversation. Tell us what your ideal trip might include – we can choreograph private adventures to WOW your group; special live musical experiences for audiophiles and those who love to dance; we can deliver high calibre art and culinary experiences; and in a number of countries we are friends with wise indigenous peoples who may just change how you see the world and our shared human story.

What is Sustainable Travel and How is it Part of our Journeys?

Since the onset of COVID-19, the phrase ‘new normal’ is getting a lot of use and for good reason. Much has changed across the globe, and the travel industry has been hugely affected. This includes all the people on-the-ground in destination countries that normally rely on making an income from travellers. The language of ‘new normal’ highlights our need to adapt. This is, after all, what humans have done for millennia: adapting. The meaningful difference now is that adapting is more than just “going with the flow”: it carries the potential to choose with intention. If we choose to be aware and informed, we can decide how to shape travel for the better. (continued below)

We're Your Travel Concierge

We seek to exceed client expectations. No detail is too small. From upscale accommodations and food to the guides chosen for you, all our partners exemplify a high-end approach to customer service. So, what are you after – local rhythms and culture? Trekking in remote places? Rare birds? Let us stitch together a masterful itinerary with seamless travel connections.

Authenticity & Privacy

Choreographing authentic experiences means knowing places exceedingly well and building trust with local partners. Wonderful characters and local guides bring alive their world through stories, deep knowledge, and special access to places. This is why we believe in private travel experiences: they offer the flexibility to take you to areas not visited by most tourists.

CRAFTING YOUR CUSTOM JOURNEY

Our Story?

A MESSAGE FROM ERIC SHEETS, FOUNDER
In Spring 2004, then a corporate-world warrior, I decided to bring some colleagues to the Galapagos Islands for an adventure in Darwin’s archipelago. My Ecuadorian mother instilled in me a deep love and appreciation for the islands, so this adventure to the Galapagos was a chance to share my insider knowledge with fellow travellers. The success of that first trip left me yearning for more … and I set out on a path combining insider knowledge of places with the transformative power of travel. Latin Excursions was born. 15+ years later, we continue to have fun sharing our connections and insider knowledge of Latin America.

Travel ought to be

transformative.

Eye-opening.

Human. 

Local.

The stuff of great stories.
