Active Adventure Trip Ideas


Accommodations

Photos of South America

Active itineraries include suggested accommodations that are clean and comfortable while being smaller, often locally owned places with a relaxed feel and good service that blend in to their surroundings. They typically are less luxurious than Classic trips suggested hotels, falling in the ‘3 star plus’ category. When selecting from the hundreds we’ve inspected, for Active itineraries we choose places that are great values for the service.

As a specialist in custom and private South American travel, we are happy to discuss hotel upgrades and options in every category and price range in order that your trip is perfect for you.
