AmazonExperience …
Everyone knows that the lungs of our planet – home to more species of plants, birds and mammals than anywhere in the world – hold the key to our survival, but few have floated through this region’s labyrinthine waterways or climbed high into its canopy, laced with liana vines, bromeliads and flashes of iridescent plumage. Welcome to nature with the volume, dimensions and colour turned up to the max.
Memorable …
Spanning eight different countries, the Amazon is twice the size of India and thought to be home to 10% of all known species on earth, with new discoveries added to the list every day. The Amazon region is made up of several different ecosystems each with their own unique flora and fauna, such as terra firma, várzea forest, campinarana, and even highland forests and the unique rocky tepui plateaux on the borders of Venezuela and Guyana. Our itineraries are as diverse as the region itself and can take you birdwatching high in the canopy with a PhD researcher, on indigenous-led cultural and adventure focused expeditions in remote corners of Brazil’s indigenous territories (including climbing Brazil’s highest mountain, Pico da Neblina, with Yanomami guides), gentle riverboat trips on the picturesque Tapajós, or luxury small boat cruises in the Peruvian Amazon.
Price Range: Seasonally; an all inclusive itinerary (w/out international flights) $8,000 per person for a seven-night itinerary.

UruguayExperience …
Tranquil coastal towns, chic beach getaways, lazy lunches, and cutting-edge wineries. The smallest country in South America, and the only one entirely outside of the tropics, Uruguay is one of the most liberal and progressive countries in the world, it has an even more laid-back culture than its popular neighbours. Its beaches are idyllic, its wineries sleeker and more under-the-radar, and its crumbly colonial towns quieter and more understated.
Memorable …
Rent a stylish beach villa or sleek inland ranch for the ultimate house party, spending New Year’s Eve with the international jet set in Jose Ignacio, the “Hamptons” of South America. Rent a vintage car and make your own adventure on a coastal road trip from the wine regions in the west, via Punta del Este’s “riviera” to the hippy villages and windswept beaches on the border with Brazil. Uruguay is one versatile jewel, whether you seek unspoiled coastline or cool but under the radar beach clubs, boutique hotels designed by eccentric artists; saddling up for a horse ride with a gaucho or a polo clinic with South America’s finest; or simply just enjoying some of South America’s best, but least pretentious cuisine. It’s the perfect destination both for a lover’s jaunt or a relaxed family holiday, and everything in between!
Price Range: Seasonally; an all inclusive itinerary (w/out international flights) $3,000 per person for a five-night itinerary.

Galapagos IslandsExperience …
The Galapagos is an archipelago of 19 volcanic rock islands, isolated from the Ecuadorean mainland by over 1000 km, where nature had remained untouched by human intervention for millions of years. Due to its unique natural circumstances, this is the only place on earth that you can find unique species such as the giant land tortoises and marine iguanas, and due to the lack of native predators, the animals are naturally relaxed in the presence of humans.
Memorable …
We can design Galapagos itineraries for every taste – whether it’s island hopping by light aircraft to stay in luxury camps, small boat group cruises, specialist diving expeditions, or perhaps the ultimate Galapagos vacation – a private superyacht charter. We work with the only superyacht operating in the islands, a 38-foot yacht with 7 luxury staterooms to sleep up to 14 people. A total refit in 2021 means the yacht boasts luxurious living space – the spacious aft deck is perfect for al-fresco dining, and where better to enjoy one of the on-board mixologists signature cocktails than relaxing in the top deck jacuzzi after a day exploring. Expert biologist guides and insider access permits to some of the more remote spots in the archipelago allow for a fully immersive nature experience, available to no one else on the planet.
Price Range: Seasonally; an all inclusive itinerary (w/out international flights) $165,000 total for an all-inclusive five-day super yacht private charter, not including flights, alcoholic drinks, or park entry fees.

PeruExperience …
Machu Picchu is perhaps the ultimate bucket list destination. A panoramic view of the Inca citadel with its lofty peaks and scattered ruins set against the light-dappled magnificence of the Sacred Valley is enough to tick the box for trip-of-a-lifetime. However there is so much more to explore in this megadiverse country. Stretching from tropical Pacific shores in the west to the Amazonian tributaries in the east is the best birdwatching on the planet (20% of the world’s entire species), snow-peaked mountains, cloud forests, and the twists and turns of high Andean plains, not to mention South America’s best fine dining experiences.
Memorable …
If you’re going to make a pilgrimage to one of the seven wonders of the world, an expert guide makes all the difference. We’ll grant you unfettered access and work with expert archaeologists and researchers, not just in Machu Picchu but at the many other stunning (and hardly visited) historical sites throughout the country. Take a tour of Lima’s food markets and enjoy a cooking masterclass with one of the country’s top Michelin starred chefs; visit artists ateliers and enjoy private access to museums and galleries; learn to surf or kitesurf on deserted Pacific beaches; take part in a weaving workshop in a remote Andean village – our itineraries always aim to combine authentic cultural experiences, knowledgeable but relaxed guiding, and, of course, top quality lodging and cuisine.
Price Range: Seasonally; an all inclusive itinerary (w/out international flights) $8,000 per person for a six-night itinerary.

ColombiaExperience …
“It’s ludicrous this place exists, and everybody doesn’t want to live here,” Anthony Bourdain once said about Colombia. Flanked by two oceans and covering almost every climate zone from high Andean peaks to Amazon rainforest, means this country is unusually blessed with a full complement of verdant landscapes and an incredible biodiversity. Confectionary-hued cities, coffee plantations, magical Caribbean hideaways, and modern cities buzzing with creativity, are just a small taster of what Colombia has to offer.
Memorable …
Relax on virgin beaches with powdery white sand and turquoise water, visit the jade green hills of the coffee triangle, take in icy peaks, high-altitude lakes and the wildlife rich Los Llanos wetlands, dubbed the ‘Serengeti of South America.’ Take a salsa class, followed by a premium rum tasting session and a fine dining menu brimming with fresh ingredients and tropical flavours in historical Cartagena, then head off by helicopter down the coast over the ruins of the “Lost City” before landing for an impromptu picnic on a remote beach.
Price Range: Seasonally; an all inclusive itinerary (w/out international flights) $5,000 per person for a seven-night itinerary.
