The Best Private Trips to Book in the Americas
From the mystical cloud forests of Costa Rica to the glamorous beaches of Brazil, these immersive Culture Trips in South and Central America can all be booked as private tours for you and your favourite travel buddies.
There’s plenty of pros for going private. Obviously it means you can keep the guest-list locked down, but it also allows for far greater flexibility on travel dates, group sizes (minimum of 4) and even age requirements. Simply get in touch with our Travel Experts to organise your personalised Culture Trip adventure.
The Real Costa Rica
This Central American paradise is one of the most unique and biodiverse countries on the planet. Our eight-day tour takes in the volcanic landscapes of Arenal National Park, the mystical cloud forests of Monteverde and the laid-back surf vibes of the Pacific coastline. In Arenal you’ll soak in natural hot springs and spot sloths on a forest hike, while the highlands offer a rural lodge retreat, Costa Rican cooking class and a nighttime jungle hike in search of howler monkeys and pumas. We’ll wrap things up by chilling out in the seaside town of Tamarindo, where you can either keep the outdoor adventures going by surfing and mountain biking, or simply chill out on the town’s golden beaches.

Authentic Central Mexico
If culture, history and architecture is what you want from your cities, then Mexico is ready to offer you more than value for money. The central heartlands are dotted with gorgeous cities, characterised by their colourful collections of cobbled streets and colonial buildings. You’ll start in the capital, where you’ll visit Frida Kahlo’s home and take a boat tour down Xochimilco. You’ll visit the remarkable archeological sites of Teotihuacán and Tula en route to pretty Queretaro. Learn about the city’s crucial role in the independence movement before moving on to the Baroque town of San Miguel de Allende, where a cooking class and a thriving local art scene awaits. Get a taste for revolution in Dolores Hidalgo, a taste for fine wines at Cuna de Tierra vineyard and wrap up the trip with a visit to the beautiful city of Guanajuato.
