The traveler who chooses
one of our tours should be aware that we don't always take the
easiest way, and that he chooses the true adventure: a
face-to-face encounter with the new places and people!
However, for us, adventure does not rhyme with discomfort.
What is not luxurious is not therefore uncomfortable and what
is not easy is not therefore difficult. There's something
about our ways that makes it all go smooth! We travel in
harmony with the environment and the local communities and we
always try to bring with us a beneficial influence

Our guides are selected for
their knowledge of the areas (history, culture, people,
geography) and their ability to quickly find a solution to any
problem. They are appreciated for their leadership, their
knowledge, their friendliness and their obligingness. Every
guide working within our team is above all a responsible and
professional traveler who possesses the knowledge and
abilities required to assure you a pleasant, successful and
safe trip. |

Signification
of terms
Ecotourism Hiking is our preferred mode of
transportation to explore the reserves, sanctuaries and parks in
which we observe and study an environment, a fauna and a flora of
great interest. Specialized guides accompany us in certain regions
for a more complete immersion and understanding of the environment.
This type of journey, instructive and entertaining, brings us to
stay in all types of lodging facilities: from the comfortable hotel
in the city to the rustic refuge in the forest.
Eco-AdventureTours of discovery and exploration
offering the different aspects of all types of journeys in the same
program: geographic exploration, encounter with the cultures, visits
of archeological and historical sites, exploration of wildlife
reserves, sportive activities... Everything is gathered under the
same theme: Adventure! The type of lodging varies largely according
to the countries and the regions visited but the places where we
stay are always minutely selected for their warm hospitality, their
comfort and their unquestionable hygiene.
Hiking This type of particular journey addresses
to the experienced hikers or anyone in good physical shape wishing
to discover and explore a region on trails and paths through forests
and mountains. This type of journey is studied and set up to answer
the requirements of the most demanding walker. It's important to
verify the difficulty level of the journey before embarking! A part
of Ecotourism and/or cultural exploration can be integrated into
this type of dynamic journey. The type of lodging used varies
according to the route: from the city hotel to the forest or
mountain shelter or the tent under stars. But, everything is
provided for your comfort to be maximized!
Cultural Exploration of historical and
archaeological sites is the main activity during this type of
journey. The visits of sites and cities are mostly lead by
specialized guides or specialists in the field (archaeologists,
historians, architects...) to dive more deeply in the subject and,
as much as possible, expose all of its aspects allowing for the good
questions to bring the good answers. Without falling into luxury and
prestige, the comfort of our lodgings, in this type of journey, is '
beyond reproach'. We stay mostly in inns or hotels settled in former
colonial houses or stylish buildings and we are offered an excellent
and personalized service.
