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.
