No problem! We have designed group departure dates with a maximum of 8 travelers to ensure an intimate and authentic experience. If you prefer, we can also coordinate a departure based on your schedule and publish it on our website so others can join.
Our pricing policy is based on double occupancy, so if you are traveling alone, you must be willing to share a room or tent with someone of the same gender. If you prefer more privacy, we offer the option of a single room, although this may vary depending on the program and is subject to an additional supplement.
Additionally, we offer self-guided tours where we take care of all the logistics—transportation, meals, and accommodation—so you can focus on fully enjoying your adventure. Ready for your next journey?
