It was an amazing adventure. Was anxious about travelling in a group but got on really well with everyone. Enjoyed going out for meals with everyone and having a guide to point out what otherwise might have missed. Was nice leaving the organisation to the guide.

I had a great time with Gadventures trip to Peru and Boliva. I highly recommend Gadventures, National Geographic small group trips. I believe these trips offer special insight into the local cultures.

This is the way to travel to Peru as the hosts pointed out significant features of where we were which we’d otherwise walk on by. The guides were very knowledgeable and their pride came through in their discussions.

Great trip. Full on pace, would have to skip activities to slow down! A cultural and nature trip. Guatemala was my favourite country; the Mayan history and culture. The archeological site at Copan adds to the diversity of experiences on this trip. As well the more recent history of regime change in Nicaragua. The Spanish colonial architecture was highlighted at all destinations, quaint hotels. Nature’s beauty and wild life was showcased throughout. Overall, a diversity of experiences filled the two weeks!
