Some trips just hit different — and this one’s got the perfect mix of wild nature, bucket list thrills, and real local connection. Dive into the heart of Ecuador with a lodge stay deep in the Amazon where monkeys leap overhead and the jungle hums all night long. Learn how to make chocolate from scratch and cruise through a local community by bike before heading to Baños for hot springs, canyon swings, and all the adventure your heart can handle. Then explore the volcanic rim and dreamy turquoise waters of Quilotoa, one of the country’s best-kept secrets. With just the right balance of structured days and free time, you’ll come back with more than just epic photos — you’ll leave with stories you’ll be telling for years.

Phones charged and playlists queued — this 27-day journey is a full-on adventure through Central and South America that’s packed with wild nature, laid-back beach towns, and buzzing cities. Start in Costa Rica with the surfy chill of Puerto Viejo before heading into Panama’s hidden gems — think island time in Bocas del Toro, misty hikes in Boquete, and the crater village of Valle de Antón. Then go fully off-grid on the San Blas Islands, where Indigenous communities run the show and turquoise water meets white sand. After that, it’s Colombia time. Wander Cartagena’s colourful old town, trek through jungle trails to waterfalls in Minca, kick back in Santa Marta, and finish strong in Medellín with mountaintop views and a nightlife scene to match. From slow travel moments to fast-paced fun, this one’s got it all.
