The Amazon Basin is home to the largest rainforest on Earth, containing over half of the planet’s total rainforest volume. A river journey, with biologist and naturalist experts to accompany, is one of the best ways to experience it. You can learn about the indigenous culture, fish for piranha, search for pink dolphins, enjoy night safaris, visit local villages and, if you wish, sleep in hammocks on the deck. You may even like to experience an Ayahuasca ceremony with shamans or indeed trek with them to learn about jungle survival.

Romania is elegant and legendary. In Bucharest, Belle Époque villas and Gothic churches meet sleek garden bars, lakeside dining and a lively arts and cultural scene. Transylvania is where lovingly restored century-old manor houses can become your private home. Horse drawn carriages can take you to torchlit wine tastings and you can be entertained by artisans – craft is their thing! If you visit Brasov, we can arrange an exclusive evening at Bran Castle, or a hike through the Carpathians, a gourmet mountain picnic and a visit to Peles Castle.

Tracking snow leopards in India is one of the most thrilling wildlife experiences in the world – remote, challenging and incredibly rewarding, especially when treks pass through remote Himalayan villages, allowing interaction with monks and nomadic herders. Tracking can be done with great comfort, being accompanied by the best guides and staying in heated luxury tents.

Culture travel is about engaging deeply with the world, connecting with people and traditions and uncovering experiences that remain with you long after your journey.
