Mountain Adventure Holidays & Trekking Expeditions
Whether it’s the snow-capped Andes, the towering Himalayas, or the legendary Kilimanjaro, every journey is an adventure. Along the way, take in breathtaking scenery, meet local cultures, and experience the deep sense of accomplishment that comes with reaching your goal.
Andes, South America
The Lost Trails of the Inca
Stretching over 7,000 km, the Andes Mountains are the longest continental range on Earth. These peaks hold history, ancient civilizations, and diverse ecosystems. They also offer adventurers an unrivaled variety of mountain trekking holidays.
The Inca Trail is the most famous route. It winds through cloud forests, past Incan ruins, and over mountain passes before reaching Machu Picchu. Beyond this well-known path, adventurers can explore remote landscapes. Trek Peru’s Cordillera Blanca, climb Ecuador’s volcanic peaks, or venture into Chile and Argentina’s Patagonian wilderness.
Wildlife encounters make mountain trekking holidays even more special. Watch Andean condors soar over valleys, see llamas and vicuñas grazing on high plains, and, if lucky, spot a puma in Patagonia.
For a true off-the-beaten-path adventure, take on the Choquequirao trek. This hidden Incan citadel sees fewer crowds but offers one of South America’s most rewarding treks.
Kilimanjaro, Tanzania
Africa’s Highest Peak
Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895m) is Africa’s highest peak and one of the most sought-after trekking destinations in the world. Unlike many mountains of similar height, Kilimanjaro does not require technical climbing experience, making it an achievable climb for most trekkers.
We offer a selection of seven distinct routes, based on difficulty, scenery, and acclimatisation time:
- Marangu Route – The most popular route.
- Machame Route – Renowned for its stunning views and steep ascent.
- Lemosho Route – The best choice for acclimatisation.
- Rongai Route – A quieter, less-travelled option.
- Umbwe Route – The most challenging route.
- Northern Circuit – The longest and least crowded route.
Expect to pass through lush rainforests, alpine deserts, and glacial landscapes before reaching Uhuru Peak, where you’ll be rewarded with spectacular sunrise views above the clouds.
Himalayas, Asia
The World's Highest Peaks
The Himalayas are home to eight of the world’s ten highest peaks, making them the ultimate destination for extreme travel seekers. Whether you want to conquer Everest Base Camp, explore the remote regions of Ladakh in India, or trek the lesser-known Annapurna Circuit in Nepal, the Himalayas offer a range of adventurous experiences for all levels.
One of the most famous routes is the Everest Base Camp trek, which takes you through Sherpa villages, Buddhist monasteries, and the dramatic Khumbu Icefall. Culminating in breathtaking views of Everest itself. The Annapurna Circuit provides a more diverse journey, with deep gorges, subtropical forests, and Tibetan-style villages.
For those seeking an even greater challenge, the Stok Kangri trek in Ladakh or the Goecha La trek in Sikkim provide high-altitude adventure without the Everest crowds. Whichever trek you choose, you can expect a rich cultural experience, stunning mountainous landscapes, and a deep sense of achievement. Where will you summit next?

For those seeking a true off-grid experience, Iwokrama Rainforest Reserve offers guided jungle hikes, night safaris, and the chance to canoe along the Essequibo River, keeping an eye out for black caimans and giant anteaters. Whether you’re hiking deep into the jungle or sleeping in an open-air hammock under the stars, Guyana offers an authentic rainforest adventure like no other.
Costa Rica, The Ultimate Wildlife Adventure Holiday
Costa Rica’s rainforests are bursting with life, making the country a paradise for nature lovers and adventure seekers alike. Over 25% of Costa Rica is protected national parkland, ensuring that its lush jungles remain untouched.
Adventurers can zip-line through the treetops of Monteverde Cloud Forest, spotting scarlet macaws, tree frogs, and playful capuchin monkeys along the way. The dense jungle of Corcovado National Park is home to jaguars, tapirs, and four species of wild monkeys. Making it one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. Those looking for adrenaline can white-water raft down the Pacuare River or navigate hanging bridges suspended over deep valleys.
For a truly immersive rainforest experience, stay in an eco-lodge deep in the jungle, where the sounds of howler monkeys and tropical birds wake you each morning.
Borneo, Encounter Orangutans in the Wild
Borneo is one of the last places on Earth where orangutans roam freely. Making it a must-visit for anyone passionate about wildlife conservation. The island is covered in ancient primary rainforest, home to proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants, clouded leopards, and rare sun bears.
One of the highlights is visiting the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre. Where rescued orangutans are rehabilitated before returning to the wild. Beyond Sepilok lies the Kinabatangan River. Offering the chance to spot basking crocodiles and hornbills soaring above the jungle canopy.
For those seeking deeper immersion, the Danum Valley Conservation Area provides jungle treks through untouched rainforest, where researchers and adventurers alike track elusive wildlife. Borneo delivers a rainforest adventure unlike anywhere else in the world.
