Trip Philosophy

BE A TRAVELER, NOT A TOURIST.

We don’t simply visit a destination.

And we definitely don’t tour a city.

We immerse ourselves in Cartagena. Havana. Medellin. Granada. Guided by those who live and breathe their city.

WE TAKE THE LEAP.

We cook our fresh catch on a deserted beach.

We JUMP INTO THE WATERFALL.

We EAT THE WORM. Maybe.

We let loose in the Salsa club.

We sip the oldest, and newest, MEZCAL.

We turn the boat around swim with dolphins.

We jam out during conga or champeta or salsa lessons.

We roll cigars with abuelita.

Above all, we embolden the local creatives. The designer working with indigenous peoples to preserve their craft. The chef that challenges the paradigm of where our food comes from. The graffiti artist celebrating the history of a community through art. We share in their drive and their passion for seeking out a better world. This is sustainable and responsible travel on a grassroots level. 

So look beyond everything you thought travel was, and embrace something new.

Because we don’t just meet the locals, we live with them; we learn alongside them; we dance with them through the night. They help us explore their country the way they’d want to explore it today, allowing you to get the most authentic travel experiences from the people who know their destination better than anyone else. Because our brand of travel is living there now.

Be a misfit, be a rebel, be whatever you really are. Travel brings out the best of you. All your curiosities, your wild, fearless side.

WE ARE A NEW WAY OF TRAVEL. WE ARE EL CAMINO.
