Exploring the Caucasus Mountains in Georgia

The Caucasus Mountains rise up along the intersection of Asia and Europe, stretching from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. One of the best places to explore these majestic peaks is in Georgia, a country that is quickly becoming a favourite destination for travellers looking for somewhere to get away from it all. Culture Trip’s nine-day journey is all about off-the-grid travel experiences, including hiking to the secluded Gergeti Church and beyond remote Juta village, visiting Unesco World Heritage sites at the city of Mtskheta, which dates back to the 3rd century BCE, and exploring the Lagodekhi National Park.

Trekking through the Andes and the Amazon in Ecuador

Ecuador is home to some spectacularly diverse landscapes, with everything from the Andes Mountains, which stretch through seven South American countries, to the lush jungle of the Amazon – and if you’re looking for isolated getaways, it doesn’t get better than this. Explore the best of Ecuador on Culture Trip’s Ecuador group trip, which passes through the geothermally active peaks of the Avenue of Volcanoes, before heading into the Amazon, where you’ll go white-water rafting through the jungle. At the end of the trip, it’s time to sit back and relax in natural hot springs at a secluded retreat in Papallacta, a village in the Andes Mountains.

Since you are here, we would like to share our vision for the future of travel - and the direction Culture Trip is moving in.

Culture Trip launched in 2011 with a simple yet passionate mission: to inspire people to go beyond their boundaries and experience what makes a place, its people and its culture special and meaningful — and this is still in our DNA today. We are proud that, for more than a decade, millions like you have trusted our award-winning recommendations by people who deeply understand what makes certain places and communities so special.

Increasingly we believe the world needs more meaningful, real-life connections between curious travellers keen to explore the world in a more responsible way. That is why we have intensively curated a collection of premium small-group trips as an invitation to meet and connect with new, like-minded people for once-in-a-lifetime experiences in three categories: Culture Trips, Rail Trips and Private Trips. Our Trips are suitable for both solo travelers, couples and friends who want to explore the world together.

Culture Trips are deeply immersive 5 to 16 days itineraries, that combine authentic local experiences, exciting activities and 4-5* accommodation to look forward to at the end of each day. Our Rail Trips are our most planet-friendly itineraries that invite you to take the scenic route, relax whilst getting under the skin of a destination. Our Private Trips are fully tailored itineraries, curated by our Travel Experts specifically for you, your friends or your family.

We know that many of you worry about the environmental impact of travel and are looking for ways of expanding horizons in ways that do minimal harm - and may even bring benefits. We are committed to go as far as possible in curating our trips with care for the planet. That is why all of our trips are flightless in destination, fully carbon offset - and we have ambitious plans to be net zero in the very near future.
