These expert-led hiking holidays pave the way for adventures along rugged coastline and the lava-laced trails of Ecuador’s Galápagos Islands.
Whether you prefer a bracing forest hike cooled by the Caribbean breeze or a more rustic ramble along rocky trails, these two-footed tours have you covered. Designed with easy-going days and accessible levels of exertion, these Culture Trips are perfectly primed for all ages – including seniors in search of some outdoorsy adventure.
Dazzling Brazil
The beauty of Brazil is that both ends of the intensity spectrum are part of the culture. The people here love to go wild, be it on epic treks or samba parties, but they’re equally fond of slowing down the hours with an ice cool caipirinha and a scenic viewpoint. Our nine-day Brazilian adventure blends both, as well as blending the intoxicating art, history and culture of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro with the natural bounties of Brazil’s coastline. We’ll have a Jeep to help us hike sections of the Unesco-listed Atlantic Forest on Paraty Bay, where cascading waterfalls and rare birdlife appear from nowhere. In Rio we’ll spend time walking to Christ the Redeemer and to a sunset cocktail bar perched on Sugarloaf Mountain, but our secret hiking highlight is Tijuca Forest, the largest urban forest on the planet, which we’ll traverse on our last full day.
