Top Single Travel Adventures to Take with Culture Trip

Why choose between the Andes and the Amazon when our Adventurous Ecuador trip lets you see both? Eight days will simultaneously fly by and freeze you in forever-long moments as you go whitewater rafting through the rainforest, ride through Cotopaxi National Park on horseback and swing from a mountaintop treehouse. These memories will linger in your mind even longer than the local chocolate lingers on your tongue. Still not long enough though…

Whether you fancy yourself a Cleopatra or a Ramesses, this nine-day Egyptian odyssey will make you feel like royalty. A luxurious cruise down the Nile fills one of many afternoons of pampering for your body and mind. Late-night visits to Luxor Temple, shopping sprees at the Khan Al-Khalili bazaar, and gazing at the wonders in and outside the Great Egyptian Museum will leave you as spoiled as Egyptian eminence.

The pulsating energy of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro make up the bread of our Brazilian sandwich, while the filling features a few calm days exploring the luscious bounties of Paraty Bay. We start in Sao Paulo, where trendy neighbourhoods are adorned with street art and vast park spaces are embellished with stunning works of contemporary architecture. Then we head to Paraty – one of the most gorgeous old cobblestone towns in Brazil – where we can explore the coastal region’s luscious forests and crystalline waters. Finally we reach Rio, where it’s all about learning samba, sipping cocktails and watching the sun go down over the Copacabana. Not to mention a visit to Christ the Redeemer, a hike on Sugarloaf Mountain and some time to work on your volleyball technique on the beach.
