| EXPEDITIONS |
We chose this term not necessarily regarding the technical difficulty but because of the length (2-3 weeks) of these trips and the complexity of its organization. Our expeditions have been designed to introduce you to the very heart of the region and provide you the most enriching lifetime experience you can get for your money, they are not just single or multiple day “tours” put together.
All of our expeditions start and end when we pick you up to or from the airport, and include all land services: accommodation, full-board-food (B&B in main cities), common equipment, and all the staff required. International and local flights are normally not included.
