At Adventures Abroad, we’re always looking to make things better, with new tours, updated and revamped tours and more tour dates. Some of our new tours include Ecuador and the Galapogos, West Africa, Essential Argentina, and Southern Spain and Portugal.
ECUADOR & THE GALAPAGOS – NEW TOUR!
This is an exciting addition to our itineraries that include the superlative Galapagos Islands. The most attractive aspect of this trip is that it is not a cruise, but rather a land-based adventure that allows for more time and greater immersion in not only the natural splendour of this special place, but also in its unique and little-known island culture. Though cruises will always be an extremely popular way of visiting the islands and do a fantastic job overall, we are delighted to offer our travellers an alternative that allows you to see and experience what it's like to live on the islands, either as a descendant of the early settlers, an adventurous entrepreneur, or as an iguana!
This is why we call this an "experiential" adventure; on this special journey you will experience all that this incredible place has to offer the inquisitive visitor, while doing so in a way that promotes sustainable tourism. Add to this a continental component, which provides a sumptuous glimpse into pre- and post-colonial times in the Andes, and an optional 4-day Amazon extension, you have a breathtakingly-varied Ecuadorian experience and one of the most intimate and ‘immersive’ trips we offer anywhere.

SOUTH KOREA – REVAMPED
As a result of feedback from past travellers and Tour Leaders, and with the advice of our Korean partners and the Korean National Tourism Organization, we have revamped our entire treatment of this tiny, yet highly complex corner of Asia. At the urging of our savvy customers, we have added more dimension and texture, with less emphasis on shrines and other monuments, and more attention to South Korea’s fascinating and unique culture and history, ancient and modern. We have improved the flow of the trip overall and eased up the pace, with enhanced sightseeing and cultural experiences in Seoul and Busan. The most exciting part is the long overdue addition of Jeju Island, Korea’s answer to Hawaii, with a unique culture and stunning volcanic landscape. You can tour South Korea on its own, but most travellers tie it in with our tours of Taiwan and Japan; next departure Autumn 2017.

ESSENTIAL ARGENTINA – NEW TOUR!
This new itinerary covers this stupendous country pretty much from top to bottom. Whereas most of our other trips featuring Argentina also include either Chile and / or Brazil, this one spends almost three glorious weeks covering all the famous highlights of this huge country—Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, Perito Moreno Glacier, Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, as well as Punta Tombo and Peninsula Valdes in time to coincide with the nesting season of the Magellanic penguin and the yearly appearance of the southern right whale. We also head to the up-and-coming northwest region, which features a unique Andean indigenous tradition, remote and desolate altiplano landscapes, and an interesting flora and fauna.

SOUTHERN SPAIN & PORTUGAL – NEW TOUR!
In response to the overwhelming interest in Portugal of late, and the perennial popularity of our tour of southern Spain, we are pleased to introduce a new itinerary that covers both! Our long-standing tour of Portugal & Spain “forces” you to also include Northern Spain over 24 days; this new, more compact option allows us to include all of the highlights of both regions in a tidy 15-day package. Our slightly off-season dates also take advantage of the area’s mild climate and allow us to visit at a time that’s less crowded and more affordable.
