Costa Rica.
Activity Level: 2

These are particularly busy tours that feature a lot of moving around, sometimes by train and short journeys on local transport. Walking tours of towns and cities are leisurely but you should be prepared to be on your feet for several hours. Some of our cultural trips that occur at high altitude and/or require greater independence with baggage handling (at hotels, airports, train stations) also fall into this category.

To learn more about the Activity levels, please visit our

Tour Style: Cultural

These three- and four-star hotel-based, "soft adventure" trips concentrate on the culture, history, and natural attributes of our destination. Though there are no strenuous activities built into these tours, you need to be prepared for some full days with some early starts, plenty of walking on uneven surfaces through villages, cities and archaeological sites, and not a lot of "down time." Independence, reasonable fitness, and an ability to be steady on one's feet are critical in order for you to get the most out of these programs.

Andres Fernandez Growing up in an international environment allowed me to interact with people from different cultures and learn from them. I would say that's when I became a traveler...

FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
Choosing a favorite destination is always difficult. Having travelled to many different countries, there seems to be an endless amount of great memories and experiences that, at the time, feel like 'the best'. However, these exceptional days will too be surpassed. Whether it be the next day, trip, or country I look forward to what comes next. We are fortunate to have the privilege to see and experience so many places. I hope never to be jaded by this great opportunity.

EDUCATION:
Bachelor of International Business with a Minor in Spanish. The degree also included spending a year studying abroad in Chile.
LANGUAGE:
English, Spanish, and some French & German.
FAVOURITE DESTINATION:
This is Sierra's least favourite question.

She enjoys every destination in its own unique way and has yet to find a country she didn’t fall in love with.
