AMERICAS
Destinations within the Americas are as diverse as they are thoroughly inspiring! In South America, the Andes mountain ranges carve a natural divide between the coastal regions and the vast interior dominated by the Amazon Jungle. Amid these environments, you’ll nd some of the most astounding cultures, wildlife and natural wonders. In Central America, the legacies of signi cant past civilisations are strewn throughout the region while North America reveals so many spectacular landscapes there is not enough room on this page to detail them.
World Expeditions has not only a long history of operating trips in these regions but a passion for showcasing them to travellers who like to go beyond the tourist hot spots. Our expertise is in getting you truly immersed in the natural landscapes and in contact with the more untouched cultures through the organisation of high quality trekking, cycling, climbing and cultural journeys. We’re proud of our long heritage working alongside great adventurers such as Simon Yates, Soren Kruse Ledet, Andreas Holland and Angel Armesto. We’re equally proud of our local crews made up of guides, porters, cooks, drivers and camp hands who are passionate individuals dedicated to making your holiday as safe, comfortable and fun as possible.
