Our destinations in Central and South America

Costa Rica is renowned for its exceptional biodiversity and varied landscapes. It’s the ideal destination for anyone looking to combine adventure, relaxation and cultural discovery.

From lush tropical forests to pristine beaches and towering volcanoes, Costa Rica offers a wide variety of landscapes to explore. With Geo Escapade, you can take your pick from several ways to explore this jewel of Central America. Here’s your chance to enjoy unique and rewarding experiences in an unspoilt natural setting.

Peru is a land of contrasts that invites you to journey to the heart of its history and natural surroundings. From ancient cities to breathtaking landscapes, each stage of your stay will be an unforgettable discovery. Unravel the mysteries of the lost city of Machu Picchu, explore the Sacred Valley of the Incas, and marvel at the majestic mountains of the Andes. From the colorful markets of Cusco to the age-old salt mines of Maras, and not forgetting the incredible Amazon rainforest, called the “green lung of the earth”, a stay in Peru is a cultural and natural adventure in the heart of South America. How can we mention Peru without talking about its culinary wealth? Considered one of the richest and most varied cuisines in Latin America, Peruvian gastronomy is where Spanish, Asian, African and European influences meet. Each region of the country has its own specialities, offering travellers a unique adventure for their tastebuds. Remember to try one of the most iconic dishes of Peru: Ceviche, a dish prepared with raw marine fish in lime juice.
