Destinations · The Americas
Region

Closer to home. Mostly wild.

Alaska. Hawaii. And the trips around them.

26 guides across 8 countries

A working list — Alaska and Hawaii do most of the load-bearing, the Caribbean punches above its weight, and the rest of the catalog runs lighter and on its own terms. Where the list is thinner, the connection on the ground is the load-bearing thing.

Alaska wilderness — glacier coastline at sunset
Signature trip · Alaska

Alaska

Aurora, glacier, port, wilderness — the state runs eight ways.

The trip nobody regrets, easy to land badly without an advisor. I keep the planning math straight — daylight, season, lodge availability, which segment of coast or interior you base on.

Kauai’s NaPali cliffs, Hawaiian Islands
Signature trip · Hawaii

Hawaii

Six islands. Six different trips.

Six islands. Six different trips. The mistake most travelers make is picking the wrong one for what they actually want — the right island-and-base call is the work.

A category · Caribbean

The Caribbean.

Three islands, three different weeks — the trip people book between bigger trips, the one that lands easy and resets the year.

Anguilla — quiet Caribbean shoreline at golden hour
Anguilla

Anguilla

Flat-beach quiet. The one I send people to when they want nothing to negotiate.

Buenos Aires architecture and city life, Argentina
1 guide

Argentina

Buenos Aires today — tango, parrillas, leather, and a city that refuses to take anything at half-speed. Patagonia and Mendoza are the obvious next chapters.

Cartagena old town walls along the Caribbean coast, Colombia
3 guides

Colombia

Three cities, three registers — Bogotá's altitude, Cartagena's walled coast, Medellín's reinvention. The country most American travelers' mental model is fifteen years behind on.

Machu Picchu and the Andes at sunrise, Peru
1 guide

Peru

Lima's food scene, the Inca circuit done right, and the Amazon river cruise that turns a good Peru trip into the right one. Belmond's Andean trains run through the spine.
