Specialization:

By concentrating solely in Latin America since 1990, Southwind has consistently provided travel services of the highest quality, tailored to our customers goals and priorities. Our focus is pure and our expertise appreciated by discerning luxe-adventure travelers. We custom design each trip with the utmost care using first-hand experience vetting our offerings. We incorporate valuable input from our in-country staff with feedback from returning guests. We diligently select the finest hotels, resorts, lodges, expedition vessels and haciendas – each offering unparalleled amenities, value and local character. We partner with the most capable in-country providers and work with resident professional guides who share our travel style, ethos and love of wild places.

Customization:

We are passionate about crafting a trip for you that is a vacation of a lifetime. We do our best to ensure your trip is fondly remembered for the unique perspective you obtain on the destination – whether in an exclusive setting with your own private group or sharing your adventures in a small group of new friends on a Galapagos cruise, a riverboat down the Amazon or at an all-inclusive lodge in Patagonia. You chose travel dates within the season that are best for your schedule. We provide well-crafted sample itineraries to provide a basis to customize to your liking adding or subtracting days or regional destinations. With our custom approach to planning, you reap the rewards of our extensive knowledge, know-how, exclusive access to sites and activities and long-term relationships in our destinations.

Comfort:

Southwind has a portfolio of distinctive boutique hotels we incorporate into your trip based on your travel style. Whether being enveloped in luxury at a resort spa, opening the door to a special cultural encounter or offering you a breathtaking view of a natural wonder, all our properties are the finest in the region and chosen with the highest standards for warm service, ambiance, amenities and you as the guest in mind. If you choose a trek with glamping, we’ve taken it up a notch with top-of-the-line tents, gourmet meals, fresh fruit, a full camp staff and added features like portable sun showers, cushy sleeping pads and cots and even a massage therapist to work out the kinks after a day of exploring.

Commitment:

Personal service and attention to detail epitomize Southwind’s exceptional value. For us, your trip begins the moment you call us or search our website and does not end until after you return home. Our job is not complete unless you are thoroughly satisfied. We provide hassle-free planning, adeptly handling of trip logistics – from accommodations and meals to transportation, guides and entrance fees – so all you need do is prepare yourself for exciting new experiences, visual wonders and great friendships. We assure that your trip with Southwind is meaningful and authentic.
