To the individual travelers we supply a Manual, in which we give extra information on the travel itinerary & culture (for Cuba & Peru so far).

We indicate in this Manual among others how to respect and deal well with the social and cultural aspects of the country of destination, and how to take care of the environment.

The Manuals contain the most important issues for a successful & relaxed journey, and are continuously updated with our own travel experiences and that of other travelers.

Part of our service is to answer the questions a traveler has before, during or after the holiday concerning any aspect of the country or travel, as far as we can.

Individual travelers always receive a general briefing and their vouchers on arrival in the country of destination by our host and/or local agent.

What makes our Individual Travels Responsible Travels?

Besides that we offer as much as possible Responsible Travels, with nature excursions, one or more day trekkings within a travel, horseback trekkings of several days, or design complete nature travels, of which local nature organizations and local guides do profit directly, we reserve a part of our profit for supporting local families or local projects with social, ambiental or healthcare aspects. This depends on destination and income related to destination (see also for every destination).

On Cuba we support several families with children with clothes, medicaments, books, second hand luxury articles, purchases of their handicrafts, and donations. We have financed a small house in East Cuba for a family to have their living. We also offer travelers to stay in private houses (casas particulares) from which the families have a direct profit.

We have supported the initiative of a waterbirth centre in Lima and the education of Peruvian midwives in this subject.

We offer horseback trekkings eg. in Argentina (but also in Cuba) by which the local families have a good income and a way to sustain a traditional way of life in the mountains.

Further we make exclusively use of the internet and email to distribute information and communicate with clients to save trees & minimise wastage associated with glossy brochures and postal communications. In office we re-use paper for printing and keep all used paper material apart to hand out to old paper collectors.
