Our Philosophy

“Adventure travel requires a spirit of adventure.” At Go South, our small group trips are about cultural and environmental respect and enjoyment. We invite you to challenge your spirit of adventure and involve yourself with proud cultures, ancient peoples and mysterious places. Where the lines between past and present are often blurred and the seasons, not seconds, mark the passage of time.

The Go South Difference

• Experience – Founder Troy Glennon travels extensively throughout Central and South America, both independently and as an adventure tour leader. From this first hand knowledge, we design our adventures with experienced local operators who share our commitment to personalized service and responsible tourism.
• Value – No Hidden Costs – We have planned your adventure from touchdown to takeoff. This means that all ground transfers and transportation (bus, train, etc.) during your adventure are included in the Trip Cost.
• Service – We are dedicated in helping put together the best trip for you. This can entail adding extension programs, combining tours, or customizing a trip to your special interests. While traveling in your chosen destination, our local expert guides and in country operators are committed to bringing out the best in your adventure.
• Attitude – We believe our adventure destinations are to be explored, not invaded. From this perspective, we have sought to design trips that combine the spirit and freedom of independent travel with the cost advantages and camaraderie of small group adventures. Our trips have a maximum of 12 participants; this assures that we have a minimal impact not only on the wilderness areas we visit, but also the local cultures we encounter.

Small Group Adventures & Accommodations

Our standard adventures run on a regular schedule and are perfect for travelers who have a restricted time frame. They have a low 12-person group maximum and feature comfortable three star accommodations (4 & 5 star upgrades available). For those travelers with a more flexible schedule, Extra Days and Trip Extensions can be easily added for you to extend your adventure possibilities.

• Custom Itineraries and Accommodations can also be arranged for private groups.
