Adventure Tours

Get out there and in touch with the locals
Are you an Adventure Tour traveller?
You want to involve yourself not only with the Latino culture, but also with the entire experience of travelling through the lands. You envisage sitting next to locals on buses, wandering through marketplaces, trying local restaurants and generally exploring the area. You might have travelled independently in the past but a tour in Latin America appeals to you because you may not be fluent in the local language and want to learn more about the destination. You don't want to spend much time in your hotels but you want to stay somewhere clean, comfortable and centrally located so you can go off and do your own thing. You like having a smaller group to travel with.
Group & Leaders - Usually 8-12 travellers, max 18; Tucan Tour Leader, Tucan Guides, Local Guides & Local Reps
Accommodation - Centrally located hotels, and some jungle lodges and family stays
Transport - Local transport

Discovery Tours

Explore Latin America on our private vehicles
Are you a Discovery Tour traveller?
You enjoy travelling on a reliable, comfortable private vehicle with other like-minded travellers from all around the world. You like that in the morning, the same vehicle that dropped you off the night before is waiting to pick you up outside your hotel with your extra luggage stored safely on board. You enjoy mingling with a lot of other people and you're excited about the fact that dinner is at your leisure, because you can choose where you want to go and who to go with.
