Our luxury eco sabbatical holidays to South America are key to our sustainable travel goal; to slow travel.
Incredible views of Machu Picchu
A sabbatical holiday is a longer trip; giving you more time to explore a country, combine more destinations and get to know the area and its people and cultures better.
There are industries such as law and finance that reward long service with a sabbatical or career break. We have designed many slow travel holidays for guests who have longer to spend away; for luxury sabbaticals, or once-in-a-lifetime epic family adventures.
Sabbatical journeys mean less flying; seeing the real country in a slower more environmentally conscious way. More time in a region means more money goes back into the local community and more local people are employed. You can properly experience and appreciate a country when you are not moving on every few days; fall in love with local food and music, reach the lesser known spots, see the rarer breeds of birds, explore the markets that are for locals not tourists, experience peace, take the epic trekking routes that require longer.
