G R E O I Z U P S WELCOME TO PEREGRINE

From our humble first steps in the foothills of Nepal, we’ve expanded to over 80 countries across all seven continents. Over 40 years of operating, one thing has stayed constant – our desire for authentic adventure.

Our passionate guides and leaders will give you the story behind the well-known highlights, then help you find the smaller moments that make your journey truly unforgettable.

With our smaller group sizes you’ll be able to slip between alleys and see local secrets the big groups just can’t reach, and eat and stay in more intimate and authentic locations.

We’re a company built by travellers, for travellers, and it shows in every step.

Take your next one with us.

JOURNEYSG R E O I Z U P S At Peregrine, we believe small groups are the key to unlocking unforgettable adventures.

Travelling in small groups of 12 or fewer (on land-based tours) means we can keep experiences spontaneous and authentic and discover local secrets. It’s the ideal number to duck between market stalls or sit down for a leisurely meal at a local family restaurant.

WORLD-CLASS LEADERS With an intimate group, you’ll really get to know your leader. Share stories and meals, getting the chance to ask more questions and go deeper than the guidebook.

HAND-PICKED ACCOMMODATION We have the flexibility to stay in a wider range of lodgings, and we carefully select all our accommodation for a reason. Whether it’s the spectacular view, central location, historical relevance or all of the above.

EFFORTLESS TRAVEL We adapt our transport for each destination, without compromising on comfort. When we’re not travelling by motorised canoe into the Amazon, or by vintage American car in Havana, we use private vehicles to reduce travel time.

CURATED EXPERIENCES We’ll start with the highlights, but when the big tour groups hop back on their coach our local guides will help you find a more unique, personal experience.

PEREGRINE MOMENTS

After 40 years travelling the globe, we’ve learnt it’s the little things that make a trip memorable. Peregrine Moments lead you off the well-worn tourist trails and take you a little deeper into the culture. Sure, we’ll take you to the heights of Machu Picchu, but we’ll also take you deep into the secrets of other Cusco archaeological sites thanks to the knowledge of specialist historians.

3 // peregrineadventures.com Our leader had an amazing breadth of knowledge LOCAL and organisational ability. Finding someone with both skills, and at such a high level, is rare. KNOWLEDGE

Over 20 years ago, we became the first tour company of our kind to exclusively employ local leaders in the destinations we visit. Because who better to guide you through the backstreets than someone who lives there?

Our trips feature plenty of guidebook highlights, but you won’t stop there. Our leaders will help you to find experiences that are intimate, authentic and memorable, away from the well-worn path.

Our small group size guarantees you more one-on-one time with your leader and the opportunity to develop a meaningful relationship with them and the destination you’re exploring.

Let our local leaders show you their world.

HAND-PICKED ACCOMMODATION

Travelling in small groups means we aren’t restricted to staying in larger chain hotels. Our destination experts FEATURE STAY FEATURE STAY can seek out accommodation that better reflects the style of the region.

You’ll spend less time waiting in queues for check-in and more time soaking up your surrounds. We don’t subscribe to the idea that adventure means forgoing comfort, and the accommodation we use is hand-picked Hotel Isla Suasi, Peru Hotel Atitlan, Guatemala for its quality, amenities and location. All of our standard trips also include a special feature stay – lodgings selected for their ability to enrich your experience. What that means will change depending on the destination.

7 // peregrineadventures.com peregrineadventures.com // 8 RESPONSIBLE TRAVEL

In 2018, we made our commitment to doing good official when we became part of the world’s largest certified travel B Corp. Being a B Corp means we no longer merely strive to make a positive difference in the world, we are legally bound to it. Certified B Corps are companies that look after their staff, maintain a clean supply chain and take corporate social responsibility seriously. That means when you choose Peregrine, you can rest assured you’re travelling to improve the planet.

Here are just some of the ways we do that:

CARBON POSITIVE ACTION Any emissions created by the transport or accommodation used in our trips are offset through the purchase of carbon credits, as part of our decade-long commitment to being a carbon neutral business. ANIMAL WELFARE We’re industry leaders when it comes to animal welfare – in 2014 we were the first global tour operator to end elephant rides on our tours. ENDING MODERN SLAVERY In 2016 we removed orphanage visits from our itineraries, and in 2019 we campaigned for laws that recognised orphanage tourism as a form of modern slavery.

COMMUNITY-BASED TOURISM Responsible, community-based tourism is good for travellers and locals alike. That’s why we’ve worked with organisations like ActionAid in Myanmar to develop projects that empower communities.

Since 2002, The Intrepid Foundation has been offering travellers a tangible, transparent way to give back to the communities we visit. It’s simple: you donate, we double your contribution, and then we give 100% of that money to a community-based project. Thanks to you, we’ve donated over AU $7 million to more than 130 local organisations around the world, helping to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable individuals and communities through sustainable travel experiences.

We’ve been travelling the world for 40 years, and our passion for immersive journeys is just as strong now as when we took our first steps into the foothills of Nepal way back in 1978.

We now operate in 80 countries across all seven continents, and while we continue to grow we’ve never lost our focus of the unique style of travel we made our name with.

Below, find four of our favourite trips across South and Central America. These are the trips that exemplify the Peregrine spirit.

The interplay between ancient roots and colonial influence in South America doesn’t just make for rich history – it leads to dazzling displays of cultural multiplicity across the continent. You’ll see it in the native Aymara women in the street markets of La Paz with their brightly coloured dresses offset by a few-sizes-too- small bowler hat, and in the legend of gauchos – the Argentine cowboys who hunted horses that had escaped from foreign traders. It’s why Machu Picchu is called a ‘Lost City’, simply because the Spanish never got their hands on it.
