  • Journeys DEAR Friends
    2020 JOUrNEYS DEAR FrIENDS, I’m writing this letter, as I do most every year, from the porch of an old cabin on Flathead Lake in northwestern Montana. It always seems right to reconnect with you from this perspective. There’s a long, family-ready table, and a line of “happy hooks” on the wall waiting for the next wet explorer to slosh in and grab a towel. On still mornings, the gin-clear lake reflects a great big world and compels me to stop, take it in, and enjoy some reflection of my own. It is the privilege of my professional life to do what I do. The entire team at Off the Beaten Path is honored to be your partner in travel and lead you to far-flung places, where you will be happily compelled to stop, take it in, and reflect. Undoubtedly, travel is one of the most important and meaningful elements of life. Travel opens the door to places that change you, and moments when you feel a definite, powerful shift... Emerging in the cool morning hours from your desert tent in the Sahara to climb the nearest dune, nuzzle into the silky sand, and watch a sunrise that pierces your heart with its astonishing beauty. Shift. Change. Such rare moments are your reward for leaving home to step across an unfamiliar threshold. In these pages, we offer our best suggestions for places and experiences that will change your life—from new destinations in Europe and Africa to bellwether locales and national parks in Alaska, the American West, and Latin America.

Our Travel Consultants come from around the world, have traveled extensively throughout South America and work “at the source" from our operations headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, Lima and Buenos Aires, and at our flagship office in Seattle. We are passionate about South America Travel, and we're happy to share with you our favorite Buenos Aires restaurants, our insider's tips for Machu Picchu, or our secret colonial gems of Brazil, and anything else you’re eager to know. The idea to create SouthAmerica.travel first came to Co-Founders Juergen Keller and Bradley Nehring while traveling through Brazil's Amazon Rainforest. The two noticed few international travelers, and those they did meet had struggled to arrange the trip by themselves. Expertise in custom travel planning to Brazil was scarce to nonexistent. This inspired the duo to start their own travel business to fill this void and help travelers plan great trips to Brazil, and later all South America. With five offices on three continents, as well as local telephone numbers in 88 countries worldwide, the SouthAmerica.travel Team has helped thousands of travelers fulfill their unique dream of discovering the marvelous and diverse continent of South America.
