Your guide is the single most important factor in the
success of your trip. It’s the difference between the
magic of a Wildland Adventure and the mediocrity of another
tour. Our guides create genuine, honest, and personal cross-cultural
interactions stimulated by sensitive introductions to local
people while taking care to minimize our environmental
impact by sharing their reverence for our Earth.
- We have developed close working relationships with
native guides (instead of American or Ex-pat trip leaders)
who
are masters of their profession and intimately familiar
with the culture, history, and local environment.
- As local residents, Wildland guides show you daily
life behind the scenes by identifying off-beat routes
and introducing
you to local friends and family at markets, villages,
schools, farms, oftentimes taking you for a home-cooked
meal or
overnight in a local village. They know where to find
wildlife, the best restaurants for local cuisine, and
how to avoid
the crowds at popular sites so you have the best experience.
- In
some destinations, rather than having one in-country
guide throughout your trip, you will be accompanied
by different regional guides who specialize in distinct
locales
such as archaeologists at ancient sites, mountain guides
on trekking expeditions, and tropical ecologists in the
rain forest.
- We help train and hire indigenous guides from native
groups such as Maasai of Africa, Kuna and Choco of Panama,
Quechua
Indians of Peru, and other native people who contribute
their amazing, home-grown knowledge that compliments
the educated expertise of a professionally trained trip
leader.
- Most of all, our guides are fun traveling companions
who
make you feel relaxed, stimulated and full of life. And
they prefer leading Wildland travelers because they know
to introduce you to their country more as a friend and
member of the Wildland family, to travel at a natural
pace, in your own style, with a sense of flexibility
and freedom
that allows you to have your own experience.
