Styles of Travel

Camping adventures throughout North America and Mexico for the 18 - 38 year olds. Over 50 unique itineraries from one to nine weeks in length. Travel in private transportation with a local guide.

How do we get around?

Customised vehicles with air-conditioning, excellent stereo systems, specially designed roof racks for luggage and equipment, and a trailer or storage area to maximise space and comfort. Every group is virtually self-sufficient and able to explore the backroads "where the crowds can't go". Maximum 13 passengers.
Central and South America use a variety of local vehicles that are best suited to the group size and local terrain. Typically they travel in 15-20 passenger vehicles, with all luggage carried on board. Other forms of local transport, including flights, local trains, horses and even canoes, may be employed to get into the heart of a particular region.

Trek America Crew

Each tour has a professional driver/guide. Group participation is required on most itineraries.
