We are rated 5* Platinum on Feefo, fully certified by B Corp, trusted by leading publications from the BBC to the FT to Vanity Fair and have been frequently praised by Which? Magazine for going above and beyond to look after our clients.​
​
But just as our holidays take you away from the crowds, our actions take us beyond mere words. Travel Positive™ is our action, creating a deeper connection with the places we love in a way which enriches your experience and makes travel a force for good. ​

As part of our 1% For the Planet commitment, we balance the total carbon produced on every holiday by 160% - a mile for every kilometre you travel from your front door and back again. By investing in an award-winning, fully accredited and independently verified reforestation project, our action helps creates sustainable income opportunities for rural communities, assuring the long-term success of our environmental legacy.​

We're not done yet though. We continue to learn, to challenge, to share and improve as we push towards our Net Zero obligations by 2030 and create new ways for you to experience our destinations. Magazine itself says "Pura Aventura manages to put both the planet and its customers first." That's a promise we'll never stop striving to fulfil.​

This beautiful, bespoke watercolour was commissioned by Isabel, our local support in Portugal, as a surprise for Adrian and Ann during their golden wedding anniversary trip with Pura Aventura. Created by local artist Dina, the painting was inspired by the traditional Noivos de Viana, depicting a bride and groom in the traditional dress of northern Portugal.

Judging by Adrian’s lovely feedback, they appreciated everything the Pura team put together to make their anniversary extra memorable! Adrian and Ann enjoyed warm welcomes at their hotels, a wonderful lunch at Quinta de la Rosa and a private boat trip along the Douro River. Not a bad way to celebrate 50 years of marriage. 💛

Anniversary or not, we’d love to help you discover the delights of Portugal for yourself. Get in touch and let’s start planning your own unforgettable journey! 🇵🇹

“They looked after me. They had no reason to.”

Hitchhiking, wading across rivers and the kindness of strangers. This is the story of our history on the Carretera Austral. Our trips here have a touch more luxury nowadays (rather less sleeping on floors, rather more boutique lodges), but the essence remains the same: spectacular landscapes, a real sense of discovery, and a place best explored with those who know it best.

We believe the best time to travel depends on what you want to experience.

That’s why we travel, ask questions and listen to the people who know these places best: the people who live there. We find out when they would recommend visiting, then combine their local knowledge with our own expertise to create journeys that offer something special at different times of year. Because every destination has its moments. It’s about knowing when to best experience them.

One country. Five extraordinary landscapes. 🇪🇨

From rainforests and misty cloud forests to snow-capped volcanoes and crater lakes, Ecuador packs an astonishing variety. Then, of course, there’s the extraordinary wildlife of the Galápagos Islands, which makes for an experience unlike anywhere else on Earth.

Welcome to the southern end of Chile, where the Patagonian steppe meets the Andes.

The Pura Aventura story began here more than 25 years ago, when our founders first met while working in Patagonia, and we’ve been returning ever since.

No matter how many times we come back, there’s something about the scale and wildness of this place that stops us in our tracks.

Here are a few postcards from our recent trips.

Have you ever experienced Patagonia for yourself? 🇨🇱

We love it when people 'get' what our trips are about. Going further, spending time with locals, seeing and experiencing things you didn't even know were there.

Reading a review like this makes our day, but more than that, it helps others understand what Pura trips are really like. For more honest, first-hand feedback from our clients, take a look at our Feefo reviews: https://www.feefo.com/en-GB/reviews/pura-aventura

There’s another side to Menorca, and you’re more likely to find it once summer has packed its bags.

Out of season, the island slows down. The beaches empty, the heat softens and the trails become places to linger rather than rush through. Following stretches of the Camí de Cavalls on foot takes you beyond the Menorca most people know, past hidden coves and quiet cliffs, through pine forests and countryside.

This is Menorca’s quieter side. And, if you ask us, it's when it is at its best.

Meet Sergio, our wonderful guide at Iguazú, who shows travellers around these falls just as his grandfather did some 70 years ago.

Working directly with local guides, hosts and partners is a huge part of what makes our trips feel different. It also means that as much of your money as possible stays right there in the local community, with the people who welcome you.

Share with someone who’d love to explore Iguazú 🇦🇷
