World Expedtions – Americas

World Expeditions are trekking and adventure travel holiday specialists. They ran their first trekking holiday in Nepal in 1975. Since then they’ve pioneered sustainable small group trekking and adventure travel holidays to every continent on earth.

Whether it’s the iconic trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, a voyage to the Galapagos, an expedition to Cerro Torre in Patagonia, or a tree-top walk through the Amazon – there’s an adventure for everyone in South America. Make a difference when you travel by joining one of their Community Projects. Their decades of experience mean there are specially designed itineraries for hearty adventurers, natural history buffs, gastronomy enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike. Journey north and trade Incas for the Mayans whose Aztec ruins throughout Central America represent some of the world’s richest history and architecture.

North America offers unmatched deeply rich old growth rainforests, grassy meadows of fluorescent wildflowers, towering granite peaks and glaciers, as well as the occasional Grizzly Bear, Moose, Timber Wolf, Elk or Bald Eagle. Meanwhile, North America’s First Nations people cling deeply to folklore, customs, and a culture that existed long before skyscrapers and super highways.

If you simply can’t decide which is for you, then why not combine these exciting destinations in one of our unique tailormade holidays which offer you the best of all worlds?

Polruan Cottages

Polruan Cottages is a select group of individually-owned homes, most of which overlook the beautiful Fowey harbour. They range from the small, one-bedroomed cottage for two people to the spacious property which will accommodate up to nine quite comfortably, each with its own essential character.

Polruan is an ancient nautical village on the south-eastern shore of Fowey Harbour – mid-way along the south Cornish coast between Falmouth and Plymouth. It is often spoken of as a ‘fishing village’, and indeed there are a few professional fisherman left, but an equally important role throughout its long history has been played, as it is still played today, by boatbuilding and other activities connected with the busy and beautiful harbour on which the community lies.

Today, Polruan is unsurpassed as a place for a peaceful self-catering holiday in Cornwall. For those who are after, first and foremost, somewhere to sail or otherwise ‘mess about in boats’, Fowey has become one of the West Country’s major sailing centres, with two active clubs (the Royal Fowey Yacht Club and the Fowey Gallants Sailing Club) and the Harbour Master, himself a keen small-boat sailor, is anxious to welcome yachtsmen and provide the facilities they need, at reasonable cost. There are good facilities too, for sea-fishing and other water-sports.

Whatever your needs, their aim is that you enjoy your holiday, and they will give any information and assistance they can. Many of their visitors return each year from far afield.

Authentic Adventures – Singing Holidays

Authentic Adventures offer Natural Voice singing holidays in groups led by the inspirational Faith Watson.

You will stay in locally run hotels with an authentic feel and sing in a variety of settings – churches, old palaces, and beside the sea. They explore the regions, discover local crafts, enjoy music on the streets and visit villages where, whenever possible, they join with local choirs thanks to the knowledge of their guides.

All accommodation, transport within the region, and most meals are included and they enjoy eating together in a local restaurant or their hotel.

When not singing they usually offer easy walking and they remain open to surprises which regularly add to the magic of their holidays.

Natural Voice
‘Natural Voice’ holidays with Faith Watson are perfect for those who love to sing and may perhaps sing with a modern choir at home, but no musical training is required. Faith believes everyone can sing. She will bring a range of songs from around the world and each day the vocal exercises and rounds will grow into the full song. Their groups wax lyrical about the bond and shared feeling of singing in these groups.
