Our Team

Huellas in Spanish means footprints;

we want you to leave them at every place you visit: a beach, a trail on the forest, a local town.

Since our foundation in 2001, we believe our itineraries promote cultural and environmental awareness among all our travelers and suppliers. As you leave your huellas, you will contribute to the purpose of sustainable tourism: enjoy the wildlife and local culture of every area you visit while also helping conserve it for future generations.

Connections with suppliers allowing us special perks for you
24-7 availability (weather in the tropics may change your plans)
