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 that through the itineraries we design, we promote cultural and environmental awareness in all of our travelers and suppliers. As you leave your huellas, you will contribute to the purpose of sustainable tourism, which is, enjoy the wildlife and local culture of every visited area but also help to its conservation for future generations.
Why to choose a knowledgeable travel designer?
Time saving
Cost effective
Security
Connections with suppliers allowing us special perks for you
24-7 availability (weather in the tropics may change your plans)

Ariana Esquivel
The youngest member
Our newest team member, born in June 2021, we called her our “pandemic treasure”, she came into our lives during turbulent times, and cannot be thankful enough because she brightens our days at home-office.
Mauricio takes care of Ariana during the mornings while his wife goes to school to teach English to preschool children. Even though Mauricio checks e-mails constantly in the morning, during the afternoon/evening he is more focused at home-office answering e-mails and calls.
Zuri
Emotional Support Assistant
Zuri (beautiful in the Swahili language) our rescued mutt dog, is always around us taking naps under our desk and begging for a walkout during lunchtime!
We hope you can meet her if you stop by our home office!
