Tour in Style: What Is Luxury Travel?
Eric Sheets, founder of Latin Excursions, explains why luxury travel goes beyond staying in the top suite of hotels…
Luxury travel is about seeking the rare experiences on our planet. Private travel is traveling on your own with your own guide and vehicle or transportation. Much of today’s type of travel are “repackaged trips” or cookie cutter in essence and style.
My team at Latin Excursions believes that the spontaneity allowed by private travel maximizes your experience since you are on your own clock and not one driven by a large group. You can start and stop at your liking. You can stop and view the penguins and not be pressured to follow others.

We work with a collection of hotels that not only offer a comfortable bed and warm bath, but share our ethics in sustainable and quality travel. Our collection of hotels are situated in some of the most pristine and remote regions of the Latin continent and who we have found are passionately committed to nature and cultural conservation. Our hotelier partners are able to offer clients a genuine experience of immersion in the local environment

Most importantly: Our customers remember us for those small and subtle details that moved their souls during the trip. That private dinner in the middle of the vineyard, or that special lunch at the highly respected restaurant. Since we have taken a lot of time and effort to understand you, we will be able to offer you surprises along the trip. We use a local host who coordinates all the guides involved in an itinerary. He/she will be responsible with making those necessary changes along the way. We like to allow the sufficient amount of flexibility to allow you and your family to make any special requests and changes to the proposed itinerary. This is how we define travel service.
