Geography Tours

GEOGRAPHY TOURS

In these tours, which are customisable, part of the rationale for the travel becomes the experience of geography. Hence the location or milieu takes a form of expression: you practice either photography or writing or painting (with watercolours or oil on canvas), or a combination of all, while travelling with expert instructors and professionals in these fields. These tours are limited to just a few every year, and some change every year.

Days & Detours

DAYS & DETOURS

If you’re travelling in the areas where we operate, enrich your trip by spending a few days doing what we do best. Perhaps you like to spend a few days learning photography - or painting - the peasants life in a quaint village? Or stay in a farm, or do a trek in a stretch of pristine forest? Such brief detours are entirely customisable: fire your imagination about the possibilities by exploring this website, then contact us and we’ll suggest some options for you. We can take care of everything.
