AltruVistas opens the door to customized travel experiences that reach far beyond hotels and beaches–to people and places not found in most travel books. Each journey is intelligently designed, educational, interactive, inspiring, and tailored specially for you and your members. AltruVistas creates your journey with your vision in mind. We create wellness and corporate retreats, alternative yoga immersions, and family adventures, as well as educational and fundraising journeys. AltruVistas staff have decades of grappling with provocative themes such as peace and conflict resolution, the struggle for gender and LGBTQ equity, and the struggle for human rights. All of our journeys respect the unique ecology, history and culture of the place we are visiting. We incorporate visits to social institutions so your participants understand the issues impacting health, education, and environmental well being. Our AltruVistas promise is that you will meet with people you might never meet when traveling on your own–from government figures to academic and spiritual leaders to farmers and families in isolated villages. We have an extensive network of on-the-ground contacts, knowledgeable trip leaders, and proficient translators, as well as a team of specialists who provide professional, personal, and flexible service.
What are Customized Tours?
Our Customized AltruVistas Journeys offers an alternative and increasingly popular form of educational travel, exclusively tailored to the particular interests of your group. Whether your group is a foundation, a family, a university or middle school class, a membership organization, a church group, a group of professionals, or a group of like-minded people, AltruVistas can organize your tour.
Our AltruVistas Journeys are structured so that your group can collectively gain first-hand experience of people and organizations involved in issues important to you. We facilitate meaningful exchanges with people who form the political, economic, social, and cultural fabric of the society and region you’re visiting. Through these informal and formal interactions, our participants come away with an informed and enriched understanding of the accomplishments and hopes of people from diverse backgrounds.
Our diverse itineraries incorporate meetings, on-site visits, and interactions with community organizations, government officials, journalists, scientists, university professors, doctors, writers, artists, musicians, dancers, environmentalists, and representatives from various religious groups. And, yes, each journey builds in time for reflection, relaxation, and fun!
