Hear from Past Travelers
-
“What makes international travel a beautiful experience for us is the opportunity to learn about the culture firsthand through its people, food, and music. Discover Corps designed this trip to Cuba with all of that in mind. We developed genuine connections with people we would have never had a chance to interact with otherwise, enjoyed so much delicious food, and heard music everywhere. The casa particular was an incredible opportunity to hone our Spanish and, for my 8-year-old daughter, to be immersed in the language for a week. Our tour guide gave us chances to make the trip our own during free-time and showed us the local perspective day after day.”
Ann L. – Milwaukee, WI

“Each day I thought we had reached the high point of the trip, but then the next day always offered another rich experience. Broadening my knowledge of Peru and its people was very important. The trip exceeded any expectation that I had…the warmth, generosity, skill, knowledge of the guide, Miguel, the variety of experiences we participated in – Inka history, social projects, connection with the people, and especially the children – made for an unforgettable trip. Rainbow Mountain was one of the most deeply spiritual experiences I’ve ever had. I’m saving my money for my next Discover Corps trip!”
Karen G. – Putney, VT
-
“The entire trip was a whirlwind of seeing beautiful wildlife, unique plants, and speaking to inspirational local people. My daughters and I bonded over the once-in-a-lifetime experience of being so close to nature and the animals. It’s an experience we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.”
Sandra A. – Del Mar, CA

Why Discover Corps
Discover Corps offers spontaneous, authentic, small group experiences. We know that the most memorable travel moments don’t happen on a giant tour bus – they come through experiencing a new place through the eyes of those who call it home. Our Vacations with Purpose offer a curated blend of activities that allow you to discover a country through its people.
Small Groups: We prioritize keeping our groups small, with the average group made up of 8 like-minded travelers. This allows us to experience things that big tours of people would never be able to, from visits to the studios of celebrated local artisans, to up-close encounters with exotic wildlife.
Purposeful Projects: Designed by grassroots organizations to connect our travelers to local communities in a meaningful way, each Discover Corps project is an opportunity for you to lend your hand and heart to an important cause. These projects are accessible to people of all ages and abilities. They provide meaning and purpose to your journey.
Unparalleled Access: Our guides aren’t your typical tour guides. They’re local residents who are experts on the area and its customs. Throughout your trip, they’ll share their lives with you, while introducing you to people and taking you to special local places that most travelers would never know existed.
Hands-On Cultural Immersion: Our travelers are immersed in local communities through cultural workshops, insightful sightseeing, and sharing meals with local people. Like to cook? Learn to make tortillas alongside a local artisan. You’ll return home with a feel for what life in the community is really like.
Distinctive Accommodations: Our accommodations come with a wow factor. No chain hotels or tourist traps in sight – just properties selected for their quality, location and charm. These unique living spaces are curated to enhance your overall experience, whether you’re staying at a rustic scientific research station in the heart of a jungle or a luxurious safari camp in a renowned game preserve.
As an added bonus, families of 6 or more qualify for a Group Discount of up to $250 per person.
