Global Basecamps was invaluable in setting up our trip in Thailand. My travel specialist made personal recommendations for places to stay that were carefully thought-out to meet our needs. They were extremely diligent about ensuring that connections, rides and ferry schedules matched seamlessly, and made it easy for us to just enjoy our trip without any stresses. We absolutely appreciate every aspect of the work they did on our behalf. Kudos!

Our Philosophy
We believe that the best trips involve multiple stops, multiple environments and multiple experiences. Although we no longer live out of our backpacks for six months at a stretch (although we'd like to) we've found a way to recreate the excitement and sense of discovery in a shorter period of time: it's called basecamping. The key is to find the right people to help. In our case, we've scoured the planet to find the hotels and lodges that can help pack as many experiences into a couple of days as possible. Don't have enough time to circumnavigate Patagonia? Check out one of our lodges in Southern Argentina and after three days you'll feel like you had. This is what defines a basecamp to us: a property that truly helps you to explore an area on short day trips. Got a little more time? There's no better way to check life experiences off of your list than by doing multi-day excursions…that's where the true adventure lies. Travel is about choices and every trip is unique. Without getting too scientific about it just break down the components of your trip into the things you love: beach, mountain, cooking, reading, train, animals…put them all together and you should have the perfect trip. Visit the explore section of this site and give it a try.

Client Testimonials
Lisa, Trip to Thailand
I went on my first trip out of the country with my best friend to Peru. It was amazing, and Global Basecamps did a wonderful job at organizing our trip. The Amazon excursion was amazing, and Machu Picchu was beautiful. All our guides were extremely helpful, warm, and friendly. Our travel specialist was extremely responsive to all our questions. We will definitely be using Global Basecamps again for our next trip outside the U.S.
