About Us - The Company

Introduction to Global Basecamps

Global Basecamps was created quite simply to bring a new type of lodging and tour option to online booking. Tired with limited choices and boring interfaces we wanted the experience of researching and booking hotels, lodges and tours to reflect the excitement that we felt while we were doing it. We come from a variety of backgrounds: biogeography, sales, IT Database design and restaurant management but we share a common set of values and more importantly a common sense of awe at the world around us. We're excited to be able to share what we've found over the last five years and are always on the lookout for the next new destination, lodge or excursion. We've found that the best travel advice always comes from a friend of a friend who's already been there so consider us a friend of a friend and know that we're here for you if you ever want to talk.

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.
