My travel specialist stepped in and gave many options, reworked itineraries and camps as needed, and offered excellent advice along the way. In many ways, he went above and beyond.
About Us - Management
Global Basecamps was created for two simple reasons: to bring a new type of lodging and tour option to online travel and to redesign the booking experience. 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 actually traveling. We come from a variety of backgrounds ranging from biogeography to sales, IT Database design to 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 the 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.

Client Testimonials
Kyle, South Africa
First, I just wanted to thank Andres again! His help was invaluable and made the trip so memorable and easy. Everything for the Peru leg was flawless from the time we landed in Cusco. On the trail, Lobo, our guide was a walking Inca/Peru encyclopedia. He answered every question we threw at him regarding plants, animals, history, astronomy and anthropology and everything else. Everything in Ecuador was nearly as equally perfect. We filled the days between the trek and the Galapagos cruise with sightseeing in Cuenca and Quito on our own. Thanks again for planning out this amazing trip! Look forward to our next Global Basecamps vacation!
