Being vegan can be quite changeling sometimes when traveling around the globe, hard to find good restaurants, and activities that suits our urge for a responsible, sustainable, cultural world together with our love for nature, animals and a good excellent plant-based meals, because we love to eat and eat well!

Perfect way to meet an international group of people with the same mindset and values and spent a great time together discovering a new destination in a different way than most roundtrips. Our groups are small (8-12pax) for a better interaction and less impact.

The trip is Carbon Free, since we compensate our footprints with planting of Atlantic rainforest native trees.
