At Exodus, we love adventure travel and always have. Discovering countries, cultures, environments, cities, mountain ranges, deserts, coasts and jungles; more exploring this amazing planet we all live on. We know what makes you tick when it comes to holidays. It’s a desire shared by so many others. A yearning to visit new places and come home with a real sense of what they’re all about. This means delving into local traditions, cultures, cuisine, lifestyles – anything that contributes to its unique identity. At the same time, we always remember that we are only guests. So we travel courteously and respectfully, in smaller groups to minimise our impact, to ensure that every Exodus holiday is a beneficial experience for everyone involved.

Fantastic trip ...especially Amazon
South America Getaway with Amazon
Chris , QLD, Australia, Oct 2025
Thanks Georgie for fantastic arrangements as usual for a really great trip. True highlights were iguazu Falls and the Amazon...both SO much better than my expectations which were already high. 2 days in Manaus before the trip started was ideal as the jet lag and long travel to manaus took some adjustment. Outstanding tour guides in Amazon and Iguazu read more and good elsewhere made for a wonderful trip. Loved the small group tour ...just 13 of us. Perfect. Highly recommend this trip for a great pace and itinerary.
South American discovery
South America Getaway with Santiago & Easter Island
Gary and Lea, NSW, Australia, Oct 2025
Highlight of the trip was Iguassu Falls....we had plenty of time to explore both sides of the Falls and the local guide and accommodation was great. Easter Island was fascinating, despite some shortcomings with the local accommodation and guide There's a lot of air travel so be prepared to spend a lot of time in airports or on (crowded economy class) read more flights. No airport transfer on arrival is offered, nor can you prepay gratuities. So we had to carry local currency or USD throughout. Hotel location in Santiago was well away from shops, etc...about 20-30 minutes walk to local shopping centres, etc.
Tour group was dominated by USA tourists, including a group of (comped?) travel agents. Grace from GJ did an excellent job with the booking and Globus liaison.

Galápagos Adventure: Snorkelling & Sea Lions
David, NC, United States, Sep 2025
The tours and activities were great! Really enjoyed our leader. Felt like he was very knowledgeable and he was very personable. One complaint-breakfasts were way too small. Nina from Global Journeys was extremely helpful. Especially since I made arrangements kind of last minute.
Stress free travel in Peru and Bolivia
Incas, Titicaca & La Paz
Peter, QLD, Australia, Sep 2025
If you are looking for one trip to tick off so many bucket list items this, is it! Lima, Cusco, the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, La Paz. Our tour leader, Edwar, was super passionate about sharing the Peruvian culture and providing insights only an indigenous Peruvian and an Archaeologist could. The accommodation was well above expectations read more – think Hilton and up. The daily activities ran like clockwork. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. I don't know how they managed it, but the weather was even perfect!
Fantastic tour of South America
Ultimate South America with Arequipa & Colca Canyon
Patricia, SA, Australia, Jul 2025
We have been on quite a few tours with different companies and this one with Cosmos was by far the best. Our tour director Fernando spoke perfect English and was very kind and caring looking after everyone's health at the high altitudes. The pace of the tour was just right with free time and lots of options.
Memorable visit to Peru for Inti Raymi festival
Upgraded - Discover Peru (Inti Raymi)
Srbo , ACT, Australia, Jun 2025
I highly recommend travelling with Explore as our local tour leader Arturo ensured every aspect of our visit was enjoyable and memorable. Arturo was the ultimate professional making sure our stay was trouble free and his passion for his work and Peru left a lasting impression on the group. All the accommodation, transport, meals and access to sites read more exceeded expectations as Arturo ensured that each moment was spent soaking up the atmosphere and learning about Peruvian history, culture and heritage without any worries or concerns.
The local guides, staff and people were very friendly and hospitable towards us with many happy moments spent sampling the local cuisine and beverages in the restaurants, cafes and with locals such as at Lake Titicaca and Maras.
Its easy to recommend the well known sites such as Lima, Cusco and Machu Picchu but visiting Arequipa with its many churches, volcanoes and traditional markets was memorable as was the day trip to Ollantaytambo town and archaeological site in the nearby hills.
Add to that Raqchi and the Sun Temple, Colca Canyon and Valley with its condors and hawks, there was plenty to see for all types of visitors that it would be unfair to single out one particular moment or experience. Attending both Corpus Christi and Inti Raymi festivities was an eye opening experience getting to witness a mixture of religious practices and soaking in the atmosphere and warm weather with thousands of people left you deeply emotional and excited.
I look forward to returning in the not so distant future to see the extra places on offer and partake in the additional Amazon visit as the those who were lucky enough to visit had a fun time living it up seeing the beautiful scenery and witnessing exotic animals in a safe environment. Thanks Explore and Global Journeys for a life changing trip!
