Geodyssey

Geodyssey is a small, high-quality, full-service specialist travel company for our selected destinations in Latin America and the Caribbean. We started in 1993 as a specialist travel company for Venezuela, a country with which we fell in love some years before. We have long been the leading travel company for Venezuela in the UK, and perhaps the whole of Europe. When many of our customers asked whether we could provide a similar service for other countries we decided that we would do so. slowly. We only offer our in-depth travel service after a great deal of research and after experiencing for ourselves what works best in that country. This means building up an understanding from detailed research and several lengthy initial visits backed by regular follow-ups. It means discarding tourist 'products' that may be heavily promoted, and searching out opportunities for authentic experiences that are genuinely rewarding, remarkable and 'real'. We try to offer everything that is best about a country, and always tailored and unique to that country - we do not operate to a formula that applies everywhere. Our philosophy remains to support local economies wherever possible, for example by staying at locally-owned and run hotels and guesthouses, and employing local guides. We don't bargain hard with local suppliers. We try to minimise any harmful impact on the natural environment and local cultures, and to encourage conservation wherever we can.
