What is a detour?

A detour is an experiential journey that allows you to fully experience your travel destination, not a passive bus or cruise trip where you may as well watch your destinations on tv. If you want it to be like home, stay home!  Our trips are hand selected to offer the best experiences in each destination.  You'll know you had a great time, and you definitely weren't at home. Get off the bus!

Detour makes it easy for you to travel with the top LOCAL sustainable travel companies and tour operators in South America and Central America, while saving money by paying their local prices. See Detour in the New York Times discussing sustainable small boat travel in the Galapagos Islands.
