G Adventures and National Geographic Expeditions have announced the addition of three new ‘National Geographic Family Journeys with G Adventures’ trips with Ecuador, Mexico and Spain being added to the programme.
This collection of trips is designed for parents, children and extended families who are “travelling together to connect with the world around them in a culturally immersive way.”
Each new National Geographic Family Journeys itinerary features unique, interactive activities inspired by National Geographic’s expertise in photography and storytelling, wildlife, culture and history, and exploration.
In Ecuador, families will explore the jungle by foot and canoe, learning all about the Amazon and observing a variety of native wildlife, including birds and monkeys in their natural habitat.
In Mexico, they will participate in communal life in the small vibrant Maya community of Yaxunah and test their culinary skills whilst preparing a historical dish incorporating ancient Mayan techniques.
Spain will see family travellers dive into the history and glory of the Real Madrid soccer team with a tour of the iconic Bernabéu stadium.
Additionally, a new National Geographic Journeys with G Adventures trip will commence in Egypt, the first time the country is featured in the programme.
The new trips in the collection bring the total number of trips to 93 across both collections, including 19 designed especially for families. They are all available to book now, with the first departures taking place in 2025.
