Stories are what makes a country interesting. As tourists, however, we forget about these stories when rushing from one place to another looking for an opportunity to have some fun or to take a new photo. Sometimes we just need a little nudge, something that helps us remember these stories.
Trek America is the right place to reconnect with the stories of the North American continent. It’s a small, but a leading company specialising in small group tours for young people aged between 18 and 35 years, which means you’ll be travelling with people of the same age as you. It offers you an educational, different, and fun way to travel North and Central America where you can learn about cities not everyone is familiar with, from gleaming metropolises to ancient places and impressive national parks. Members of Hostelling International get 10% off their booking. All you need to do is send an email to info@youth-hostel.si.
Trips are organised in guided groups, which you can also join as a solo traveller, so you can surround yourself with like-minded people in a blink of an eye. Being a part of a group, you won’t have to worry about paying for accommodation, national park entrance fees, road tolls and the best food. Plus, you’ll reach places that are difficult to reach with public transport more easily. Tours are run by the locals who are enthusiastic guides, which means you’ll get to experience real local stories.
There’s an enormous variety of trips to choose from, including even a music programme where you can visit the ACL Festival and Elvis Presley’s Graceland mansion. The Western BLT trip includes a visit to Yellowstone Park and Grand Canyon, and you can also stop in Las Vegas on Route 66. The duration of trips ranges from three days to three months. The longest trip lasts 72 days and includes all contiguous states. If you choose a trip across Canada, you can follow the trail of the first Canadian settlers or set out to explore the world of grizzly bears and glaciers. In Central America, a journey through dense jungles and across vast stretches of beaches await you, an opportunity to learn about the local cultures, which are part of the diverse countries. The prices vary according to accommodation. Each trip is unique.
