Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a travel agent and a travel operator?
A travel agent is usually the company that acts as the middle man between the customer and the local travel operator. A travel operator is normally the company organising all the logistics on the ground like accommodation, transport, food, and guiding.
What is an educational trip?
An educational trip is one that uses unique experiences to teach visitors about the world or that enhances a specific learning goal or subject. Our educational trips are tailored to the needs of the school, college, or university and cover a wide range of destinations in Central and South America.
What are two examples of educational travel?
One example of educational travel would be if an Environmental Science professor travelled to the Galápagos Islands to give students first-hand experiences working with scientists. Activities would include visiting the Charles Darwin Research Center, feeding tortoises at the breeding center, and travelling the islands with expert biologists and naturalist guides.
A second example would be if a school Humanities teacher travelled to Peru to lead an educational trip in the Sacred Valley, visiting local communities and developing students’ understanding of the Inca civilisation.
How do I choose the best educational adventure?
Browse through our range of pre-designed trips around Central and South America or get in touch with one of our team members to tailor a trip to your needs and travel style.
Which company is best for travel?
Kagumu Adventures is the best travel operator in Central and South America for educational trips that create genuine impact and follow a strict sustainability mission. Keen to travel elsewhere in the world? We can recommend some fantastic travel companies that align with our mission.
What is the best time of year to go on an educational trip?
This all depends on where you want to go. Central and South American countries are fantastic to visit all year round. We can advise you on the best time of year to go weather-wise or how to catch one of the region’s fantastic annual festivals.
Which is the best country in Latin America?
This totally depends on your needs and preferences. If you desire nature adventures, then Costa Rica and the Galapagos are fantastic options. For a more culturally-immersive experience try Argentina or Peru. Those keen on a mix of everything could opt for Colombia, Ecuador, or Mexico.
