Pura Aventura
Active Holidays in Comfort
What we do: Active, Responsible, Comfortable
Pura Aventura offers an exclusive range of small group, independent (eg self-drive) and tailor made holidays.
Pura Aventura holidays all have an active element such as walking, skiing, riding or multi activity. The degree of activity ranges from the gentle (as on a Galapagos yacht cruise) to reasonably strenuous (as on a Patagonia Mountain Circuit).
Whatever level of activity is involved, we believe that you can be comfortable and responsible at the same time.
We specialise in Spain and Latin America because that's what we know and love best. Have a look at where we go to see why we're so passionate.
Our tailor made and independent holidays include skiing, inn-to-inn walks, independent self drive explorations, corporate breaks, honeymoons and longer 'trips-of-a-lifetime'.
Our small-group holidays are usually of around 6 - 10 people. They range from weekend breaks in Spain to 3 week country combinations such as our Walk Wildlife: Peru & Galapagos Holiday.
Use the menus on the left to choose your holiday by destination, type or activity - start with whatever matters most to you.
