Why Travel with Pura Aventura

1. What we do is unique

We think that Active and Comfortable is a perfect combination for a holiday.

The best way to see and experience a place is by being in it and doing something, not just gawping through a bus window. That shouldn’t be daunting: our holidays suit a wide range of fitness levels. See our definitions of Activity and Comfort levels here.

We also think that there’s usually no need to suffer for your exertions. In fact, what better way to earn a good meal and a good night’s sleep than by being outdoors all day?

We look for smaller hotels that are comfortable, have good personal service and local character and, preferably, are locally owned. If you’re looking for uniformed doormen, chandeliers and globally standardised rooms, then you’d probably be better off looking elsewhere.

We only offer holidays that we know are up to scratch. We specialise in Spain and Latin America because (a) that’s what we know and love best; and (b) that provides an incredible range of sights and experiences to offer our clients.

2. How we operate

We take a comprehensive view of Responsibility which includes our commitment to use local guides and suppliers as far as possible, supporting local social and environmental projects, and keeping our groups small to lower our impact.

You can read more about our commitment to Responsibility here.

We only offer holidays that we think are good enough to carry our name. All of our holidays are either Handmade (which we research, design and operate ourselves) or Handpicked (which we have experienced and think are good enough to have our name on). You can read more about Handmade and handpicked by clicking here.

But the best argument we can make is that…

3. Our Clients Say So

If the ‘proof of the pudding’ is really in the eating, then we’re happy to direct you to the opinions of our clients which we think speak loud and clear for themselves.

We also list relevant client quotes for every holiday and category of holiday on the site, so that you can see exactly what other people thought of the places and the experience.

Our Values

We believe in:

• Sharing our passion for the most amazing places in the world.
• Operating in a sustainable way to protect them.
• Working with local people to make the experience richer for all.
• Putting ourselves in our clients’ shoes to create extraordinary holidays.
• Combining active experiences with creature comforts.
