About ExploreWith 30 new programs, Adventure Center's 124-page EXPLORE brochure features over 180 truly affordable adventures in more than 80 countries! Choose from a vast array of trips: Sail Indonesia's island-studded archipelago aboard a traditional schooner, or hike the hillside trails of Tuscany. Visit ancient Thai temples, or climb the Inca Trail. Explore crusader castles and the lost city of Petra, or experience the culture of the Dogon people and their cliffside villages in remote Mali. Small groups are designed to minimize environmental and cultural disturbance. Composed of travelers from around the English speaking world, groups use whatever type of accommodation best suits the area being visited - staying one night in the hut of an Akha headman and the next in a small hotel. An Explore trip will trek where this is the best means of access to a wilderness or tribal area, as in the Himalayas, or in Borneo. Sailtreks and river journeys provide a relaxing and ideal way to explore the unspoilt coastline of Turkey, with its sunken cities, or meet the inhabitants of remote riverside villages along the Mekong! Adventure Center's EXPLORE trips are truly affordable! The average per day cost is only about $75, and on some trips its less than $40! Compare this with prices from other adventure companies, and you'll appreciate this value even more! |
