TRIPS by Culture Trip Launches with Immersive Small-group Adventures to Experience Extraordinary Places

NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Travel website Culture Trip announces the launch of TRIPS by Culture Trip — unique small-group adventures that help people experience extraordinary destinations in unexpected ways, together with other culturally curious travelers. Curated by travel experts and led by Local Insiders, the multi-day adventures offer exciting itineraries that combine immersive activities and unique places to stay. TRIPS by Culture Trip is now available to book via culturetrip.com/trips.

Once-in-a-lifetime experiences and personal encounters
The diverse TRIPS itineraries are aimed at travelers who want to connect with a place, its people, and its culture. All itineraries feature hand-picked, hyper-local experiences and authentic activities combined with quality accommodation that has a personal feel and is — where possible — locally owned. Thoughtfully planned with ample free time to unwind or explore solo, the itineraries offer the right balance of exploration, action, and relaxation. TRIPS are led by expert Local Insiders who know the destination inside out, show lesser-known places, share their in-depth knowledge, and reveal hidden gems that travelers might not be able to access or have otherwise discovered.

TRIPS launches with 30 itineraries in some of the world's most captivating and off-the-grid places in the U.S., South and Central America, Europe, North Africa, Asia, and other regions, with new itineraries added regularly. First departures are set to take place at the end of this year, with a focus on 2022 and beyond. TRIPS durations range from four to 13 days, with prices starting from $1,169 per person*. Groups will welcome up to 18 travelers aged 25 and over who can join solo or with friends. TRIPS styles include Discovery, Active, City Break, and Wellness, with physical ratings from easy to challenging.

TRIPS examples, from off-road adventures in Utah & Colorado to ancient temples and wild cenotes in Mexico:

Off-Road Adventures in Utah & Colorado
8-day trip from $3,499* per person; departures in June, August, September 2022
The lush granite mountains of Colorado and the mighty red-rock deserts of Utah are at the heart of this trip. Travelers get to hike through the Moab canyonlands, bike down dusty trails in Arches National Park, and go rafting on the Colorado River. They will visit quaint alpine towns, soak in hot springs, and — with any luck — spot a black bear or two in the Colorado Rockies. Food and culture lovers won't be disappointed either as there will also be cocktails at the haunted hotel from The Shining and draft beer tasting in Denver.

Treasure Island: Ancient Temples & Wildlife Encounters in Sri Lanka
12-day trip from $2,039* per person; departures in January, March, May 2022
Travelers get to immerse themselves in authentic Sri Lanka on this trip: the itinerary includes a local's tour of Colombo, cycling around 1,000-year-old ruins, going on a beautiful train journey, enjoying a hands-on cooking lesson combined with a trip to the village market, spotting wild elephants and leopards with a visit to a quieter and lesser-known side of Yala National Park, having lunch overlooking paddy fields and a private spice garden, learning about local education in a rural village school, and more.

Ancient Temples and Wild Cenotes on Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula
9-day trip from $3,039* per person; departures in November 2021, February, April 2022
Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula offers beaches, culture, history, and a rich culinary scene. With this TRIPS itinerary, travelers can climb the ancient Mayan pyramid at Cobá, swim in crystal-clear cenotes, sample pox (the lesser-known cousin of tequila), whip up a Yucatecan feast at a cooking workshop, and enjoy the white-sand beaches of Holbox island. The group will also explore the world-famous Chichen Itza and lesser-known Mayan pyramid at Cobá before finishing this leisurely trip in the beach town of Tulum.
