Our Philosophy
Travel That Transforms and Gives Back
The Good Life Expeditions Way
Our Philosophy
Good Life Expeditions – a travel company that makes a difference
We’re a different kind of travel company. Good Life Expeditions evolved out of MEDLIFE, an established NGO with a clear mission to build a worldwide movement empowering the poor in their fight for equal access to healthcare, education, and a safe home. Our profits go towards supporting the MEDLIFE Movement.
Based in Lima, Peru, we design authentic, immersive travel experiences that positively contribute to the places you visit. But that feel-good impact is for you too. Our focus is on offering transformative travel experiences that change your perspective on the world and often your own life.
To effectively offer transformative travel, our philosophy has 4 simple components: get to the heart of the destination, offer something different, leverage our expertise, and plan fantastic trips no matter the budget. In other words…
We’ll take you to the heart of Latin America and Africa.
We offer travel experiences in the countries where MEDLIFE operates and beyond. We’re currently in Peru, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Argentina, Nicaragua, and Tanzania. Discover the best of Latin America and Africa with our carefully selected experiences designed to immerse you in nature, the local history, culture, and the food, rather than just the typical tourist sites.
We offer something different and unforgettable.
Of course, you want to see Machu Picchu in Peru and giant tortoises in the Galapagos Islands. But we’ll take you further. Our carefully selected experiences offer a real immersive experience in the countries you’re visiting.
Connect with the natural world as we take you to some of the most remote, breathtaking places on Earth. Venture deep into the Amazon rainforest in search of sloths and the elusive jaguar. Hike to Cotopaxi’s summit in Ecuador, one of the highest active volcanoes. Snorkel with marine iguanas in the Galapagos Islands.
One of the best ways to get to know a new place is through its people. We connect you with fascinating locals. Trek through the Andes with local shepherds. Discover the Serengeti wanderers with a Maasai guide and stroll through Lima’s colorful markets with a local chef.
Do all of this, knowing that you’re positively contributing to the people and communities you encounter. Besides our profits funding MEDLIFE projects, we work with local hotels, providers, and guides with sustainable, eco-friendly practices. Many of them have their own community projects that they fund.
