Program Description:
BACK & PACK Logo

1,000 km from the South American continent lies 19 islands, unworldly beauty, and endless adventure. On this unique BACK&PACK independent travel adventure, you'll island-hop between three breathtaking islands to snorkel with sea lions, kayak pristine waters, hike active volcanoes, and so much more. Exploring the islands without a cruise (and away from the crowds!) is equal parts intimate and magical. And for those looking to dive even deeper, you'll have a chance to give back through our locally-led conservation projects.
