Pura Aventura sees travel as a powerful force for good – when done thoughtfully. Their purpose is simple yet transformative: ignite discovery, joy, and wonder in every trip, while ensuring local communities and ecosystems genuinely benefit.
Their origin story began with the kindness of strangers in Patagonia’s Torres del Paine. Over two decades and countless journeys later, that spirit of generosity still guides them. They remain a family business – modern, pan-European, and deeply grateful to the landscapes and people who continue to welcome them.
Pura Aventura focus on a handful of destinations (“inch-wide, mile-deep”). They know the hidden trails, family-run lodges, and passionate artisans who turn an ordinary visit into an extraordinary encounter.
They listen carefully to client’s interests and needs, then weave together tailored adventures that bring them closer to the cultures, cuisines, and people who make these lands so special. They don’t just say “we care” – they prove it by having someone on the other end of the phone – whether you’re looking at a map or need an on-the-ground tip once you’re abroad.
Their team embraces a spirit of wonder, spontaneity, and kindness (it’s in our name, “Pura”), ensuring that every adventure is infused with the same warmth we first experienced in Patagonia.
No Fly Holidays to Spain
Their no-fly Spain holidays are big on local flavour and low on carbon. Embrace the joys of relaxed train travel between London and Spain, perhaps stopping for a night or two in Paris en route. All trips can include train travel, in one or both directions.
Heading to Barcelona? From London St Pancras you can be picking up picnic supplies in a Parisian boulangerie within a couple of hours. Explore Paris with our help, stay in a characterful hotel next to the Gare de Lyon then hop on the train to Barcelona the next day, gazing at the French countryside out the window.
From Bilbao or Santander you could also return by overnight ferry to the southern coast of England. Just choose the trip that you love the look of and we’ll help with the details.
