At Rutas de Serendipia, we believe that travel is much more than just visiting exotic countries. For us, each trip is a unique adventure as it involves full immersion in a new culture, an unknown natural environment, and a social and human reality that can be very different from what we are used to.
It's not just about admiring the beauty of a paradisiacal landscape or iconic architecture, but also experiencing the destination you go toimmersing yourself in the daily life of its inhabitants, understanding their customs and history, and connecting with the surrounding environment.
In short, we don't just visit places — we dive into their depths. We'll never forget how, speaking on the phone, a traveller described our way of traveling to her husband: 'Where am I? I'm in the very heart of Egypt and it's magical...'
What are our pillars?
We travel the world from a human perspective. We seek to understand the needs and expectations of travelers, promote cultural exchange between travelers and local communities, and always foster a spirit of camaraderie and collaboration among participants in our trips, creating an atmosphere of support and fellowship that enriches the travel experience for everyone.
We strive to always offer lesser-known and more authentic itineraries, avoiding mass tourism, congested sites, the hustle and bustle of conventional tourism, and the negative impacts that it entails. We opt for destinations and places that preserve essence and authenticity.
One of the pillars that sustains our philosophy and helps us remain faithful to it throughout our trips. We consider all possible impacts — social, economic, and environmental — that our activity may cause. We strive to minimize any negative footprint and maximize the positive impacts we leave behind: we collaborate with local projects, support community development initiatives, and promote equity and social justice — doing our bit.
Undoubtedly the cornerstone that makes all this possible. We count on and bet on a great human team formed by experts in different aspects of the travel world, but united by the same passion and vocation. The coordinators, the local teams in the destinations, the office team... a team that, with passion, experience, and dedication, creates the routes for you.
I share the agency's philosophy! Can I be a serendipitous traveler?
The answer is yes. If you’ve already read our philosophy and way of traveling, and it aligns with your values and how you want to explore the world, we only ask:
-A willingness to share and travel in a group.
-To have an open mind and a positive attitude.
-To face cultural differences with respect and cultural sensitivity.
-Not to seek a luxurious trip, but rather a simple journey full of authentic experiences.
-Not to have severe mental health issues or serious mobility problems.
-Be adaptable to the destination’s circumstances and group dynamics (not being overly picky or conflictive).
-To travel with respect, empathy, and tolerance.
-To have a desire for active travel: walking, participating in activities, trying new things, and engaging in experiences.
Our trips are full of experiences and activities; if your plan is to spend a week at the beach doing nothing, we do not recommend our routes (this does not mean we don't take time to sunbathe, swim, or relax, but in addition to that, we also enjoy being active).
-And most importantly: to have the desire to travel, explore, experience, laugh, learn, and share…
