What's this trip about?

    Corsica was recently voted by National Geographic as the 2015 Best New Trips!  This adventure is an ideal combination of hiking the spectacular granite mountains of Corsica (including a bit of the legendary GR20) and paddling the azure waters of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Reserve Naturelle de Scandola.  This active, hotel-based trip offers superb local cuisine for which the “Isle of Beauty” is famous.  Talented bilingual guides help ease all guests into a deep appreciation of “corsitude” as we embrace the authentic McDonalds-free local culture!
