What separates the tourist from the traveler? Curiosity about what lies beneath the surface of a place and the capacity for lifelong learning. GeoCultura Tours takes that impulse quite literally, lining up expert scholars and scientists to lead the way to a deeper understanding of the world.

GeoCultura are specialty holidays for the curious traveler. The best landscapes, earth, history and culture for the discerning travelers.

Drawn from the fields of geology, science, communication, and history, GeoCultura’s tour leaders encourage travelers to go deep – often all the way into the geologic substrate of a place illuminating the role of earth history in culture and society.

Participants in GeoCultura tours aren’t content to dance across the surface of a destination in a “if it’s Tuesday it must be Belgium” romp. This is travel with like-minded folk who want to know how the effects of the natural environment are woven into the human history of a place.
Based in the United Kingdom, GeoCultura offers new trips both in North America and Europe.
