Our reliable and loyal ground operators look after you in each destination from arrival at the airport to departure so you can relax and enjoy your stay while someone else looks after the finer details for you.

Movidas – the name

Movidas is colloquial Spanish for ‘moves’ or ‘movements’, an expression often used in dance or sport. It can also mean ‘in vogue’ or ‘chic’ or ‘a good connection’ – as in ‘I know someone who can get tickets to the sold out performance…’ It implies life and enjoyment, which is what the Movidas team hopes you will experience on one of their journeys.

The Movidas team

Robyn Smith and Simone Marashlian have been working as a team for over fourteen years, sending travellers on amazing journeys to Latin America! They  are constantly coming up with fresh and exciting ideas for travel to this amazing continent, with a feel for what each individual journeymaker desires. The idea is for travellers to immerse themselves in what they enjoy, be it vibrant cities, tropical jungles, wildlife havens or amazing landscapes. We have had great support also from our wonderful web designer and artist, Luca Balboni, and our little website elves, Libby and Antonio!  The Movidas team wants to move you to the destination of your dreams.

Movidas in 2011

We continue to support events and organisations associated with Latin America. We have a delicious gourmet tour with Alejandro Saravia, taking in the tastes of Peru! Getaway recently filmed a segment with Alejandro in Lima, showcasing what you could expect if you jump on board! We recently sponsored  Chris Newman’s ‘Big Bear Prints’ Argentine Art exhibit. Watussi remain our favourite Latin music band and we hope to help send the boys on another overseas tour. We are happy to report that Latin America has recovered well from last year’s tragic climatic events and is in great shape.  We hope to send some of you on a Movidas Journey in 2011 and thank those who have already returned! Have a good surf of the website as there are many items on the menu and we are sure something will tempt you. We look forward to looking after you!
