Campgrounds situated in stunning natural settings give our groups opportunities not found by conventional tourists. When we camp near major city destination, nearly all the campgrounds have full facilities such as showers, pools, shops, and laundramats. National Park campgrounds have pay showers, flush toilets and basic facilities. Occasionally, our groups will choose to stay in more isolated areas where the surroundings will quickly make you forget any lack of facilities. All campsite fees are included in the cost of the tour.

Trek has created a comprehensive network of full-service storage depots throughout the Americas, Australia & New Zealand. Our vehicles are customised to ensure your comfort and enjoyment of the tour. All Trek vehicles have air-conditioning and excellent stereo systems to make travelling a pleasure. All luggage, equipment and other necessities are stored on a specially designed roofrack, trailer or storage area to maximise space and comfort.. Every group is virtually self-sufficient and able to explore the backroads "where the crowds can't go".

Our tours in Central and South America use a variety of local vehicles that are best suited to the group size and local terrain. We typically travel in 15-20 passenger vehicles, with all luggage carried on board. Some smaller group sizes many only necessitate an 8-10 passenger van to retain the intimacy of the group. Other forms of local transport, including flights, local trains, horses and even canoes, may be employed to get us to the heart of a particular region.

An essential part of your Trek holiday is helping with the day to day camp duties. With guidance from your Tour Leader and our full range of camping equipment, the team spirit makes the chores easy and enjoyable. From setting up in the evening, to breaking camp in the morning, from unloading the roofrack, to shopping for food and preparing group meals, you'll be part of the team with Trek.

At all night stops designated as (H) on the itinerary, we will stay in budget hotels, and the avergae cost is US$45 per person per night (US$20 in Mexico, Guatemala & Belize). This is based on multiple share. Ocassionally, twin share will be required at a slightly higher cost. These supplements are paid directly to your Trek Leader , as we cannot pre-empt each tour's specific requirements, due to the flexible nature of our suggested night stops. TrekAmerica offers many tours that include en route hotels in the price of the tour. These nights are indicated by an (HP) in the itinerary.
