My JWP experience was wild, literally as well as metaphorically. Riding through wildflower meadows, climbing through virgin forests, feasting on delicious locally sourced organic treats in ancient oak pastures with some of the most knowledgeable and experienced conservationists in the world, was an other-worldly memory I will always treasure.

Annabel
Hosted Journey to Carpathia, 2023

Norway was a once in a lifetime adventure...The guides and hosts were so committed to sustainability and it was inspiring to spend time with them. This was a truly authentic trip where we experienced once-in-a-lifetime activities. King crab fishing, northern lights, reindeer sanctuary, dog sledding, snowmobiling, ice hotel and incredible food. This was a trip we will never forget!

JP

I had an absolute blast traversing the wilderness surrounding the Carpathian Mountains with a truly wonderful group of people. Thank you Journeys With Purpose for organising a wild adventure I'll remember for the rest of my days.

Their careful attention to detail ensured our comfort and well-being throughout the trip, creating an experience that was as seamless as it was unforgettable. Every moment felt carefully curated.

Journeys With Purpose provides unique bespoke experiences with great communication. This is our 2nd trip with JWP. We love the connections to the local community and our memories will last a lifetime.

Anne Marie
Private Journey to Argentina and Chile, 2023

I have been lucky enough to visit conservation initiatives in many parts of the world - seeing the rewilding of the Iberá Wetlands first-hand through Journeys with Purpose has to rank as one of my most enjoyable and inspirational conservation experiences.

Dan
Hosted Journey to Argentina, 2022

My trip with JWP was inspiring, moving, engaging, surprising, fun, challenging, uplifting and motivating. I’ve come away with new friends, business associates, insights, understanding and greater determination to help accelerate rewilding globally.

This was a fun, once in a lifetime experience that I will never forget. Again, thank you for your attention to detail and the superb service.

Sherri
Private Journey to Rwanda, 2024

This was an exceptional tour to the Carpathians with Journeys with Purpose and it exceeded my already high expectations by some distance. Everything about the trip was incredibly special - the hosts, the itinerary, the food and drink, the accommodation and above all the exceptional wildlife and scenery. Perfection!

Alistair
Hosted Journey to Carpathia, 2024

It was a great privilege to learn about this beautiful part of the world with Barbara and Christoph Promberger. Their vision for the Foundation they have created to protect and sustain it and what they have achieved is phenomenal. Riding round the meadows and hills behind Barbara on my fabulous steed Aida was one of the most exhilarating moments of my life! The flora and abundance of insect life were heaven and we had unexpectedly close encounters with bears, beavers and bison and felt the lurking presence of wolves, lynx and boar. The ecosystem of the Făgăraș Mountains is alive and well and how lucky I was to explore it in the care of JWP.

Rosalind

Journeys with Purpose open doors into fascinating worlds that other travel agencies seem hardly to know about.

The week spent in Romania with Barbara and Christophe was truly inspiring. They are an incredible couple and to have had the opportunity to get to know them and their vision thanks to Journeys with Purpose was the greatest privilege.

OUR FOCUS - THE IBERÁ NATIONAL PARK:

This extraordinary wetland, the largest in Argentina, is home to 30% of the biodiversity in the country including endangered species such as the pampas and marsh deer, the maned wolf and grassland birds like the strange-tailed tyrant.

In 2005, what was to become one of the largest rewilding programs in the Americas was started, with the goal of restoring keystone species that had been extirpated from Iberá through hunting and habitat loss and were extinct in the region, the Province or, in some cases, the country. 

As the rewilding program developed, the cultural identity of Iberá began to recover alongside the ecosystems and natural processes, impacting a total population of 100,000 people who surround the park.

Today, Iberá stands as one of the world’s most successful ongoing conservation missions.
