I absolutely loved the trip with Rise and Etnica Travel! It was beyond my expectations and everything we experienced was beautiful well thought out and fantastic.

My time in Yucatan with RISE and Etnica was absolutely magical. From start to finish, the trip overflowed with special moments that will stay with me forever. The highlights included feasting on freshly caught ceviche at the dreamy Isla Columpios, learning about the community-led tourism initiatives at Ek Balam, and immersing ourselves in the mangrove ecosystems of Rio Lagartos. But what truly made this experience so unforgettable was the RISE community. Sharing these moments with like-minded, thoughtful travelers created an extra layer of meaning and connection. Learning from one another as we explored the region's ecosystems and interacted with local communities was enriching. The care and respect that RISE travelers have for the places they visit was heartening to witness. I feel like I have a new group of friends who I deeply resonate with and feel connected to and I cannot be more grateful!

The best travel experience I've had. Blended the best of community travel while still remaining a guided all inclusive tours. I reflected with my partner afterwards that this would be the ideal way to travel every time we could.
