TRAVEL WITH PURPOSE
COVID-19 travel updates
Traveling with TWP Tours to one of Trees, Water & People’s projects in Central America, Cuba, or the Lakota Nation in Pine Ridge, South Dakota, gives you the chance to see the world from a new perspective, share your skills and knowledge, and learn from a new culture.
Our tours will place you off-the-beaten-path seeing Trees, Water & People’s work firsthand and engaging closely with community leaders, local staff, and our partners. Not only will you experience a unique slice of our global community, you will have the opportunity to get your hands dirty and take part in our projects while learning about how Trees, Water & People works with the real champions for a sustainable future – the people living in our most critical ecosystems.
We invite you to travel with us on a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to directly impact lives and rural communities for generations to come. Join TWP Tours on an impact tour and see how you can make a difference!
Meaningful exchange with local people
TWP Tours works in small communities, for communities, and with communities to implement all projects. We aim for meaningful and authentic exchange (both structured and unstructured) between locals and our participants.
Eco-tourism with a purpose
TWP Tours centers around high-impact, community-based development projects. Whether installing clean cook stoves, increasing access to renewable energy, or reforesting degraded landscapes, your work will reflect needs articulated by community leaders and will ensure continued sustainable growth.
Safe, sustainable, and fun
Safety, sustainability, and fun are paramount to the TWP Tours experience. We take great care both in our office and in the field to make sure that every aspect of your experience meets these benchmarks.
“I can't say enough about the quality of the staff: organized, committed, knowledgeable, and talented. We were well taken care of, and the staff used the depth of their relationships with community members to connect us with their local projects and people. I am perpetually impressed with the operations of TWP on the ground. Philosophically and operationally, it is an exceptional organization, and true to which I remain committed. The communities we visited, particularly La bendicion and La Trinidad displayed courage, commitment, and strength that I will remember always. The trip experience was fulfilling, inspirational, with varied pace and high interest always. I am not sure whether I was able to contribute much, but I certainly gain immeasurably thanks to all: Gem, Valentine and Daniela; Diane and all out TWP colleagues back in FC; our fellow travelers who enriched our time; and the communities and in-country partners who were extraordinary. The entire TWP endeavour represents "hopefulness" in the face of much of the contrary. I am proud to be associated with TWP and the TWP team.” —Paul Thayer

Help us make an impact!
We know the profound impact of travel – particularly interculturally-focused travel – on young people. It can literally change the course of their lives and careers. However, this kind of life-changing experience is usually outside the means of students from lower-income backgrounds.
