Lokal Travel, a platform that allows intrepid travelers to book immersive local experiences and adventures around the world has launched an incredible Indiegogo campaign. From November 12-December 12, 2017, the campaign is offering extraordinary travel adventures that will help Lokal launch in ten new countries and support 1,000 inspiring local business. It is a brilliant concept and as a traveler who has experienced one of Lokal’s life-changing trips this past January to the Osa Peninsula of Costa Rica, I am getting itchy feet just sitting here reading about the amazing deals!
From expeditions in the Amazon with indigenous guides to stays in family-run guesthouses in the Himalayas, Lokal makes it easy to book hundreds of incredible trips that support local livelihoods, protect nature and preserve cultural traditions. Better yet, at Lokal over 80% of every dollar you spend goes directly to independent, locally-run and vetted travel businesses who are creating amazing experiences and real benefits for communities. Pretty fantastic!
Here is more information on this exciting sale and a few of my photos from my past trip to get you wanting to click on over now and book your next adventure.
Canoeing down a private lagoon was one of the many highlights I had during my week in the Osa.
Lokal Travel handpicks adventures that offer a genuine chance to experience local life. For example, you can canoe through a private lagoon in the Costa Rican rainforest or learn a traditional Cambodian musical instrument from a local master or staying in a handcrafted eco lodge with the Lisu Hill Tribe of northern Thailand. Lokal’s growing network of local partners and trusted communities offer one-of-a-kind experiences.

About Lokal Travel:
“We’ve built a platform where travelers can discover and book experiences that directly support local livelihoods, protect natural wonders and preserve cultural traditions. There are plenty of sites for booking chain hotels, bus tours or empty apartments – we think it should be just as easy to book expeditions through the Amazon with indigenous guides or stays in community-run lodges in the Andes.” – Lokal Travel
Why choose Lokal Travel?
Lokal represents a unique kind of travel opportunity to experience local life in untouched, remote and rural areas around the world. Places that most travelers would never ever dream of experiencing and a much needed income to preserve a way of life. All trips work to support local communities by putting money directly into the hands of locals and supporting work to preserve natural and cultural heritage. Generally, only 5% of money spent by tourism around the world goes back into local hands however with Lokal Travel 80% of the money is reinvested back into the community. It is a fantastic way to promote sustainable, responsible travel.

Nicole, I am REALLY interested in this opportunity. Can we talk sometime early next week? You can find my email on my blog.
Wonderful! I actually am leaving for Chile on Monday 😌 so if we can talk this week or weekend that would be great! My email is thirdeyemom@yahoo.com. I loved my trip with Lokal!
I’ll have to give this a closer look. Too bad I just booked a whole Ecuador trip for January – this might have been good for my sister and me. Next time!
Yes, it is such a great company and they have amazing trips all over the world.
Thanks so much Nicole. I will be researching this further.
Great!
