In nearly every corner of Central and South America, Holbrook Travel’s roots run deep. This part of the world has held a special place for us, ever since company founder Giovanna Holbrook led teams of university professors and naturalists on expeditions to the Galápagos Islands before a modern tourism infrastructure existed there. In 1984, she took her love for ecotourism a step further and saved 500 acres of Costa Rican rainforest from destruction, creating Selva Verde Lodge and Rainforest Reserve, which has become in many ways our home away from home.
