Founded by a Maya archaeologist in 1982, Far Horizons specializes in upscale, educational tours throughout the world. For the first decade, our trips tended to highlight the archaeology of the Maya World, but as the years have passed our destinations have expanded to include most of the world.
With more than 40 years in the travel business and extensive first-hand knowledge of our destinations, we are able to provide unparalleled individual attention, starting with the first phone call or email until you return home, a happy and enriched traveler. Savor close-up attention from our PhD study leaders who are with you from the first day of the tour until the last – 24/7. We are proud that our learning vacations offer a rich educational experience, camaraderie with fellow travelers who share similar interests, and of course, a healthy dose of fun.
The adventure, education, conviviality of like-minded travelers, and a new understanding of the world’s cultures, both past and present, have given us an 85% return rate of intellectually curious travelers who explore with Far Horizons again and again.
Our original founder, Mary Dell Lucas, said it well “Our contacts who work in each country open doors for our groups, and help make each of our trips unique and memorable. As our frequent travelers know, our itineraries proudly reflect this winning combination as well as being led by a PhD specialist who reveals the secrets and solves the mysteries of the countries we explore. Our years of experience, proven logistical capabilities, outstanding scholars, and exceptional familiarity of the most remote areas and cultures make Far Horizons the ideal travel company to assist you in your journey.”
