The theme of new expedition travel outfitters Gift of Go (GOGO) is “Adventures without Tourism,” and the launch is a spectacular journey into the remote Serra do Espinhaço region of Brazil. Between March and September, travelers can choose from 14-, 21- or 28-day curated Diamonds/Wild Tales + Lost Trails expeditions for small groups limited to eight participants.

“We are living in the Golden Age of picture-perfect places, carefully-crafted ‘authenticity,’ and Readily-collectible ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ experiences,” said Eddie Lott, cofounder, GOGO. “GOGO trips are different — in our minds, there is simply nothing more compelling, profound, or enriching than experiencing real life in a world far from our own. Our shared mission as an expedition — to explore a place to the absolute fullest within a limited timeframe — is ambitious, but it’s also what makes our journeys epic.”

Accompanied by a crew of 10-plus travel experts and expedition leaders, travelers have the opportunity to discover the UNESCO World Heritage City of Diamantina, colonial-era mining towns, small agricultural communities, enchanting railway towns, graceful historic villas and backcountry settlements called quilombos.

Bushwhacking, horseback riding, off-roading, trekking and cultural immersion are all part of the journey. Itineraries are divided into chapters, with the Diamond trip including The Serra (Mountains), The Garden (Hinterland), The Sertão (lowlands) and The Berço (the cradle). Accommodations include a mix of homestays, historic inns, wilderness campsites, pousada, lodges and historic homes.

Oct 14, 2026Time Travel: The World’s Best Aviation Museums Let Visitors Fly Into the Past
The desire to fly is lodged deep in the human psyche. Aside from the common dream of being airborne, references abound in old tales and myths. In the epic poem Shahnameh by long-ago Persian poet Ferdowsi, the fabled King Kai-Káús possessed a flying throne that was drawn into the sky and held aloft by a team of colossal eagles. Built of gold and wood, this throne craft may not have been aerodynamic in design or particularly comfortable to travel in, but it managed to bear the daring king all the way to China.

Oct 14, 2026Bed Bugs on Planes? Rare, But It Just Happened …
It’s a traveler’s worst nightmare: bed bugs. The insect’s name suggests they are limited to beds, meaning the worry is restricted solely to homes, hotels, vacation rentals and any other place we could possibly rest our heads. But, on planes? Well, bed bugs have and do indeed infiltrate the fabrics of even these seats, despite many of us not actually getting any rest on a plane.

Oct 12, 2026The Quest for Quiet: Choose the Best Noise-Canceling Headsets to Suit Your Travel Style
Back in the 1990s, when I was traveling on my airline pilot father’s standby passes, there weren’t many ways for passengers to cancel ambient noise while in flight. I remember squishing and twisting little yellow pairs of foam earplugs with my fingers and letting them rise in my ears while I swirled ice around in my Pawberry Punch and ripped open a cold pouch of Delta-branded Biscoff cookies. Much has changed in travel technology since those days; and although I’ll forever miss Dusty the Delta Air Lion, I’m happy to report no more need for plastic ear foam.
