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.”

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.
