Real journeys, made with real people

Our manifesto

Travelling is finding who we are out there.

The agency was born from the wish to show Brazil and the world with more time and more presence. We travel in small groups, alongside the people who live the destination, with itineraries planned down to every detail. That care is what turns a trip into a lifetime memory.

Ana Carms, fundadora da Ana Carms Expedições
The founder

Hi, I'm Ana 🌿

It all started when I was 19, in a moment when I felt quite lost: a new city, the beginning of depression, uncertain ground. It was on a first hike, sitting on a lookout over a canyon for the first time, that I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time: life.

That's where the phrase that became my compass was born, and today it is the heart of this agency: nature heals.

From a girl who found herself through travel and nature, I became someone who invites people to live what nature did for me. There were many learnings and connections along the way, until Ana Carms Expeditions was born: the most personal place I've ever created, made with a lot of love, faith and purpose.

I started alone, with 3 expeditions in one year. Today we are dozens of people on the team and hundreds of families impacted by community-based tourism. Every trip here carries a little piece of this story... and it's a huge joy when someone decides to be part of it with us.

 Ana, with love

The team

A passionate team behind every expedition.

The agency carries the name Ana Carms, but what makes every trip happen is an entire team: guides, photographers, in-house members and local partners who know every trail, every corner and every story of the places we visit.

This is the group that walks by your side from the first to the last day, opening the door to communities and turning the itinerary into a lasting memory.

We believe in tourism that strengthens family-run guesthouses, community guides, local kitchens and stories that only the people who live there can tell. Travelling with Ana Carms means being part of that network.
