About us

We started in 2003 as a small, family run business, trying to offer what we love best: hiking, trekking and life in Romanian villages.

Nowadays, we still are a small business, but we have enlarged our field of activities, due to new experiences and the fact that our team grew, as we cooperate with specialized persons (also good friends of ours) for different activities.

Meanwhile, we have participated, as exhibitors, at some international tourism fairs.
