Acanela Expeditions
Travel & Events
Acanela is a boutique travel outfit with a social impact, leading experiential & educational expeditions around the Globe. Our main areas of focus include Study Abroad Programs, Incentive Trips, Corporate Retreats, and Boutique Group Travel focusing on culinary arts, photography, design, and adventure. Each Acanela Expedition is inspired by an artist in a developing nation. Our artists include women with families who are battling against poverty, men who have lost their jobs due to disaster or disease, or individuals who have never had the opportunity to receive a formal education. These artists have incredible talents and abilities, but often lack the resources to share them with the world. Our mission is to discover these men and women, help them develop as individuals, and empower them to build their own micro-enterprises. Our unique Artisan Expeditions incorporate instructional classes from these artists & other locals, giving them a means to monetize their skills.
