Global Basecamps in Encinitas's Old Encinitas district is a sustainable-tourism operator founded in 2005 on South Coast Highway 101, designing custom eco-travel itineraries to Africa, Asia, South America, and Central America. The company builds adventure-forward trips around Inca Trail treks, Tanzanian safaris, and Japanese ryokan stays, pairing that expedition ethos with the cycling and outdoor-gear knowledge at RIDE Cyclery - Encinitas for clients adding North County activity days. Every itinerary routes booking revenue through independent lodges and community-run excursion providers, a supply-chain model designed to keep tourism dollars inside the destination economy. The operator covers Peru's Salkantay and Lares routes, Uganda gorilla permits, Morocco desert camps, and Galapagos small-ship cruises, with visiting clients often staging pre-departure nights at coastal boutique stays including Surfhouse on the 101. Highest-tier packages combine multi-country overland routing with chartered bush flights, tented-camp permits, and CITES-compliant wildlife-viewing protocols across three or more East African national parks.
