Our Core Values

We at Indico Travels have traveled far and wide and believe that travel can be the most exciting and rewarding experience in the world.  

We believe everyone should feel empowered to visit their dream destination, regardless whether their friends or partner can join them. Indico Travels tours give you the opportunity to mix the benefits of an adventurous trip with the company, comfort and security that comes with going on a group trip. Get to know new people and potential future travel buddies while you explore the world with like-minded people!

Sina is the founder of Indico Travels. Having lived in a total of five countries in Europe and South America, she is a huge fan of diving into new cultures and connecting with locals. She has travelled to nearly all continents by herself, including traveling to the "End of the World" in southernmost Argentina. As a solo travel expert, Sina loves to share tips and encourage others to set out on their own adventure. Sometimes, though, she did wish she could travel with others over 30 (which are not so easily found in youth hostels!). That's why she decided to make her passion for travel her profession, and created Indico Travels, with the aim of bringing people like her together to go on unforgettable group adventures. 

Every element of our trips is designed to maximize your experience as a traveller in your 30s or 40s. For example when you stay in a city, we'll pick hotels that are within safe walking distance to local bars. We also know you are on a break from a busy work schedule, so we make sure to give you some time out where you decide yourself whether you want to take part in optional activities or put your feet up. 

Our trips always include a range of experiences - from getting muddy to enjoying infinity pools, from learning about the country's history to sampling the local liquor, as we believe variety makes for the most memorable vacation. We'll always introduce you to locals to get to know the country through their eyes, in a way you perhaps couldn't when organising a trip yourself. For example in Lisbon, we are invited by local friends for a rooftop dinner at their house, or in Sri Lanka we stay in a remote village overnight. 

Traveling responsibly is very important to us - which is why we do the research and planning needed to make the trip fair for the environment, animals and local communities, so that you can travel with a good conscience. We compensate the CO2 emissions of our trips - including your international flights - and stick to certain rules we have set ourselves, for example not taking internal flights if the route could be completed by a different mode of transport within 6 hours. Check out our responsibility page and our core values for more information!

Travel responsibly with Indico Travels

Discovering the world shouldn't damage it. That’s why your trips with Indico Travels adhere to specific sustainability guidelines we set ourselves. Susana, our CSR responsible, gives you more details in this video.
You can find more information at the tab "what we stand for" in the about-us dropdown above.

Click here to find out the CO2 emissions of each trip (including international flights).

CO2 emissions for your entire trip (hotel, excursions, etc.) are compensated by an international Gold Standard project. We have also decided to offset the CO2 emissions for your arrival and departure flights, even if these are not booked through us. Since our travellers come from all over the world and the individual calculation would be complex, we compensate for a return flight from Frankfurt am Main, Germany, for each traveller, including expected stopovers. The climate protection project that we support in Asia has been approved by ACT and creates renewable energy for the local grid. Get in touch if you'd like more details!

Your trip is CO2 compensated

Our parent company Ventura TRAVEL founded the VSocial Foundation in 2005. The vision of this foundation is to bring about positive change in the communities we support by encouraging people to benefit from sustainable tourism. The aim is to strengthen communities, to preserve their cultural richness and to accompany them on their way to self-administration. Ventura TRAVEL supports the VSocial Foundation with more than €120,000 every year. On Indico Travels' Colombia trip, for example, you'll visit a VSocial project on the Street Art Tour through Medellín's Comuna 13.

Ventura TRAVEL supports the VSocial foundation

We strive for sustainability in our travel planning. For example, we avoid domestic flights during our travels - we only take them if the alternative route would take more than 6 hours. Additionally, where possible, we choose local-run accommodations to keep our expenditure within the country. We pay particular attention to animal welfare and don't engage in activities that could stress animals. For example, we avoid taking part in elephant bathing, as the animals have to be dominated by their handlers for this. And where possible, we take other sustainable options  -  for example on our Vietnam & Cambodia trip, you can always fill your own water bottle with clean drinking water from a canister.

Your trip is built with sustainability in mind

Respect for human rights in tourism is a major concern. As an active member of the Round Table on Human Rights in Tourism for many years, we verify that for all our trips, our partners respect the legal provisions in terms of wages and employment, especially for young people. We also support the "Don't look away" campaign, which aims to protect children in their vacation destinations from sexual abuse and exploitation.

Your trip respects human rights

The award is organized by the non-profit organization kate Environment & Development in cooperation with Tourcert.

Our sister brand is a great example

Flexi offers additional flexibility, but it is not travel insurance. For full peace of mind, we recommend residents of the European Union and Switzerland to purchase travel insurance with our insurance partner HanseMerkur. Please note that the selected insurance will apply to all travelers.

Travel insurance covering a minimum of trip cancelation, emergency repatriation, and medical expenses is highly recommended for your trip.
