Careers at Pura Aventura
Working with Pura Aventura
We've been designing thoughtful trips through Central & South America, Portugal, and Spain since 1999. Most of us work hybrid between home, travels, and our office by the sea in Brighton.
Locally-rooted hosts are at the heart of every trip we create. Our network of trust helps us build travel experiences rich in personality, grounded in nature, and filled with the character of the communities our clients visit. Corporate hotel chains and scripted smiles make way for genuine local connections and the unfiltered joy of a truly warm welcome.
There's a reason our trips don't look like other companies' – they aren't.
Our Travel Positive™ sustainability work has been called one of the travel industry's most ambitious
by The Independent, and we're one of the UK's first travel B Corps.
If this sounds like somewhere you'd want to work, we'd like to hear from you.
