A group of 6 women (2 are Black, on the far left and right, with 4 Caucasian women in the middle) stand atop a snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, with three Black men sitting in the front. They are holding a sign that reads "Women Climb Kili" and they are in front of the "Mount Kilimanjaro: Congratulations" sign post - the text is bright yellow. It's a sunny and cloudy day.

Amazing experience with Yugen Earthside for my Kilimanjaro climb and safari! An unforgettable experience in Tanzania with extremely attentive and kind staff. The practices were ethical and environmentally conscious. I would highly recommend!

Rolling green vineyards in Portugal's Douro Valley with a blue sky in the background.

This was an amazing self guided walking trip to Portugal's Douro Valley vineyard country. What really made this trip awesome was Yugen Earthside. These people are incredible with their first rate customer service and attention to detail. We would give them 10 stars out of 5. So if anyone is contemplating any type of sustainable walking/biking trips to any of the incredible locations throughout the world, please do yourself a big favor and contact Yugen Earthside.

I organized a retreat for my community and this trip exceeded all my expectations and then some! There’s something for everyone, from yoga sessions, nature trails, coastal hikes, and walking to town. The best experience was the sustainable winery tour!!

I would 100% recommend this trip for any active group or retreat organizer.
