Peter Rohmer has founded the company in 1993. His vast range of experiences and knowledge, gathered from living in several countries, particularly in Brazil for over 25 years, has strongly influenced his philosophy about how to travel best in this exuberant and fascinating country, called Brazil. Believing that natural and cultural highlights are certainly a must to be visited, he stresses the fact that it is the face to face contact at the hidden places, off the beaten tracks, that provides the unique sensation of an experience that one makes only few times in a life. This is truly the case if you talk about a country that seems to possess unlimited natural beauty by contrast.
The Amazonian lowlands, the Atlantic Coastal Rainforests, the subtropical High Sierras of the south, or the Pantanal wetlands, are only some of the highlights the adventurous traveller doesn't stop dreaming of. Not to forget spontaneous encounters with multiracial cultures in the backcountry, joining in their traditional feasts, experiencing their exotic food and drinks and last but not least, the making of good friends, are other indispensable components of an unforgettable Brazilian voyage.
Southern Cross Tours & Expeditionen is a rather small travel operator with a staff of only three.
