History
LocalAventura was founded to become the easiest and most authentic way to travel to Latin America. Co-founders Andrea Vidler and Eugena Brown met as MBA students at The Wharton School. Together, in an entrepreneurship class, the two considered and tested various business ideas, yet it was just something about LocalAventura the two founders kept coming back to. The two noticed that most booking platforms didn't vet and interview their guides, leaving it up to chance for travelers to find a truly great tour. Gena noticed how hard it was to find that off-the-beaten-path experience she was searching for. Drea saw firsthand how difficult it was for people to start their own businesses and gain economic empowerment. Thus, LocalAventura was born to solve these disparities while making a social impact in Latin America.
