About Bella Treks

Bella Treks offers adventures for healthy minded, retired, semi-retired, groups, singles, boomers and couples who love the serendipity and thrill of exploring the world. We create customized travel itineraries that match your goals and dreams without taxing your budget or safety, and always including creature comforts.

Bella Treks is dedicated to using excellent guides, finding charming hotels, enjoying fabulous meals, viewing amazing mountains and birds, voyaging down rivers and trails, exposing our clients to foreign cultures and languages and making your travel dreams a reality. When not guiding clients, Bella Treks is personally researching our destinations, 'jumping off the bridge' so to speak, so we can bring you first-hand knowledge about 'how deep the water is'.
 

With degrees in Anthropology, Education and Spanish, Felicia began her adventures as a teacher and guide in Mexico and Chile.  Fifteen years later, with many stamps in her passport and friends around the globe, she is more inspired by all that remains to be seen and experienced.  She created Bella Treks as a vehicle to share the beauty and magic of the special places she has traveled and as a way to connect people, countries and cultures.

If your travel visions include the wind swept spires of the Torres del Paine in Chile, Machu Picchu in Peru, the marching penguins in Antarctica, fly-fishing in Montana or anything in between—it’s a BIG world out there! Contact Bella Treks and we'll help make those dreams a reality.

Over the last decade, Dave German has led naturalists, photographers, historians, hikers, scientists, climbers, artists, and numerous high-end travellers to Antarctica doing everything imaginable. In addition, German has designed and led ship-based programs to South Georgia and the Falkland Islands, Brazilian and Peruvian Amazons, Coastal South and Central America and other remote regions around the world. 









Cloe Medina Erickson

Morocco was destined to be a part of Cloe Medina Erickson’s life. Named after the country’s medieval markets (medina) it is only fitting that she speaks Arabic and holds a Master of Architecture with a specialization in historic preservation. Combining these passions Cloe collaborates with locals in the Central High Atlas Mountains of Morocco on sustainable community development projects. Her intimate knowledge of the culture and close relationships with the locals guarantees an authentic Moroccan experience.





Jonathan Leidich

Jonathan Leidich came to Chile with a vision of wilderness in his head and a desire to climb peaks. Twenty years later he has left his adopted homeland physically, but his heart and soul remain in Patagonia forever. Jonathan has logged over 1900 days on the Patagonian Ice Fields. Importantly he is the lead consultant to the Congress of Chile on the development of the Ice Fields. Jonathan owns and maintains his two sustainable ranches based on the art of permaculture. He breeds the Chilean Criollo,  goats, sheep, and produces vegetable gardens in order to provide the most local organic, and tasty food to all that travel with him.
He developed and maintains the Aysen Glacier trail.










Mustapha

Mustapha speaks Arabic, French, Berber and English, holds a PhD, and specializes in the sustainable preservation of the Berber culture. Through his efforts, the Moroccan National Library is donating books for the library project and will train locals on the management of the library. Mustapha will join us in the Ait Bouguemz and Zawiya Ahansal and complement our experiences with his deep knowledge of the local culture.
