Our genesis

A passion that became a profession.

Tristan Martin did not arrive in Central America by chance. After several years spent in the travel industry on the production and marketing side, he discovered this region of the world during a personal trip that transformed his vision of the profession.

What he found there wasn't listed in any brochure: the density of the green, the richness of Maya civilizations, the humanity of the encounters, a still untouched nature, and above all, a mosaic of nine countries — From Mexico to the Dominican Republic — each with its own personality, landscapes, and way of life.

«I wanted to make a career out of this journey. And I wanted this career to reflect these countries: demanding, humane, respectful of life.»

Toucan Discovery S.R.L. was born in 2023 from this conviction: The best trip is not the one that sells the fastest, but the one we build with high standards, with real knowledge of the terrain.. Today, the agency designs tailor-made programs in the 9 Central American countries, from Mexico to the Caribbean—for travelers who want more than a destination, and for professionals seeking a local partner they can truly trust.
