Adrenalina Tours was founded in 1997 by the Belgian Patrick Eric Vercoutere . Before Patrick came to Guatemala he created a project for street children in Colombia, where he lived and worked for 12 years. He has a wide travel experience in South and Central America. He travelled through Brazil, Colombia , Honduras, Mexico and Guatemala. Patrick speaks Dutch, English, Spanish.
In 2004 Pieter Bas van Duuren from the Netherlands joined Adrenalina Tours. Pieter Bas lived and worked in Guatemala for ove rtwo years – first as part of his study, later in the tourism industry. He strengthens our team with his broad experience in tourism and travelling within Central America.
Adrenalina Tours works with young Quetzaltecos, some of which have been part of the team since the beginning, and while others have recently joined our company. Other employees work independently for Adrenalina Tours, such as drivers and guides. Adrenalina Tours only (and intentionally) works with local people and ensures that they are continuously trained in the areas of anthropology, archaeology, history, and first-aid. They have also learned how to speak English. Our team consists of the General Manager (Patrick), the Operat manager (Victor), four drivers / guides (Selvin, Pedro, Eli, Erick), one head of sales (Rodrigo), one volcano guide (Edwin) and one bookkeeper (Edgard). We also work together with the International University of Tourism in Breda, The Netherlands. We receive students who can fulfill their placement with us.
