Duurzaamheid Ons duurzaamheidsbeleid Duurzaamheid en de verantwoordelijkheden die daarmee gepaard gaan, hebben een prominente plek ingenomen bij onze activiteiten. Sinds 1995 hebben onze touroperator klanten duizenden tevreden klanten genoten van onze diensten, gastvrijheid en bovenal reisgeluk! Toerisme heeft invloed op bestemmingen - dat kunnen we niet ontkennen. De drang om een proactieve positie in te nemen voor verantwoord ondernemen waarbij alle partijen baat hebben; of het nu de klant, de leverancier of de lokale gemeenschap is waar we nieuwe wegen in reizen inslaan. Het is die visie - teruggeven aan gemeenschappen, het goede doel steunen en het zorgvuldig selecteren van partners in onze handel - die dat voordelige voordeel geeft bij het kiezen voor JBC-Agencies. Bij het samenstellen van de reizen houden we rekening met mensen, milieu, natuur en cultuur, zodat de vakantie niet alleen bijzonder is voor de consument, maar ook voor de komende generaties, en onze lokale partners en hun dierbaren. Onze lokale partners organiseren alleen excursies die uitgevoerd worden met respect voor mens, milieu en dier. Of het nu gaat om vakanties waarbij men geniet van ongerepte natuur, de lokale cultuur beleeft, nieuwe mensen ontmoet of een heerlijk lokaal gerecht proeft; samen met onze lokale partner kantoren werken we samen aan reisprogramma’s die zorgen voor betere plekken en mooiere ervaringen. Daarmee leveren we een belangrijke bijdrage aan duurzame ontwikkelingen in het land. Dit respecteren en iets teruggeven aan de maatschappij heeft een belangrijke rol gespeeld in ons streven om alleen voetafdrukken achter te laten en alleen herinneringen mee te nemen.

Cuba Ecuador is a country of amazing contrasts! Pass the white peaks of the Andes, the Amazon rainforest, the bustling markets of colonial towns and the bounty beaches of the Pacific coast. Or visit the beautiful Galapagos Islands, a paradise on earth. Traveling around Ecuador is extraordinary. Beautiful weather, but in the dry season it is the best time to make a beautiful tour in Ecuador. In the Galapagos Islands you will find the most unique flora and fauna and not only that but also the wonderful beaches around it. Ecuador has 15 cities and Quito is the capital of them. In Quito you can visit Basilica del Voto Nacional, this church is considered the most beautiful church in South America. You can also take a ride in the TeleferiQo, to the top of the Cruz Loma. Ecuador is the second smallest country in South America, but has a lot of diverse nature. This allows you to see many different things in a short time. Domestic flights? Taxis? Car rental? The bus? In Ecuador it is all possible, whatever you think is the best transport. Book a tour or a group tour and explore beautiful Ecuador. Grab your world plug and off to Ecuador!

Cuba Cuba que linda es Cuba! Perfect weather. Pristine waters. Spectacular scenery. Rising architecture. Exotic wildlife. Exuberant nightlife. And a striking parade of vintage cars. This is not just an island getaway: this is Cuba. The diverse geography includes rolling farmland, rugged mountains, urban metropolises, quaint colonial villages, and white-sand beaches. The island is divided into 15 provinces with Havana as the capital. Cuba seems to have been lost in time, somewhere in the 1950s. It's not just the old American cars in the streets or the beautiful colonial architecture with peeling paint in Old Havana. Instead, it's a sense that the world of modern tourism has somehow largely bypassed the Caribbean's largest island. Music and dance play a major role in the life of the Cubans. You can find it everywhere, in bars, restaurants, clubs, even on the street. The island is 1250 kilometers from east to west and is perfect for self drive tours, tours with domestic flights or private driver guide (group) tours. Explore this exciting destination, world famous for its cigars and rum! “Trinidad is amazing and vibrant. During our first acquaintance with this charming town, I made one big mistake: I was wearing my flip flops. Huge mistake! But why? The streets of Trinidad are littered with cobblestones! I had my sneakers on for the next walk, of course.”

Tailor-made Tailor-made or tailor-made trips are one of the specialties of JBC-Agencies. We listen carefully to the key words that a trip must meet and can easily translate our experience into the many possibilities that Cuba, Colombia, Panama and Costa Rica have to offer. Our focus is not on what we think is beautiful, but what is most interesting for the end customer and gives the best result in the long run. All this, of course, at a good price-quality ratio. We try to offer tailor-made products as competitively as possible, where we also think along in the promotion of the product and we also offer any promotional campaigns. Thanks to our good understanding and long-standing relationships with our offices, we can offer a high level of service and the end customer is excellently guided during their journey. Various tailor-made options are available; think of, for example, independent travelers who go out with a rental car, couples traveling together, a dance group looking for a swinging cultural trip, but budget groups are also welcome. For every request, we draw from our extensive range of excursions, forms of transport, hotels, special accommodations and luxury products, in order to provide a suitable offer.

Colombia A great destination with snow peaks, deep tropical waters and colonial cities. Colombia is the entrance to the South American continent. Located between two oceans and the Amazon in the south, this country shows an enormous variety of nature and culture. The only risk is wanting to stay! While the nature is great, don't miss out on the cities: Vibrant and lively Colombia has some of the best urban culture and nightlife in Latin America. The gold museum of Bogotá, the gastronomic district of Medellin and the salsa clubs of Cali are all worth a visit. A country as large and varied as Colombia has many sights and regions worth visiting and it will take a lot of time and planning. Colombia can be roughly divided into the Amazon, Andes, Caribbean, Orinoco and Pacific regions. Air travel is convenient between different regions. In the regions themselves, customers can easily travel with group or individual tours, connected by private and collective transfers (with or without guide) illuminated by beautiful excursions and comfortable hotels. For the latest trend of travel in Colombia, we can arrange adventurous flexi-drive packages. The climate varies little in Colombia, lots of sunshine all year round. There are no significant seasons and temperature is mainly determined by altitude. The best time to visit is between December and February, but this is also holiday season for the Colombians! “Bogota what a city, with more than 7 million inhabitants! I thought it would be nice to leave in the morning by car. Forget it: the amount of traffic jams to get out of the city are huge! And in Colombian. Rent a car to discover Colombia a little on the outskirts of the city or near the airport”

Panama Panama, still the best kept secret! Panama is located in Central America, with coastlines on either side, the Caribbean Sea and the North Pacific Ocean, with Colombia (and South America) to the southeast and Costa Rica (and North America) in the northwest. It is strategically located and forms a land bridge connecting North and South America. It is known for the Panama Canal, which connects the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. But Panama is much more than a canal. This narrow land bridge in Central America has beautiful landscapes, a rich culture and endless tourist activities. Activities such as rainforest tours, surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, hiking, bird watching and more. Panama has more species of birds and trees than all of North America. Panama is one of the most attractive destinations in tourism, which is developing rapidly. In Panama City you can enjoy world class dining, nightlife, casinos and shopping. Distances are negligible. In just one week, visitors can enjoy two different oceans, experience the mountains and rainforest, and learn about indigenous cultures. Drive the Pan-American Highway to visit many highlights or take a domestic flight. The Panamanians are a mixture of different cultures. Most notable are the Kuna Indians, original inhabitants with their own Kuna Yala territory. Enjoy their beautiful islands 'Archipiélago de San Blas' and their colorful appearance. Panama has a tropical maritime climate with a warm, humid rainy season (May to December) and a short dry season (January to May). Temperatures are mainly determined by altitude. In the highlands of Central Panama and Chiríqui there is always a spring climate. The slopes on the Caribbean side usually receive more rainfall than the slopes on the Pacific side. The rainy season usually means: a sudden big shower and it is dry again. “Panama is an ideal country to travel through with a rental car. The cars and roads are excellent and distances are fine and you can leave your car anywhere and travel back on a flight." During my trip I asked a Panamanian why the local road users don't give directions and suddenly turn off. His answer was: 'We assume that everyone takes into account whoever drives in front of them, if we all do that it will always be fine.'
