National Geographic Expeditions and G Adventures have announced the addition of three new destinations to their National Geographic Family Journeys with G Adventures program. The new family-focused trips will explore Ecuador, Mexico and Spain, bringing the total number of family journeys to 19.

The expanded offerings aim to provide culturally immersive experiences for families, combining learning and adventure in notable global settings. Each itinerary features activities inspired by National Geographic's expertise in photography, storytelling, wildlife, culture, history and exploration.
