Passion Behind the Path

A Vision of Tourism Reimagined

Merakiva Travel was founded out of a belief that travel is not just an opportunity but a privilege. As a generation with the freedom to roam the world, we can immerse ourselves in the richness of history and archaeology, provided they’re told in a way that captivates and engages.  Through those stories we can connect to new people and unlock something in ourselves.

A New Way to Wander

Turning the Past into Present Experiences

Travel isn’t just about seeing new sights; it’s about experiencing new perspectives. Our tours are built around the belief that the past has fascinating stories to tell. We create experiences that don’t just show you a place but let you feel it, connect with it, and carry it with you. Our trips are where strangers come together to write their own stories.

Featured Destination

Spain

Andalucia

Andalucía is a region where diverse landscapes meet rich history. From the sun-drenched beaches to the rugged Sierra Nevada, the area offers a variety of natural scenes. Cities like Granada, Málaga, and Córdoba, are home to impressive historical sites and vibrant nightlives. The white-washed villages scattered across the beaches and mountains offer a glimpse into a slower-paced, traditional lifestyle.

While the area is steeped in history, there’s a modern vibe in its bustling streets and markets. Andalucía provides a mix of experiences, making it an inviting destination for those seeking both heritage and natural beauty.

Upcoming Trips

An exploration of Spain’s historical sites, mountainous landscapes, and beaches, with stargazing and other cultural activities.
