Come as Strangers Leave as Amigas!
Meet Mariza
Hola, I’m founder of Mariza’s Amigas On Tour y estoy muy excited that you’re here! For the past 10 + years I’ve been traveling collecting passport stamps and the older I got the harder it was to convince friends to travel with me. So, I created Amigas On Tour. We’re a group of women coming together to travel and explore the world. We come as strangers and leave as Amigas!
Vamonos! I invite you to join me and your new group of travel Amigas as we visit some of the most amazing travel destinations while making lifelong memories together.
We’ll meet you at the airport!
Meet Vio
Your tour leader with a passion for exploration and a keen eye for photography. Born in Guatemala, Vio moved to Los Angeles in 2019, her passion for photography, nature, culture, people and food has led her to be part of our team.
Cuando Vio no está viajando leading a group, she likes to do magic with her camera, dance salsa, spend time with her family/pets and discover new places with a cafecito.
Vio is thrilled to take you back to her home country and show you all its beauty it have to offer. Get ready to explore Guatemala together!
Meet Andreina
Pialli! Hola! Soy Andreina, your Amiga that travels with heart intention. A donde sea que vaya me verás queriendo aprender de la gente. It was when I first traveled out of the country (not Mexico, that’s home lol) when I discovered the magic about it. La magia que te conoces a ti misma. To me, the magic of traveling is learning about myself across meeting the people, traditions, foods, stories and energy of the lands. Traveling also challenges my fears, my thoughts and reminds me of what is important in my life. I travel to relax too but sometimes I can’t help but to really soak in the energies of the land and people. All of my senses are immersed the moment I put foot at the airport. I look forward to being your travel madrina (I mean tour leader lol) on your tour, making sure you feel taken care of and enjoying your trip. And if needed, una buena platicadita también. Nos vemos!
Meet Erica
Hola, I am a dedicated mother and wife, hailing from Compton, CA. As a first-generation Latina, I am deeply involved in my community. My passion for fitness and travel is evident through my love for hiking, hitting the gym, practicing yoga, and exploring new destinations. Alongside my role at a nonprofit providing affordable housing in Los Angeles, I've established an online boutique, showcasing my entrepreneurial spirit. Moreover, I'm a catalyst for change, organizing and empowering a community of Latina women, exemplifying leadership and solidarity.
Meet Flavia
Hola! I’m Flavia, a first generation Peruana American solo female traveler and life abroad expert. During the pandemmy I decided to follow my dream of becoming a travel blogger under the name Latina Traveler. My goal is to inspire other Latinas to travel and have our presence seen wide and far! So far I’ve traveled to over 37 countries and it all started with trading in my Quince to travel around Europe for 3 weeks.
When I’m not traveling me puedes encontrar en los varios cafes en my new home of Lisbon, improving my dance skills, and creating a community of like minded women both online and in person. I can’t wait to viajar with you!
Meet Jhoana
Hola! At a very young age I caught the travel bug when I was shipped off to Mexico every summer, where I got to explore all the ranchos and cities my grandma could take me to. I have been fortunate enough now to have visited 20+ countries and 5 wonders of the world.
Although I am a California native, ten years ago I made the decision to live in Mexico and haven't looked back. Other than traveling, my other hobbies include hiking, dancing badly, singing señora songs, and just genuinely having a good time!
Can't wait for the adventure to come with new Amigas!
