Travel
Your Passport to Discovery
The Caltech Associates' Travel Program is designed for the intellectually curious traveler who enjoys unique experiences and five star amenities.
Each destination is enhanced by including a Caltech faculty member, whose expertise will deepen your understanding of the sciences and of your locale.
We work with premier travel companies to design expeditions, preparing itineraries that incorporate the culture and history of each area. This frequently includes behind-the-scenes access to observatories, laboratories, and museums, and one of a kind experiences such as CERN, Galapagos Islands with National Geographic, a gourmet meal on the Atacama Desert in Chile, and exploring Keck telescopes on the Big Island. Trips vary in length and include nearby excursions and exotic locations. Our 2023-2024 travel schedule has been finalized for your review.
Many Associates trips are only available to President's Circle members. You can upgrade your membership at any time to enjoy these unique opportunities.
