The Beginning

Founded in 2022 by photographer and passionate traveler Mauricio Leon, Somm Travel was born from a deep love for storytelling, discovery, and designing bespoke luxury travel experiences that feel as timeless as the destinations they explore.

Mauricio has been capturing the world through his lens since 2018, specializing in photography-driven journeys that celebrate detail, emotion, and the hidden corners of the world. His background behind the camera and in curation brings a unique artistry to every tailor-made luxury itinerary crafted by Somm Travel.

At Somm Travel, we believe travel should be more than movement; it should be an immersive, transformative experience.

We design private safaris, culinary journeys, and off-the-beaten-path escapes for discerning travelers seeking not just destinations, but stories they will carry for life.

From the remote waterways of Botswana to the ice-covered silence of Antarctica, from the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia to the ancient sake traditions of Japan, our boutique luxury travel agency specializes in creating exclusive, tailor-made journeys to extraordinary places rarely touched by mass tourism.

Each exclusive itinerary is personally curated, blending luxury accommodations, authentic local experiences, and immersive photography opportunities.

Every journey is crafted with the belief that true luxury lies in authenticity, privacy, and a profound connection to place.

Whether you’re seeking a private photographic expedition, a gastronomic exploration of hidden regions, or a luxury safari few have ever witnessed, Somm Travel invites you to discover the world with fresh eyes—and to experience it with all five senses.
