    Cerca is reinventing the guide book for the modern traveler. Cerca Guides are podcasts, written and hosted by locals, filled with episodes that deliver information and stories about somewhere in the world: everything from food to music, history, architecture, sports, fashion and more. Like the story of how The Blitz shaped London’s culture and architecture. Or how to eat a taco for every meal of the day in Mexico City. 

    Plan the perfect trip, full of authentic experiences. Or listen in the flow of your daily life, while immersing yourself in the sounds and feels of a new and extraordinary place. New episodes will be released all the time, soon there will be a Guide for anywhere you want to go.

    And there's even more in the Cerca app - bonus content, maps, and info on the points of interest mentioned in our episodes. Listen, become inspired and plan all without worrying about having to hit pause and take notes - because the info you need is waiting for you in the Cerca App.  

    Cerca: Love the world you live in. We'll help you explore it.
