A good question that many of you may, and do, ask...

First, and most importantly, languages (which are our speciality) are like cacti: prickly on the outside and juicy on the inside. People are often put off learning a language because they think it will be too difficult. But as we demonstrated at one of our shows, where we gave thousands of people the chance to try some edible cactus, they were sceptical before tasting and amazed afterwards at how delicious it was. The same goes for languages: easier than they may initially appear.

Any of you who have learnt another language will know this feeling: after going through days or weeks of thinking you will never be able to understand or make yourself understood, you suddenly get to that level where you are communicating in another language and another culture and experiencing things that do not exist in your own language.

Secondly, even in our early days as Travel Santa Fe (our former trading name), we always had a cactus as a logo so decided keep up our old traditions...

And thirdly, love it or hate it, Cactus is simply a great name, and a word understandable in many languages. Why not try for yourself: learn a language & TASTE THE CACTUS!
