Featured Adventures

  • The variety of landscapes you will find driving south of the Balmaceda Airport along the Carretera Austral, in Chilean Patagonia, is one of the surprises you will find during your stay in Aysen. Kayaking inside the Marble Caves, walking over the ice of the Glacier Exploradores, rafting on the River Baker, plus a boat navigation to the San Rafael Glacier will be an amazing experience.

  • Depart in the morning from Cusco and travel across the Altiplano towards Puno. Stop in the village of Raqchi, also known as the Temple of Viracocha because of its emblematic constructions and La Raya, the highest point on the Cusco-Puno route at 4,335 meters above sea level, the perfect place to see the beautiful snow-capped Andes and the many llamas and vicunas roaming.

  • Step into a world where ancient civilizations meet breathtaking landscapes, and every day brings a new story to tell. This immersive journey through Guatemala invites you to explore its vibrant colonial cities, climb active volcanoes, glide across a lake framed by towering peaks, and uncover the mysteries of the Maya deep in the jungle.

  • An exploration of the realm of the Harpy Eagle, the world’s most powerful bird of prey and Panama’s national bird.
