Tour operators regularly develop or expand new coverage and itineraries for their favorite destinations.
Here are some that caught my eye for innovation, new sights, a new twist on an old standard, or because they're just plain fun!
In the Amazon
- If you like paddling about in kayaks, looking at and learning about animals, birds, medicinal plants, or just want to get an up close look at the Ecuadorian Amazon, join this four night expedition into Huarani territory. You'll meet the Indians, hike into the forest and fish (catch and release) on the Shiripuno River. Adventure Life Journeys offers this Amazon Adventurer widlife and ecology tour.
- The Aracá River Camp is an African style safari camping located in the Demeni river basin, on an Aracá riverbank (Negro River tributary), 180 river miles north of the city of Barcelos, Amazonas State. Enjoy the fishing, wildlife and scenery, including a trip to see the highest BRazilian waterfall near the border with Venezuela. ECOCLUBing in Rio Araca, Amazon, Brazil has the details.
In Patagonia and Antarctica
- This challenging seven day trek in Chile's Torres del Paine National Park includes glaciers, valleys, lake and climbs from a base at Los Torres. It's a great way to see the landscape, animal life and test yourself on this BikeHike Adventure.
- Get out your warmest gear for this adventure! Victory Adventures will take you ice diving in the Antarctic Peninsula. Weather and ice permitting, you'll sail and dive around the Cape Horn, Falklands & Tierra Del Fuego. Divers must have advanced qualifications such as experience with deep diving, night diving and underwater navigation. Victory Cruises also arranges onshore excursions and longer sailing trips.
