Adventure

Where to begin? South and Central America are the very essence of exploration and adventure. A canoe gliding silently along a jungle river, with emerald walls of rainforest rising on either side. Watching in awe as a mighty glacier splits asunder and crashes into an icy lake. Riding with gauchos across endless grasslands, where the horizon seems to stretch forever. Following ancient Inca trails through the clouds to magnificent mountain citadels. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination. Whether your spirit of adventure leads you to the exhilaration of Chile’s Class IV rapids, trekking beneath the granite towers of Patagonia, soaring above the world’s highest waterfalls by helicopter, or the quiet wonder of snorkeling alongside sea turtles and penguins in the Galápagos, ORYX will bring your journey to life.

Experience a different side of the Amazon while staying at Anavilhanas Lodge, venturing out on a fun and immersive fishing excursion through the region’s winding igarapés — the narrow waterways that weave through the rainforest.

Surrounded by dense jungle and the sounds of the Amazon, try your hand at catching piranhas and other native fish species while drifting through one of the world’s most biodiverse ecosystems. Between casts, the experience becomes just as much about the scenery as the fishing itself — flooded forests, birdlife overhead, and the quiet rhythm of life along the water.
