Wildlife

Those inspired by nature will have found their utopia. Snow-clad mountains where condors soar. Deserts and salt flats where textures come to life and one is left to reflect on where the sky begins and where it ends. There are vast wetlands where jaguars rule as kings and queens. And then, of course, there are the jungles. Mysterious, enchanting, awe-inspiring, and brimming with such an abundance of living things that scientists are still discovering new species. Drift quietly through winding streams, a family of giant otters keeping pace with your boat. Experience the raucous calls and kaleidoscopic colors of a flock of macaws at a clay lick. Feel the tension of the hunt as a puma quietly stalks its prey on the grasslands of the Andes. Find yourself among a blizzard of jewel-like hummingbirds. South and Central America are a treasure trove of natural delights.
