New Trip Announcement: South American Traverse
to this extraordinary region of the world. From Ecuador to Chile, from
the high Andes to remote offshore islands, the rich diversity in both
cultural and wildlife experiences is unparalleled.
Our journey takes us along the nutrient-rich Humboldt
Current, encountering graceful dolphins and whales on their
Antarctica-bound migration, and beaches literally smothered with sea
lions. Birdlife, too, will be prolific, as we spot plunge-diving
pelicans, Peruvian boobies, and Humboldt penguins. In the high Andes,
we'll stand in a natural setting reminiscent of an art deco painting,
with ebony-colored giant coots and pink flamingos feeding in a
turquoise mountain lake. Off-shore, Zodiacs bring us to islands teeming
with seabirds, while hundreds of seals splash around us. Chile's Lauca
National Park is unforgettable, with its towering snow-capped volcanoes
and wonderful South American creatures such as viscachas, vicuñas, and
guanacos.
Join us as we explore one of the most fascinating, and biologically
rich, regions of the planet; the West Coast of South America.
