The Peninsula Valdes

A protected nature reserve and UNESCO World Heritage Site teeming with wildlife. The lagoons there are the calving ground for the Southern Right Whale. During the day, paddle next to these gentle giants as they surface and blow right in front of your kayak. At night, camp on secluded beaches and enjoy the natural beauty of this corner of Patagonia.

Ausangate lodge to lodge trek in Peru

Brazil’s Costa Verde

A verdant swath of Atlantic rainforest bordered by warm aquamarine water protected from the open Atlantic by Ilha Grande, literally “the Big Island.” Steeped in history and rich with wildlife, this area includes the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Paraty and the Ecological Reserve of Juatinga and Cairucu. The calm waters and beautiful, lush tropical scenery make it a perfect place to paddle.
