The Galápagos archipelago, first studied be
Darwin is now a eco-tourism center. Here, you can swim with Sea
Lions, snorkel with Marine Iquanas, or be berated by a booby. The
six islands lie west off the coast of Ecuador, and are usually
visited by boat, as there are few accomodations on land.
The Makgadikgadi is known as a place where "only idiots go there." But the harsh landscape hides a richness of life and history of cultures past that only a few have experienced.

It has been said that Madagascar is a veritable resume of
the world; indeed, in only a few hours voyage by plane or car on
this "Great Red Island" (the fourth largest in the world) the
visitor can travel from grassy Mexican plateaus to rockbound
coasts, from the volcano of Vesuvius to the US Far West plains,
from the Sahara desert to golden Polynesian beaches, or from a
lush equatorial forest to the Grand Canyon of Colorado.
On the tiny island of Taumako in the Solomon
Islands' eastern province of Temotu live some 500 Polynesians who
may be the only people in the Pacific still capable of building
and sailing voyaging canoes in completely traditional ways.
Dwelling outside the so-called Polynesian Triangle, and away from
major shipping lanes, they have few of the conveniences and
distractions of twenty-first century life. Taumako has no roads,
telephones, electricity or airport. News of the world outside
comes over marine radio or by way of an occasional ship. Of
necessity its residents live much as Oceanic peoples have for
millenia, by subsistence farming and fishing. Natural materials
and survival skills that Polynesians in more developed areas have
lost thus remain part of most people's repertoire. Many of these
materials and skills, such as those required for manufacture of
plant fibre rope, are vital to building the canoes that enabled
Oceanic people to settle the Pacific's remotest islands.
Discover the Cotahusai River Canon in
spectacular Peru. From exciting rapids and brilliant scenery to
local cultures and ancient Inca ruins, experience never before
seen footage of this gorge as it was viewed by the first river
explorers to pass through the walls of the world's deepest
canyon.
Juneau is Alaska's Capital City, it is nestled in a
spectacular wilderness of mountains rising from the sea, an
icefield and glaciers in those mountains, an extraordinary
population of whales and other marine mammals in the sea nearby,
and offshore wilderness islands teeming with wildlife. It's the
perfect for a launching point for explorations into the
wilderness. The nearby Mendenhall River begins near the face of
the Mendenhall Glacier -- one and one-half miles wide and 150
feet high. Here you can suit up with raingear, life jackets and
rubber boots and begin the paddle across the lake. As you float
down the river you'll encounter stretches of moderate rapids
(Class II and III) and enjoy spectacular views of hanging
glaciers, towering peaks, and glacial topography.
There are more then 100 islands surrounded by crystal clear waters best for snorkeling, diving and sailing. They can be accessed by public or longtail boats. Four national parks, tall limestone outcrops, caves, mangrove forests and hot springs invite you for a visit. Day trips are available to Phi Phi Islands, Koh Lanta, Trang and other islands.
Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world
and it straddles the border between Peru and Bolivia. It is here
that the Quechua traditions meet those of the Aymara. On the
Peruvian side of the lake, the main islands to visit are the
floating reed islands of Uros, and the islands of Amantani and
Taquile. Visiting the latter two islands is a highlight for many
travellers, as the way of life on the islands is still very
traditional, and there is the opportunity to stay with families
overnight. The Uros Islands have been inhabited for many years by
the Uros Indians who constantly lay down tortora reeds to keep
the islands built up. They also use the reeds for homes and their
boats.
Canoeing on the Zambezi : between Kariba and Kanyemba
canoe Safaris and the Zambezi have remained the same, untouched
by the world's developments. The flat meandering river is prime
water on which to take part in an adventurous expedition of a
lifetime - unattainable elsewhere on the planet!
