The perfect picture: coincidence or staged?
Some tourists come back with beautiful wildlife photos. But is it pure luck? There are now tour operators willing to stage anything in exchange for the right amount of money. Also animal pictures.
Howling and acrobacy
We sometimes make a monkey out of ourselves, but we can’t yet swing through the canopy. Anyway, here you get a sneak peak into Costa Ricas’ primates.
Looking for the quetzal
We take you on a rainy hike through the cloud forest with Michael’s pictures.

Giants of the Llanos: the Orinoco Crocodile
One item on our to-see list: see a living fossil. We visited Picopando and his fellow species in the Llanos.
Places of the Future V – A safari in Colombia
A quasi-African safari in Colombia – and all animals were wild. An experience we couldn’t miss.
Places of the Future IV – Amazon’s Birds
In the Colombian border region of Putumayo, Yolima and her family are fighting for their small forest. A visit to Amazon’s Birds – a place of the future in the centre of a conflict zone.
Places of the Future III – Sinchi Warmi
Another place with a future. Here, indigenous women came together to protect their tradition and nature through tourism, and to create an income. And it’s a place where you find rainbows at night.
Ever Heard of the Big Five of South America?
Obviously we had to make our very own South American Big Five’s list. A safari through the entire southern continent. Hours and even days looking for an animal and, suddenly, it’s there. A real adventure.
