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.
Places of the Future II – Maquipucuna reserve
This is another place where wild animals have a future: Maquipucuna. They even attracted Andean bears back to the area – unintentionally.
Looking for the spectacled bear, the only bear in South America
We’ve been looking for him on our entire trip along the Andes mountain range. Finally, we’ve seen it: the spectacled bear.
A once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Galapagos
How about visiting the islands that inspired Darwin’s theory of evolution? It’s an unforgettable experience, because of the animals.
Thousand and one hummingbirds
We never expected to be surrounded by buzzing hummingbirds – but in Mindo the fairy tale becomes reality. A wonderful stay in a world of birds.
