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.
