In the great world of adventure travel, few places are as alluring in their history, culture, wildlife and scenic splendor as Latin America – a place of vivid contrasts. From dense rainforests to arid deserts, from raging rivers to calm gulf waters. No less vibrant is the range of cultures. Colonial cities and Inca ruins vie for attention along with the hospitality of Andean villagers.
While planning your next vacation, picture yourself sea kayaking the warm waters of the Sea of Cortez in Baja or along the coast in the enchanted Galápagos Islands. Or, consider joining us on the notorious Futaleufú River in Chile for a luxurious, Class IV (with optional Class V) adventure. And, new for 2008, be one of the first to explore the seldom seen Black Canyon of the Apurimac River in Peru followed by a ground-breaking lodge-to-lodge trek to Machu Picchu, South America’s most renowned archaeological site. Whatever option you choose, adventure abounds south of the border with O.A.R.S. this year.
