Rich in culture, flora and fauna. Our visit allowed us to experience a little of each. From the market of Otavalo, the Huarmi-Maqui women's coop to butterflies and hummingbirds

We head to the land of Darwin and Lonesome George. The Galapagos Islands, sand, surf and snorkeling

Buenos Aires, Iguazu Falls, and the north of Patagonia. Each very different from the other, all beautiful.

While we have been to South America before, this marked the first time we ventured to the wind swept steppe and mountains of the far south. After a one day visit to the colorful La Boca neighborhood and the always intriguing La Recoleta cemetery in Buenos Aires, we headed south to Patagonia. What we found exceeded our expectations

At the end of our trip to Patagonia, we took a side excursion to the mysterious Easter Island. The historic culture and artifacts, including the famous Moai, were only outdone by the views

Hot, humid and fascinating. The sounds of the jungle lull you to sleep at night and wake you each morning. Very relaxing and far from the crowds

Our return trip placed us on new islands and we found new adventures. More snorkeling and complete relaxation.

A challenging and fantastic adventure. The Inka culture is amazing and so is their Trail and Machu Picchu.

Our second trip to this diverse country. While we also visited Lake Titicaca and hiked the Inca Trail on this trip, we spent quite a bit of time in other areas. Fabulous ruins, a rich history, and friendly people

Very interesting experience, a lake at over 12,000 ft above sea level. Uros Island was really great.

Visiting this beautiful country for the third time, it still impresses.
