The Galápagos Islands !
We create memories that you will never forget!

At the forefront, health and safety are the most important… ..
We are experiencing a mixture of joy and relief, and hope that the darkest days the industry has ever seen are behind us.

The Covid-19 pandemic has brought travelers uncertainty and turbulence, new behavioral protocols, restrictions, mental stress and fears, closures and bans, canceled travel plans, new ways to work and connect, vaccinations, and vaccination skeptics. Hopefully, it has sparked tough questions and awkward conversations among travelers and a demand for a vital shift in attitudes and behavior toward more rigorous sustainability in travel and tourism with accountability and transparency.

Like many activities, tourism came to a standstill and will never be the same again in the future. Globally, we live in times of great uncertainty about travel in times of pandemic and about future travel.
We believe that less-explored and remote destinations will be preferred by travelers who previously preferred massive sites and large urban centers.
Remote natural places in South America such as the Amazon, the Andes, the Galapagos Islands, Machupicchu, the Salar de Uyuni, the Atacama Desert, Patagonia, Easter Island and Antarctica are expected to be the new destinations for the world's adventurers.

Hummingbird habitat!

They live in areas located at altitudes from sea level to about 4,500 meters. The number of habitats that hummingbirds occupy is very extensive and varied. ... Other habitats are: grasslands, rainforests, scrublands, savannas, meadows, agricultural fields, forest and stream margins, deserts, and mountains.

Hummingbirds have conquered a large number of habitats, among which we can mention the moors, mangroves, savannas; but most live in rainy or evergreen forests.

The species that make up the genus Colibrí have a size that ranges between 9.5 and 15 cm, and a weight of 4.8 to 8.5 g. Although they are small birds, they are not the smallest, since they belong to the genus Mellisuga. They have a broad, forked or rounded tail.

Hummingbirds are the acrobats of the air: they can fly from side to side, backwards, and even hover at one point. Thanks to the high-speed cameras, we have been able to slow down the movement of its wings to finally discover the secrets behind its flight.

Iguazu falls.

The Iguazú Falls (in Portuguese: Cataratas do Iguaçu), popularly called in Argentina as «Iguazú Falls», are a set of 275 waterfalls that are located on the Iguazú River, on the border between the province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paraná.

The falls can be seen from Brazil and Argentina and are one of its great tourist attractions. The Iguazú River traces the border between the two countries and empties into the Paraná River, where the borders of Argentina, Brazil and Paraguay meet.

They are unanimously recognized as the most spectacular in the world. Swiss botanist Robert Chodat (1865-1934) eloquently described its imposing grandeur: “When we find ourselves at the foot of this world of waterfalls, and looking up we see, 82 meters above us, the horizon occupied by a line of waters, the astonishing spectacle of an ocean pouring down into an abyss is almost chilling. " Marveling at the beauty of such a spectacle, the Swiss botanist described the characteristic flora and fauna of the area: “An exuberant and almost tropical vegetation, the lushness of large ferns, the canes of bamboos, the graceful trunks of palm trees and thousands of species of trees, their tops leaning over the abyss adorned with mosses, red begonias, gold orchids, sparkling bromeliads, and trumpet-flowered vines.
