Our plans are shaping up nicely, and they're green!


Forget carbon footprints, we’re going green! In summary, our action is going to revolve around 5 amazing treks: you'll find out exactly where when we've completed them!! And to spice things up a little, we’re adding some perilous mountain-biking at assorted locations, too! There will also be some amazing experiences in the old colonial cities and towns of the continent, and don’t forget this IS Latin America, so there will be tasty food, exotic fruits, lethal cocktails and pulsating rhythms!

Do you remember what we managed to pack into January 2010? Well, if that wasn’t enough for you, January 2011 is going to be even fuller, more adventurous and intrepid! This expedition is circular, starting and ending in the Caribbean, but will there be danger? Well, certainly not from the war-lords or drug barons. We’ll even be avoiding the urban jungle of Caracas where petty crime, express kidnappings, knife and gun assaults are commonplace; none of this phases us. It’s the Colombian fauna high up in the Sierra Nevada mountains that sounds thrilling: deadly rattle snakes, fer-de-lance, bushmaster and coral snakes, plus the jaguar, puma and ocelot! And in April, there’s some recovery time after these Colombian and Venezuelan adventures: Cuba! And here, even the mojitos are green…
