Behind the Seasons: Atacama's Flowering Desert

Chile's Atacama Desert is in bloom this October, thanks to winter rainfall. Añañucas and huilles began appearing in August, with a wider variety of native wildflowers emerging in September.

Many desert plants survive years of drought as dormant seeds or underground bulbs. When enough rain arrives, they can germinate or begin growing again. Over 200 native plant species have been documented in connection with this seasonal phenomenon.

The next flowering season depends on seeds and bulbs remaining undisturbed in the soil. Keeping to marked trails and leaving the plants untouched helps protect this natural cycle.

South America's protected areas safeguard some of the continent's richest wildlife habitats.

In Ecuador's Galápagos Islands, marine iguanas and Galápagos penguins are found nowhere else on Earth. In Peru, flooded Amazon forests shelter black caimans, pink river dolphins and giant otters. Further south, Chile's high-altitude wetlands provide refuge for flamingos and wild vicuñas.

With World Nature Protection Day coming up, we're sharing three protected areas selected by our team, drawing on years of experience in Ecuador, Peru and Chile.

A sustainability milestone for Tropic.

Our Preferred by Nature certification for Sustainable Travel Activities passed its monitoring audit again this year, with 100% conformity with the applicable requirements, matching last year's result. It is a multi-site certification covering our operations in Ecuador, Peru and Chile.

The review also used an updated standard, now accredited by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC).

Swipe to see what the review covers and why the GSTC accreditation matters.

No two spectacled bears carry matching markings on the face and chest. Researchers in Ecuador's Chocó Andino use those pale patches to identify individuals through camera traps, much like a fingerprint would work for a person.

It's South America's one native bear species, spending its life tucked into thick cloud forest west of Quito, largely out of sight. Solitary and largely vegetarian, it feeds on bromeliads, fruit and palm hearts, dropping to lower ground when food runs scarce higher up.

One of the quieter faces you might meet on a Journey in Nature through the Chocó Andino.

Offices in five different cities, and somehow it all reads as Tropic.

A few of the people who turn a good idea into an actual journey, working at what LATA recently called Workplace of the Year and DMC of the Year too.

Happy World Tourism Day, from all of us, dear friends.

Behind the Seasons: Warm Season in Galápagos

Running January through May, warm season turns the islands green. Rain reaches the highlands, cacti flower in the lowlands, and calmer seas often make navigation more comfortable.

It's also a season of nesting and renewal. Marine iguanas lay eggs in the sand of Santa Cruz, sea turtles come ashore at night to do the same, and giant tortoise eggs begin their long incubation in the highlands. Water temperatures climb to a comfortable 77–82°F, and visibility improves enough to make this the better half of the year for snorkelling.

More seasons to come, from Tropic.

Grace Diaz, part of Tropic's team in Peru, picks the Peruvian coast as her favourite in South America.

Fishermen who became boat guides. Better roads and services, built up as tourism grew. Pisco routes. Paracas and Nasca history.

Grace sees tourism here as an economic engine and a way to protect the land, running together.

Her full story is in the carousel.

South American sea lion pups nurse for close to a year, longer than many marine mammals their size, staying near their mothers on the same rocky beaches where they were born.

In Paracas, colonies mix pups, juveniles, and adult bulls along the same stretch of coastline, each life stage visible within a few meters of the next. Watching a colony like this up close from a boat reveals its social structure far better than any quick, passing photo.

PURE Life Experiences in Marrakech ran on color, energy, and people who stayed well past when they meant to leave.

What stood out most was how quickly that energy turned personal, once we were face to face instead of behind a screen. It's a small taste of what we build into every journey - privileged access to South America's culture and landscapes, guided by talented locals.

Nature working in formation.

Hundreds of flamingos moving together across the salt flat, each one following the flock rather than a direction.

Tropic. Journeys in Nature.
