Rotate your phone 90 degrees and come canoeing through the flooded forest of the Anavilhanas archipelago with us 🙂

For a few months each year, the Rio Negro climbs the trees and swallows the forest floor, turning the 400-odd islands of the Anavilhanas into a flooded cathedral you can paddle through.

It's an unforgettable way to experience the Amazon. Canoeing between the trunks, canopy overhead, black water mirror-still beneath you. Just the plop of something unseen and birds you'll spend days trying to identify

Waking up in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon
Brazil holds the lion’s share of the Amazon, and yet most visitors funnel into the same handful of spots.

We'd rather go a bit further - literally - to find you an Amazon that’s calmer, quieter and more in tune with people and place.

And the winner is... little old us!

We are utterly thrilled and humbled to have won the "hotly contested" Tour Operator of the Year Award for the small (but mighty) category at the LATA Excellence Awards 2026.

We build our trips around local communities, and the families, guides, cooks, drivers and storytellers who bring the most intimate, personal meaning to Latin America's most epic landscapes. And we build our trips for travellers who are driven by curiosity, warmth and a sense of adventure to go deeper and really connect with a place through its people, culture and wild corners.

So this isn't just our award. We share it with our family of partners, who do the hard, beautiful work of welcoming strangers like old friends. And we share it with our loyal clients, who trust us, turn up with open minds, and bring the whole thing to life. We did it together.

Muchas gracias, obrigado, thank you to all of you. And thank you to the Latin American Travel Association and the judges for this incredible honour. It means a huge amount

The Andes in Argentina's north-west, Salta to Mendoza, is a route most people fly over. Chris went to discover just how much they are missing.

He drove the whole stretch — through high desert, past vineyards most people have never heard of, along roads that don't really show up on anyone's itinerary. Came back slightly sunburnt and very insistent that we build a trip around it.

So we did. Argentina: Salta to Mendoza Road Trip. Now live.

In the rivers, estuaries, and mangrove swamps of Costa Rica lurks one of the region's most ancient predators — the American crocodile.

They can often be seen lying motionless along riverbanks, blending so expertly into their surroundings you'll likely walk past one before you see it. That stillness isn't laziness — it's strategy. Everything about them is conservational: energy, movement, patience. They've been doing this for roughly 200 million years. Not much about the method needs updating.

Perfectly adapted to both fresh and brackish waters, they play a significant role in maintaining balance within these wetland ecosystems. They're not the most charismatic species in Costa Rica's catalogue, but they might be the most quietly impressive.

Nestled in the damp, shaded layers of the rainforest floor lives one of Costa Rica's smallest and most conspicuous creatures — the poison dart frog.

They're tiny. And luckily for us, they're also impossible to miss. Vivid blues, fiery reds, bolshie bright yellows — super beautiful, but also, super toxic. Their colours have apparently evolved to warn predators, “I’m not blending in on purpose, I’m covered in poison, soI’m not your best choice for snacktime.”

The waters off Costa Rica's Pacific coast become something else entirely other worldly during humpback season. These animals travel thousands of miles each year to reach these warm breeding grounds — some from as far as Antarctica, others from Alaska. Two distinct populations, same destination.

Watching a humpback breach is one of those moments that's almost impossible to describe without sounding like you're exaggerating. Forty tonnes of animal launching itself out of the ocean and crashing back in. You can hear it before your brain has fully processed what you've just seen.

The forests of Costa Rica are rarely silent for long. And if there's movement high in the canopy, chances are it's a monkey.

Spider monkeys are the acrobats of the four species you'll find here — alongside howlers, squirrel monkeys and white-faced capuchins. Their long limbs and prehensile tails let them swing between branches with a fluency that makes it look effortless, often covering large distances in search of fruit. Watching one move through the canopy at speed, you understand immediately one of the many reasons why the trees matter. No forest, no monkeys. It really is that simple.
