“There’s hope in the wilderness.” Many a time during our travels through South America we have found ourselves coming back to these words from Paul Theroux. Whether snorkelling with a family of curious sealions off the Galapagos Islands, the world’s foremost wildlife destination, or trekking through the highlands of Brazil’s interior, among plants that could…
Mountain biking past Inca ruins? Learning capoeira in Salvador? Taking a hot air balloon over the Atacama desert then sandboarding down its dunes?
