Tavira Portugal |
|
A bright, painted boat ferries you down the River Gilao into the charming town that lies spread on either side. The market smells of roasted almond, freshly salted fish and ripe figs seduce your nostrils, drawing you deeper into the cobblestoned alleys and 12th century Moorish buildings of Tavira, the ‘Venice of Algarve.’

Beach Cocoa |
|
Enter Florida’s Space Coast where the surf is high, the sun hot and the beaches splendidly inviting. Escape into the shadows where an Indian river flows through mangrove swamps and subtropical jungle. And when the time is nigh, spacecrafts hurl into the sky.

Peru Bolivia |
|
Once ruled by mighty Incas these equally isolated neighbouring lands are the keepers of many secrets; salt flats, dense jungle, jagged mountains, deserts and swamps, many parts of which still remain unexplored. The Inca trail winds through viny temples, ruined palaces, crumbling towns and the Lost City of Machu Picchu.

 |
Panama |
|
Over 500 rivers lace through the Panamian landscape into which diverse personalities are crammed. Enjoy the city’s sophistication and sauntering through its dilapidated neighbour Casco Viejo before escaping into the hidden tropical islands (many are uninhabited) of the archipelago.

Karnataka |
|
With a history as rich as its biodiversity, Karnataka has been fought for and ruled by a score of ancient kingdoms. As a result it holds legacies of them all. Tombs, domes, temples, massive sculptures and forts lie amidst a landscape made lush by many rivers, lakes and falls.

 |
Ari Atoll |
|
Snorkel through the coral reefs of a crystal lagoon filled with schools of bright tropical fish. Explore wrecks, islets and refresh yourself with coconut milk. Back on base a local chef cooks your catch under the night sky. Savour the flavour with sand between your toes and when a breeze-kissed hammock calls, just go.

Wales |
|
The independent spirit of Wales is infectious. You’ll soon find yourself trekking off into its rolling hills or biking down the coastal trail, stopping at old-fashioned Welsh pubs to sample local brew and Penclawdd Cockles. A vintage railway takes you to Snowdon Peak if feet fail the adventurous soul craving the Welsh wilderness.
