Great News from Sky 2 Sea International
The team here at S2Si would like to let you all know about our new South America Expeditions. We have now opened up an office which is based in Santiago, Chile and is staffed by an old friend of ours and his Chilean wife (they will be making their introductions soon, don’t worry!).
When it comes to expeditions South America has it all – jungle, mountains, coast line, deserts, fast flowing rivers etc. That is stating the obvious really, considering the size of the continent! However, we have chosen Chile and Bolivia as our base of operations for the majority of the South America expeditions.
Chile has in the south the most amazing mixture of mountains, lakes, rivers, coastal islands and adventure in the southern hemisphere. You can go from over 5000m high snow capped mountains, across the plains of Patagonia, down rivers, into lakes, into the sea and then spend time amongst a huge network of islands. In the north Chile dries out to become the driest place on the earth (the Atacama Desert) and is home to more snow capped volcanoes which then border Bolivia.
Once inside Bolivia the high Andean plateau continues with lots of quality mountaineering and trekking for activities, the, suddenly a big drop. The Andes stop suddenly and to the east lies the Amazon Basin. An hours flight from the capital, La Paz, puts you in the Madidi national park, home to pristine Amazon rain forest and all the biodiversity that goes with it.
South America expeditions can last, with S2Si, for as little as a week where you come screaming out of the Andes in Patagonia, Chile, strapped into a kayak, then a mountain bike, then on a horse…. until you reach the coast…. or you can take a more leisurely month to explore the Andes in depth, from Chile over into Bolivia, finishing up at lower altitudes as you canoe down Amazonian rivers looking for wildlife.
It is not only the adventurous or the super fit that can take advantage of our South America expeditions, people on a gap year, families, people looking for an exciting way to make money for charity can all fly on over to Chile or Bolivia and have some fun.
