For those of you that follow your leader Jorgen, we just confirmed our June departure for Bolivia with him and October is likely going to confirm as well.

This trip is one of our best wildlife trips for those among you that love animals and also for those who want to travel away from the crowds and experience a country before tourism has changed it.

I love receiving pics from past groups that I've led. This was a custom adventure race that we put together in Costa Rica 20 years ago and it was the trip of a lifetime. Now that all their kids are grown, this group is back for round two in a different locale.

80% of our trips nowadays are customized for small groups of travellers, so if you have an itch for something specific for your small group (minimum 4 people) we can build your dream vacation.

This short film is an important watch. The Zambezi River is approved to be dammed, and how locals will lose their livelihoods. Please spread the word and maybe we'll help to stop the damages.

While porters on the Zambezi River hone their kayaking skills, a controversial dam threatens to take away their livelihood and vanish a globally renowned river.

What a great idea...at the library in Utrecht, Netherlands. You can recharge your devices while keeping fit. This speaks volumes about the health and wellness of the Dutch.

I am scouting a new adventure in the stunningly beautiful Fijian Islands – an undiscovered gem that absolutely belongs on your travel wishlist.

There are direct flights from Vancouver, Los Angeles, and New York, so getting here is more convenient than ever, especially from the West Coast of North America. But once you arrive, the real magic begins.

The Fijian people are some of the friendliest and most hospitable I’ve ever encountered. Fiji also boasts the third largest reef in the world – making its snorkelling and diving experiences some of the best on the planet. The island's highlands are home to remote indigenous communities who live traditionally off the land and are still preserving their rich cultural ways of life, which is very rare to find nowadays.

Stay tuned for more updates as I dig deeper into this wonderful country.

Oh some times there are interesting things on menus, especially in Asia. What is the most disgusting thing that you've ever eaten?
These items were found at a buffet in Bangkok. Eeek....

Have you ever seen a sloth in the wild? Costa Rica is abundant with sloth encounters and the season for Costa Rica is upon us now. And, as you have all heard many times over the years, it's also a destination very near and dear to Trish's heart as it is the country where BikeHike was born.

Watch the video that was captured by one of our travellers for a little bit of unconditional sloth love.

Thank you to Lisa for sharing your pictures from your Cycling Puglia trip (Southern Italy) with us last month. There are lots of smiling faces, which we love to see.

A few years ago Puglia was off the beaten track but it's a buzz destination now. It's a great destination for those looking to cycle by day and experience farm to table experiences and historical cities. Let's not forget the pizzas, pastas, cheeses, gelatos and old world wines of course.

If you like parmesan cheese this is a very interesting video from an Italian cheese master to learn how it is made, with a half of ton of milk and the ancient way to cut a 40 kilo cheese round

First day of scouting in Reggio Emilia, we went to a 2 Star Michelin Restaurant for a cooking class and a balsamic vinegar farm that has been in the family for 3 generations. Everything has been scrumptious so far.

Finally, we've launched our Guatemala itinerary that trip will be leading from Feb.22-Mar. 2, 25.

We'll hike to the summit of Acentanango Volcano and sleep on the volcano, kayak on Lake Atitlan surrounded by 3 cone shaped volcanoes, bike through indigenous villages and hike up to the top of the Mayan ruins in Tikal, the New York of the Maya civilization.

Trish lead trips in Guatemala 35 years ago, before BikeHike was born. This destination holds a very special place in her heart. And for those who join this trip, there will be lots of incredible stories that you'll hear from those days so long ago. In fact, it was in Guatemala that the idea for starting BikeHike began......

Reach out if you have any questions about the trip.

Our last Galapagos group experienced so many incredible wildlife encounters on their trip last week. If you love animals and love to get up close to them in the wild, the Galapagos Islands definitely won't disappoint.
Many of you on here have already been on our Galapagos trips with Jorgen. We'd love to hear from you all. What was your top wildlife encounter in the Galapagos with us?
