A must-try while in Patagonia.

Just as we love our lattes, the Argentines go for mate in a big way. The drink is also popular in Uruguay, Chile, southern Brazil and Bolivia as well as in Paraguay where drinking it chilled (called terere) is popular.

The mateline contained in mate provides a stimulating effect similar to that of caffeine but without the jitters or stomach upset. The brew is rich in antioxidants. Though science may not support all of its claims, mate is said to reduce blood pressure, fight cancer, enhance performance and aid sleep. Some swear by it as an herbal remedy for weight loss and as a colonic.

Whether you’re a caffeine enthusiast or simply looking to try something new, mate is worth a sip.

Imagine this: 💭 You're deep in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, the air thick with the symphony of exotic birds and distant howler monkeys.

Your day begins with a thrilling hike through lush greenery, leading to a serene boat ride on a shimmering lake. ⛴️ As you glide through the water, you keep your eyes peeled for playful river otters and vibrant macaws.

After a delicious lunch, you ascend into the rainforest canopy, walking on bridges suspended high above the forest floor. Here, you'll encounter a world teeming with life, from curious monkeys to elusive reptiles. As darkness falls, set off on a nocturnal adventure, searching for creatures that emerge under the cover of darkness.

This is just a glimpse of what awaits you on one unforgettable day of our 12-day Amazon & Inca Trail Tour. 🤯

The Sacred Valley, located between Cusco and Machu Picchu, is the heart of the Inca Empire.

🏔️ This region boasts impressive Inca ruins such as Sacsayhuaman, Kenko, Puca Pucara, and Tambo Machay, showcasing the Incas' advanced engineering and architectural skills.

While popular tourist sites like Machu Picchu are located here, the true essence of Inca life can be experienced by exploring the lesser-known villages and witnessing traditional practices that have survived centuries.

Love is in the air... or should we say, on the ice? 🐧❤️ Penguins might seem like the picture of monogamy, but their love lives are actually quite complex. While many penguins pair up for life, factors like weather can shake things up.

Some species, like the Adelie, might be less committed due to their short breeding season. And the Emperor Penguin? 👀 Well, they're more like serial daters, choosing a new partner each year!
