70 seconds out of a three day journey from Dritabiki (Drietabbetje) to Albina. With a taste of some relatively tame rapids ("sula"). I dared not risk my camera to get drenched on the really wild ones.

A tiny tranquil island off of Rio de Janeiro. An auto-free zone similar to Fisher Island in Miami Beach area. However, this is not a luxurious island, but has lovely horse drawn carts to take you around and great to hang out in the beach and see the phenomenal scenaries which are incomparable.

At the entrance of Rio de Janeiro stands this beautiful mountain called a "sugar loaf" waiting to be explored. The views of the city a magnificent.

Taking a boat trip while in Salvador is really cool.
They often have live music on the boats and the atmosphere is great.

Sailing

After we left a tour of Peru, we adventured to Paracas and the Nasca Lines, what an adventure.

A land tour of Peru, beginning in Lima, then to Cuzco, Machu Picchu to the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Lake Titicaca and the Floating Islands, and of course the the beauty and culture of Peru...what an experience.

Here is a collage of video from a trip down the Avenue of Waterfalls from Baños to Puyo (the Andes mountains to the edge of El Oriente jungle region). We biked, downhill, on this trip but you can also take a tour by bus and stop at various locations of interest along the way. Some of the highlights are riding a tarabita cable car suspended across the river canyon, speeding towards pounding waterfalls by zip line and hiking to the spectacular Pailon del Diablo waterfall.

The trip consisted of a visit to the reed islands, a ride on a reed boat, tourists stops and a night's stay on Amantani Island in an Aymara Indian home.
