Brazil's Chapada dos Veadeiros
Brazil is a vast country covering a range of habitats which one can’t hope to cover in one visit, but it’s always fascinating to discover hidden corners or finally visit areas one has only heard about. I felt like that when I was asked to participate in a travel event called, appropriately enough,... Read more»
Lizzy in Honduras
At the end of last year, I made a short but memorable visit to north and western Honduras - a country I hadn’t previously had the opportunity to explore. Bordered by Guatemala and tiny El Salvador to the west, and Nicaragua to the south, Honduras boasts a diverse landscape. Its long stretch of Carib... Read more»
Phil with the Chachapoya in northern Peru

Following my stay in the north-east I headed to beautiful Paraty on the southern coas... Read more»
Wildlife of Costa Rica's Osa Peninsula

I was glad however on my return visit in May, not to have to repeat my waist high wade ac... Read more»
Report: Eclipse and astronomy tour to Mexico
Earlier this year I returned to Mexico (after an absence of some years) with a group of Oxford and Cambridge alumni. The main purpose of our visit was the 8 April 2024 total solar eclipse, which crossed Mexico and the US. Cloud cover predictions suggested that Torreón, a small city in the Coahuila s... Read more»
