Peru
The native people, ancient Inca sites and endemic wildlife are all incredible. Living at approximately 13,000 feet elevation amongst the warm friendly genuine natives is an experience that will not be forgotten. The Llamas and Alpacas with no fear of people are a real treat.

The land that inspired Charles Darwin continues to inspire today's nature loving adventurers both on land and under the sea. Every day for 2 weeks we traveled by small powered sailing vessel and were witness to amazing courting dances and daily routines as we hiked 14 dramatically different islands and snorkeled nearby seascapes. We felt honored to be able to photograph so many lifeforms found nowhere else in the world.

Brazil
Brasil (Portuguese spelling) is a wondrous country filled with almost as many warm-hearted diverse people as it is various species of birds and animals. During 10 trips and thousands of rental car miles I captured wonderful moments with young people throughout the land as well as birds and monkeys in the midst of the Amazon jungle. During an early morning low tide walk at Buzius, 3 young boys were amazed that an American would want to take so many photos of them and asked without speaking a word that I take a starfish as a souvenir of this visit - and would accept nothing in return. Abracos.

The "Lost World" land of Jules Verne includes Angel Falls, the highest waterfall (3212 ft) in the world. To get to this region of many tepui (elevated plateau) we traveled via Piper Cub, slept in outdoor hammocks, traveled 5 hours by dugout canoe and then hiked to the foot of this breath-taking falls. The solitude in this entire region is awe-inspiring.
