Photography was the key to this 2-person, 22-day, multi-landscape expedition. The travelers wanted us to organize a spectacular photographic odyssey that would take in the greatest shooting opportunities in Latin America. They loved to hike, and were willing to rough it sometimes – as long as it could be followed with some luxury accommodations. Our itinerary took in Torres Del Paine National Park in Patagonia, remote Sea Lion Island in the Falklands, Chile’s starkly beautiful Atacama Desert, and a final stop at Easter Island. They photographed guanacos, gentoos, elephant seals, and nesting albatross; icebergs, calving glaciers, and three kinds of penguins; volcanoes, salt flats and geyser fields; Andean flamingos and stone moai.
