Snorkeling with Pink Dolphins

The Rio Negro in Brazil’s Amazonia region is the best place in the world to come face to face with Pink River Dolphins.

Take a trip out on a platform to get into the water with these playful and friendly creatures.

When not playing with the dolphins, explore the smaller tributaries of the Rio Negro in search of grey diver dolphins, squirrel monkeys, capuchins, howler monkeys, three-toed sloths, and exotic birds.

Uga Chena Huts

Just outside of Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park, there’s a place that will make you feel like you’ve stepped into The Jungle Book. Elephants roam the beach, flamingos gather in the lagoon, and within the park, leopards lounge high in the trees.

At Uga Chena Huts, you’ll find a comfortable and adventurous stay that’s the perfect base for exploring Yala and reconnecting with nature.

The hotel’s 14 palm-thatched huts are scattered through the lush tropical trees, just a short walk from the beach, giving guests a sense of secluded luxury.

La Piedra del Peñol

Climbing 650 stairs through a narrow crevice, you'll ascend the steep slope of the impressive La Piedra Del Peñol, also known as 'The Big Guatapé Rock'.

At the summit, the view is simply breathtaking, offering one of the most spectacular lookouts in all of Colombia.

Standing at 7,000 feet (2,135 meters) above sea level, this natural wonder provides the perfect spot to enjoy panoramic views of Guatapé Lake and the surrounding beautiful region.
