After yesterday exploring the city we had a quick breakfast of Açaí which is a berry from Brazil.  Whenever I'm in this part of the world I always try to find places that sell this delicous super fruit.

<center>_Empanadas - the taste of Chile_</center>

As soon as we finished breakfast we immediately travelled south out of the city, to check out the best nature that Chile has to offer. 
---

<br>
The south is more remote, wild, and much more nature.  We took a ten hour bus down to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pucón">Pucón</a> which is often branded as the _adventure hub_ of Chile.  

We've unpacked our bags and the adventure will continue tomorrow!

<center>Rio de Janeiro</center>
---

In Rio de Janeiro I visit some of the classic tourist destinations including _Christ The Redeemer_, take some amazing hikes up _Pedra da Gávea_, and visit some more off the beaten track destinations like the sleepy _Ilha Grande_.

<center>The Ngorongoro Crater</center>
---

The Ngorongoro crater is a diverse area of grassland, forests, rivers, and ravines creating a haven for an abundance of wildlife.  On this trip I managed to spot an elusive _Serval Cat_, and visit the _David Sheldrick elephant orphanage_ in neighbouring Kenya.

<center>Zambia</center>
---

In Zambia I visited the incredible _Victoria Falls_, and then set up to camp near the _Zambezi National Park_ to come into close contact with all the animals of the African bush.  On this trip we had an incredible encounter with a hyena, which is one of my favourite stories so far.

<center>Incredible Zanzibar</center>
---

Zanzibar is one of the most beautiful places I've visited - we took boats to view dolphins and  humpback whales.  We also got to work with school children in _Jambiani_ and to learn about some of the efforts being made to help this poor (but incredibly happy) community.

<center>Exploring Cape Town</center>
---

In Cape Town I show you some of the best spots to go hiking or to enjoy a day out, including visiting the _prison island_ that was famously home to Nelson Mandela for 18 years.   As usual theres a mix of fun stories - like when I almost stepped on a puff adder on the edge of a cliff.

<center>Mountain Gorillas In The Congo</center>
---

It was an absolute privelege to travel through _Rwanda_ to reach the Congo to go on the front line with the amazing team at _Virunga National Park_ protecting mountain gorillas.  We spend New Years by a _lava lake_, and get to see efforts being made to help _orphaned gorillas_.

<center>Bonito's beautiful waters</center>
---

Bonito translated means beautiful, and visiting the eco tourism capital of Brazil, it's easy to see why.  We did a lot of _snorkelling_ in what seemed like a huge outdoor aqaurium, visited underground caves in _Abismo_, and finally headed to the spectacular _Buraco das Araras_.

<center>Colombia & Trekking to the hidden city</center>
---

I landed in _Bogota_, and then made my way to tackle the _Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta_ mountain range.  We come into contact with the native _Tairona people_ as we trekked through jungle, waterfalls and rivers to reach this incredible lost settlement.

<center>The Pantanal Wetlands and Wildlife</center>
---

I visit this worlds largest tropical wetland site and come face to face with the local _Pantiero cowboys_, Jacaré _Caiman_, Capybara, and a whole host of other wildlife.  I was also lucky enough to meet one of the photographers from the BBC show _The Blue Planet_.
