Ever heard of Chilean Thanksgiving? Maybe? No…? Me either, but our lamb-themed asado (lamb roast) decked out with sweet bread, mashed potatoes, apple crisp, and much more almost fits the part.

I was halfway through my lunch when a small red head emerged from a hole above me, head turning, one yellow eye glancing curiously down at us far below. Then suddenly, in a flurry of feathers, it’s off, soaring through the trees with its majestic wings outstretched. We’ve found a woodpecker! Instantly, everyone is on their feet, research gear is being pulled out, and I turn on my GPS ready to follow the bird through the
forest.

Our group was lucky enough to get the opportunity to travel to Victoria Falls, one of the seven natural wonders of the world […] Entering the park was being transported somewhere else […] When walking around the humidity got thicker and it seemed as if it was drizzling. The water was hitting so strongly at the bottom of the canyon that it came back up, creating the illusion that it was raining.

This week at homestays has been the best part of the Round River program. Coming down to Chile, I was most definitely looking forward to homestays, but it has surpassed all my expectations […] The owners of Camping Aqualsol, Don Atilio and his son Julian, hosted us for the week at their estate, and it was a terrific chance to fully experience an authentic Gaucho rancho.
