Ecuador doesn't ask you to choose between worlds. In a single trip, you can cross the Andes, descend into the Amazon, and land on islands that rewired how scientists understand life on earth. It's one of the most biodiverse countries on the planet.

This month, we go wild. Ecuador & the Galápagos on one side, volcanoes, rainforest, and islands unlike anywhere on earth. Zimbabwe on the other, ancient landscapes, extraordinary wildlife, and experiences most travelers never find. Follow along.

Rio de Janeiro is one of those cities that doesn't need an introduction, and yet it always manages to surprise you.

🇧🇷 First day in Rio: beach at Ipanema, sunset from Sugarloaf, or samba in Lapa?

There's a reason Rio's skyline stops people in their tracks. Sugarloaf Mountain rises straight from the water's edge, and the views from the top are exactly what you'd expect from a country that doesn't do anything halfway. 🇧🇷

@CruisingCal What an incredible day of service together!

[Big Five Tours and Expeditions @bigfivetours]

On May 16th, we observe the Mahen Day of Service: a tradition we began in honor of our founder, whose life was defined by serving others.

This year, our focus turns to children's mental health. We're proud to be spending the day with Tykes and Teens in Stuart, Florida.

The Kalahari doesn't look like most people's idea of a safari. No lush savannas, no dramatic river crossings, just a vast, ancient desert teeming with life that knows exactly how to survive it. That's exactly what makes it unforgettable.

Ruaha National Park is Tanzania's largest and one of its least visited. @jabaliridge sits right in the heart of it, built into the granite kopjes with eight suites and views that don't quit. This is Tanzania beyond the Serengeti. 🇹🇿

Did you know Colombia is the only country in South America with coastlines on both the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea? Two completely different worlds, one country.

Vietnam’s rice fields are shaped by hands, history, and time.
What appears peaceful at first glance is, in truth, a living expression of culture and community.

Is this a place you’d like to experience one day?

Towers rising straight from emerald water.
Kayaks slipping into hidden caves.
Sunrise so quiet you can hear the tide breathe.

This is Halong Bay.

Peru is known for its history, its biodiversity, its extraordinary places.
But for Edwar Montalvo, the real magic is simpler than that it’s the warmth, stories, and spirit of the people you meet along the way.

Did you know Peru recognizes multiple official languages, including Quechua and Aymara alongside Spanish. It’s a reflection of living cultures that continue to shape daily life across the Andes.

A morning that begins in near silence.
An afternoon carried by movement, sound, and light.
Japan lives in the space between; where tradition holds steady and modern life moves with purpose.
