One of my stand out memories was when I was setting up Latin Odyssey and wanting to offer something a little different.  I remember being in a lonely corner of north-west Argentina, a small town called San Carlos, searching for some unique white water to raft. I stumbled across a remote rafting station.  I met the owners who asked me to stay the night and after a few too many beers they decided to take me on a five day journey across some of the most remote rivers I have ever encountered. This ended with a three day rafting expedition down the Bermejo River which forms the border with Bolivia.

This secluded river, accessible only by entering Bolivia through an unknown border crossing was devoid of human life.  It was an impenetrable jungle and the river was our guide. Nights were spent sleeping on the few sandy banks we found and the days were spent rafting or carrying the heavy raft over the most dangerous of rapids. All the while we felt like we were being watched by the unknown sounds of the wildlife that lived there.  My rafting guide’s hospitality and generosity was incredible.  They took me into their homes, showed me a unique part of their world, never asking for anything in return and left me with an experience that will last a lifetime.
