The Andes to Amazon Pioneering Challenge

An amazing experience, from acclimatising in Cusco and Machu Picchu; to cycling up to 4,700m in the Andes mountains, before rapidly descending 3,900m down into the Amazon Basin; and finally travelling by boat deep into Primary Rainforest! A challenge worthy of the name and never to be forgotten.

I first travelled with Discover Adventure in 1999, cycling from Simla, up into the Himalayas; then down to the Ganges. Both are unforgettable experiences that challenged me at many levels, whilst enriching my love of life.

Lands End to John O Groats by Mr K P 16, 9 May 2016

positive

well organised but informal, which created a lovely atmosphere. plenty of snacks and water at stops, though the sandwiches felt a tad bit petrol garage bought. great job of marking the route. provision of download routes in advance would have been good. would do again :)

Everest Base Camp Trek by LucyDawe, 13 Apr 2016
Holiday Rating:

EBC amazing adventure

from start to finish DA gave me the best experience of my life again. Nepal is the most amazing country and the trek was hard but getting the Base Camp was all the more worth it because of it. Jo Bradshaw as our leader was on point every step and i couldnt recommend DA highly enough.

Trek Kilimanjaro by Jonny, 17 Mar 2016
Holiday Rating:

A breathtaking and lifechanging experience!

Our trip was a 10 day trip up and down Mt. Kilimanjaro via the Machame route. We were actually on the mountain for 6 days in total. It was a fantastic experience and one that I will never ever forget. The scenery, the changing landscape on the way up, the local people and summiting the roof of Africa.... Unbelievable!! If you're even considering climbing Kili, DO IT. And do it with Discover Adventure!

Rating for tour operator:

Discover Adventure were excellent at every step of the way. The booking was quick and easy, they were all too happy to answer my many questions on the lead up to departure and there was good contact and updates throughout. All of the porters and local guides were fantastic - friendly, approachable and they'd do anything for you. Their knowledge of the mountain was second to none and we all felt very safe and well looked after in their hands. The food was excellent and plentiful, we always had fresh drinking water and there was warm water for washing every evening in camp. Our DA guide Vic was once again excellent. We couldn't of asked for any better. Vic was full of pearls of wisdom about trekking and camping that just made your trip that bit easier. What he didn't know about trekking up Kili wasn't worth knowing. Again he couldn't do enough for us, actually carrying my bag for me on day 3 on the lead up to Lava Tower when I was ill with altitude sickness. But he kept me going. He kept us all going and 100% of our trip summited - quite a rarity we were told. This is testament to Vic's leadership - he made the trip! He lead from the front and we had complete trust in him. And I know that all of the group felt the same! All in all an excellent ad entire and the trip of a lifetime. I'm already looking at what I can book next with DA!!
