Day 2-4 (Day 1 in Quito)
Tour starts in the Andes mountains range driving through "Volcano valley" stopping off at one of the most active volcanoes in the Country, Cotopaxi.
Here we spend a few nights doing Astrophotography workshops with Sony ambassador Robinski - known for his stunning Andean mountain scapes.
In the day we have the chance to climb nearby volcanoes, hike to a waterfall, photograph llamas or a portrait session with an indigenous family that lives in the rural parts of the mountain.
Type of photography: landscape, astro, portrait, wildlife & nature
Day 4-6
Set up camp at one of the only Science Labs situated in the Amazon, where new species are found every year.
We will be accompanied by Jaime Culebras, who has had work published in National Geographic and his workshop will be delving into the techniques of Herptile photography. We will be taking guided night walks through the forest with biologists teaching us the importance of conservation, whilst capturing epic content. This reserve has found new species of Herptiles, so we may even get lucky and be photographing a never before seen species of Frog!
Type of photography: Macro, wildlife, nature, landscape, conservation, studio
Day 7-9
We enter an Indigenous community and learn about how they live in harmony with nature, but also suffer from the impacts of deforestation in the area and how western influence can be a blessing, but also a curse to these communities. We will learn of their native traditions, ancestral legends over the campfire during the night, and in the day expect riverboat rides, waterfall & jungle treks and cultural games mixed in with Indigenous portrait masterclasses.
Type of photography: Nature, Macro, portrait, cultural, photojournalism
