Join a naturalist outside Curu, Costa Rica for an exclusive private reserve tour to see sloths, anteaters, howler monkeys, and vibrant tropical birds. Ply the quiet mangrove waters in a six-person boat beyond Puerto Chiapas in search of exotic birds, then visit with local fishermen who candidly share their routines and daily challenges. Indulge in a Huatulco steam bath in the tradition of ancient Mayans. Sample fresh fish and tasty truffles at Seattle's iconic Farmer's Market. Wander one of North America's oldest and largest Chinatowns in Vancouver and savor delicious dim sum. Drop a line in the waters of Tongass National Forest and later cook your Alaskan seafood catch with the help of a skilled Ketchikan chef.
