Want to go piranha fishing? Climb a Tepui and come face-to-face with carnivorous plants? Swim under the world's highest waterfall? Bike the Andes Mountains? Or how about soaking naked in a natural hot spring pool where clothing is optional?
Exotic Worldwide Adventures newest venture is online at http://members.aol.com/exoticwa offering travel adventure, ecological and wildlife tours to remote, isolated natural areas, specializing in Venezuela and the Western United States.
Steve Paulick, expert outdoorsman and the company's founder states: "Our concept is to boldly take travelers where few people have gone before. We're one of only a handful of companies arranging soft or hard adventure tours exclusively for specialized singles and seniors groups, families and couples. The more unusual the activity the more exciting it is to our clients."
One of Paulick's favorite expeditions takes travelers to Venezuela's Tepui, mesa-like mountains which Arthur Conan Doyle described in his book "The Lost World." Tepui is a Pemon Indian word for mountain. Tepui are one of the oldest land formations on earth and have been isolated for over millions of years both from each other and the lower ground.
The top of the tepuis saw the independent evolution of over 2000 endemic flora and fauna, that which grows no where else in the world. This is the highest percentage of endemic flora found anywhere on earth. They includes many kinds of meat-eating carnivorous plants. There is also a large amount of endemic animal life which include huge dinosaur-like lizards, amphibians, insects, mammals and many creatures not yet identified or known. Most tepui have never been touched by human foot and are like land-locked Galapagos islands.
Exotic Worldwide Adventures offers both soft and hard adventures. Travelers can climb a 16,200 foot Andes mountain, trek through jungle in the Amazon/Orinoco rain forest, or canoe up rivers stopping at Angel Falls - the world's highest waterfall where excursionists can gaze up at a cascade that falls more than 3,200 feet.
Other adventures promise angling for sportfish-including piranhas. A more reserved wildlife tour takes travelers into grasslands teeming with wild animals and exotic birds. While yet another takes travelers
diving in remote Caribbean seas, and windsurfing along the coast.
Popular activities include:
* Cross-country skiing tour to isolated log cabins
* Clothing optional hot spring pools in the Rocky Mountains
* Backpacking in Colorado Canyons
* Caribbean diving and windsurfing
* Sportfishing for piranhas
Many other tours are also offered, including journeys to other countries. |
