Discovering the Route of Alexander Von Humboldt

6 days

Trip Snapshot

A biologist, humanist, geographer and astronomer, the German Alexander von Humboldt made a great exploration trip through America that revealed unknown dimensions of the continent. Alexander von Humboldt is considered by some to be the last universal scientist. The exploration trips and scientific studies of the German naturalist were so extensive and far-reaching that today many geographical features bear his name, such as the cold current that runs along the coast of Peru, rivers, bays, waterfalls, natural parks, even a crater on the moon, in addition to numerous species of plants and animals. During this 6-day trip, discover the Alto Orinoco that was part of the route that the expeditionary naturalist Alexander von Humboldt made in the 14th century, passing through Puerto Inírida - Guainía, raudales de Atures and Maipures, The Mavecure Hills, El Tuparro National Natural Park and La Estrella Fluvial del Sur.
