   |

It was a total of 100 kilometers flying along high mountain ranges of which some rise over 2,500 meters in altitude with impressive and imposing rocky walls. A wonderful show that one can only see in great sport video documentaries... >> |

Flying The Atacama Desert
Iquique, Chile, November 2011
By Ned Israelsen and Chuck Savall |
|
|
|
|
|
  |
|

I bailed first as the thermal weakened, and found myself above an amazing plateau of a hundred undulating little peaks and dips stretching half a mile north and west. The late afternoon sun emphasized the colorful, jagged texture. The plateau sat atop a point that jutted west from the mountains all the way to the sea. I circled slowly, entranced by the beauty below. As I gained altitude bit by bit, an idea began to form. Could I go up the coast by flying over the plateau? Did I dare? What if I had to land in the middle of those badlands?... >> |

BBC Top Gear Chile Bolivia Special
Altiplano and The Atacama, October 2009
|
|
|
|
|
|
   |
|
| |
Last October Antofaya Expeditions leaded BBC Top Gear team through Andean Altiplano to hights over 17,000ft and then down trough the driest desert on the planet - The Atacama and to the coast of the Pacific. It is the latest in the line of great Top Gear specials. This time Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May are dropped deep in the Bolivian rainforest armed only with three shabby 4x4s. What follows is their most extraordinary journey to date. They attempt to drive from the heart of Bolivia to the coast of Chile, encountering local drug lords, the debilitating effects of high altitude and the terrifying sheer drops of the infamous Death Road along the way. The show is going to air on December 27th, 2009 around the world for millions of avid watchers. |

Expedition Explorers II - Return to Ofqui, Patagonia, Chile, March 2009 |
|
|
|
|
|
   |
|
| |
Expedition Explorers II was Antofaya's biggest adventure yet with first descents of glacial run-off rivers, visits to five very remote glaciers, some visited only by a handful of people and two that may never have been visited by anyone and are yet unnamed. We trekked across 30km (19 miles) of one of the most pristine and isolated beaches the mind could imagine and fought our way through thick brush and Patagonian jungle. We camped in front of glaciers... >> |

Fly Atacama - Desert Paragliding Adventures - Iquique, Chile, November 2008 |
|
|
|
|
|
   |
|
| |
Iquique is many paragliding dream trips rolled into one: ridge soaring, soft sand dune playgrounds, endless soft thermal mornings, rowdy afternoons if you want them, wide evening glass-offs that last well past sunset, remote coastal adventure flying, unlimited cross-country potential, beach landings, over-city flights, all you could ask from a flying mecca. Not to mention good, inexpensive food and wine, in a town with an easy-going ambiance... >> |

Valle de los Exploradores, valley of the explorers … an enticing name for any adventure seeker. One look at the dramatic green-carpeted mountains, topped with jagged granite and hints of white peeking out from the vast millions year-old ice field they host and we knew it was going to be a big one... >> |
