An epic new Patagonia ebiking tour, Antarctica, and more!
|
Hello Reader, Experience Torres del Paine Like Never Before! If Patagonia has been on your wish list for adventure travel, I have the perfect tour for you! In 2023, I took this trip as a trial run to work out the kinks and to promote it as a new way to see Patagonia. It ended up being one of my favorite trips I’ve ever taken. It spoke to me in so many ways – through culture, adventure, challenge, wildlife, friendships, food, and remote landscapes – all wrapped up in a great journey to get to Torres del Paine. I knew immediately that I would offer this as an Ottsworld tour because it was everything I love about travel – and I wanted to share that with others. This pioneering e-bike tour offers a unique way to explore this iconic destination, steering you away from the beaten path and into the heart of Patagonia's mesmerizing landscapes and estancia culture. Why Choose Ebiking in Patagonia? Spectacular Scenery: Marvel at the majestic Torres del Paine from a distance, soaking in panoramic views that hiking trails simply can't offer. Cultural Immersion: Journey from estancia to estancia, immersing yourself in the rich heritage of Patagonia's ranching culture, led by local expert guides. Authentic Estancia Lodging: Experience genuine hospitality as you bunk down in authentic estancias along the route. From shared stories around the campfire to savoring mouthwatering Patagonian asados (BBQs), every moment promises to be unforgettable...and delicious. Wildlife Viewing: Herds of wild horses run across our path, and curious guanacos stop grazing to look at us inquisitively. You'll also experience rheas (birds that look like ostriches), sheep, foxes, flamingos, and many condors. It's a Patagonian safari! The Joy of E-Bikes: Take on the Patagonia wind on top-of-the-line electric mountain bikes. The Giant Talon Ebike ensures a smooth ride on even the most challenging terrain. With customizable support modes and long-lasting battery life, you'll conquer the wind and every hill with ease. Be One of the First to Ebike Torres Del Paine on this Unique Ottsworld Tour! Don't miss out on this epic adventure. Join me as we redefine the way you can experience Torres del Paine National Park. Dates: March 15 – 21, 2025 Cost: $5500 per person (double occupancy required, no solo stays available)

Festivals of Happiness in Bhutan I'm so excited to be leading this culturally focused tour in Bhutan this September! This trip coincides with the vibrant Buddhist Tsechu temple festivals.

Experience the festive energy of one of the largest Tsechus, then journey to Bumthang to experience village life, and Bhutan’s famous national sport of archery.

Hello Reader, Hello from Ireland! I just finished up my Ireland County Mayo tour with a fabulous group of 7 travelers! We hiked, biked, baked, drank whiskey, cuddled lambs (watch the video!), visited ruins, and took a cold dip in the Wild Atlantic Ocean! This was the first time I was in Ireland in the Spring and it is beautiful - and it helped that we had epic weather! After a very short break I'm starting my next Ottsworld Ireland tour tomorrow. A group of us will be taking on the 130 mile...
