'...scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight.' ~David Livingstone

In early November 1855, Livingstone traveled down the Zambezi River to see for himself the area the natives called "smoke that thunders." Approaching the spot in canoes, the party

could see the columns of spray and hear the thunderous roar of water miles away from the falls.

Greetings from Bio Bio Expeditions!We hope this finds you thoroughly enjoying your summer adventures with good friends and family.  We are starting to feel the chill in the air already, with promises of lots of fluffy white goodness this winter (at least that's our

winter wish at the worldwide headquarters in Truckee, CA, near Lake Tahoe!). It's hard to believe that August is already here!  Do you have plans for the fall?  If you are feeling the itch of getting out there and exploring the world, we have a few suggestions for you this fall!  Join us for a wild ride on the Zambezi that wouldn't be complete without wildlife viewing, soak in the culture of Bhutan or explore the Himalaya of Nepal with a trek to the Tamur River with Stan Ricketts!

A Letter from the OwnersDear Adventure Traveler,

Thank you for your interest in Bio Bio Expeditions!

In 1992, we launched Bio Bio Expeditions based on our genuine love for travel and a desire to explore the most beautiful and remote spots on the globe. Our adventure travel company has grown in size and scope from our first initial trips on the Bio Bio River in Chile to include multi-faceted adventure travel vacations in hand-picked destinations worldwide including Patagonia: Chile & Argentina, the Zambezi River and onTanzania's Kilimanjaro in Africa, Bhutan in Asia, Machu Picchu in Peru, and the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador.

Our goal at Bio Bio Expeditions is to share our expertise and our love of wild places with our guests with unsurpassed enthusiasm. As the co-founders of Bio Bio Expeditions, we are directly involved with every aspect of your adventure travel: from the original trip planning, to picking well-appointed lodges, greeting our guests, captaining paddle boats, training guides, by incorporating the locals into our trips, or by cooking river side feasts and teaching kayaking!  We wear many hats and have undying passion for what we do! 

We ask people who have traveled with us what genuinely sets Bio Bio apart. They tell us that it's beyond exotic destinations, great guides, good food, and accommodations. They reminisce about the magical chemistry of adventure and camaraderie. They tell us it is about discovery of not only wilderness, but of themselves, and about renewing their enthusiasm for life. They say it's to be far away and yet feel totally at home... and to come back and find their lives and perspectives changed forever.

Our Bio Bio adventure vacations are led by a crew of international rafting and kayaking, and trekking superstars who are establishing a new standard of excellence in the outdoor adventure industry. They are known for their friendly, caring hospitality and their knowledge of the culture, history and ecology in the many countries we visit. Safety is always a priority and we were proud to have been chosen to be the official safety team for the 2000 International Whitewater Challenge on the Futaleufu River in Chile.

At Bio Bio Expeditions, our team is closely tied together by a true desire to make your adventure with us pure magic. Our intent is to exceed your expectations and offer you an authentic, unique journey to some of the planet’s most astonishing places. Whether you are rafting through the Cotahuasi River's canyon in southern Peru, hiking the Inca trail, climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro, trekking in Torres del Paine in Patagonia or paddling the azure clear waters of the Futaleufu River in Chile, our goal is that you will absolutely love your experience with us!

We look forward to sharing our passion for adventure with you and warmly invite you to join us. Start your next adventure by giving us a call!
