Six ways through the continent.

Every tour
A jaguar in the Amazon photographed on a Yolda expedition

Amazon Basin, Brazil

Amazon jungle

The full Amazon: canoe, canopy, night walks. Jaguars if the river is kind. Scarlet macaws whether it is or not. Hossein shoots with you.

A canoe on an Amazon tributary at first light

Brazil, Peru & Colombia

Amazon riverboat

A riverboat into indigenous territories. Pink dolphins, anacondas, remote communities. The light on the Rio Negro at the meeting of waters.

Aerial view of Iguazú Falls and the surrounding rainforest

Brazil & Argentina

Iguazú Falls

The falls as a photograph, not a postcard. Aerial of Devil's Throat, the rainforest around it, the spray that eats a lens if you're careless.

Salar de Uyuni reflecting the sky at dusk

Uyuni, Bolivia

Salar de Uyuni

Salt at sunrise, geysers at dawn, pink flamingos on altiplano lagoons, and the darkest sky you'll shoot. World-class astrophotography.

Rio Carnival dancers in the Sambadrome

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Rio Carnival

Carnival as work, not a party ticket. Samba schools in the Sambadrome, street blocos, the city at night. Colour that does not wait.

Lodge hammocks at sunset on a Yolda expedition

Sacred Valley, Peru

Machu Picchu

The Inca Trail to the lost city. Sunrise over the stones, the Sacred Valley, Andean light that does the work if you wait for it. Galápagos and Patagonia on request.

How a trip works

You inquire. He takes you. You leave with the pictures.

$450 USD / day private. Group quotes on request. Photos included.

01

Tell us the photograph you want

Jaguar. Salt flats. A citadel at dawn. WhatsApp is enough. Hossein will say if the season is right.

02

He walks it with you

Small groups. A private day is $450 USD. Every journey includes a professional album of the trip, delivered digitally.

03

You leave with the pictures

Not a folder of iPhone files. A body of work from the expedition — yours to keep, print, and remember by.

If this is the year

WhatsApp is fastest. Name the place. He'll say when to go.
