Follow WideOyster’s Lead Explorer Malte Clavin into Panama’s dense rainforest – on the forgotten Camino Real. What begins as a strenuous hike turns into an exciting journey through history – along a route full of treasures and wonders.
A capital framed by lush green jungle, with countless delicious restaurants, lush nature parks and colourful temples. Gigantic gorges with rushing rivers and paths only for those with a head for heights. Dark, silent forests with ancient giant trees. Beautiful lakes, mountain meadows and tea fields interspersed with seas of clouds. Welcome to Taiwan!
The impressive basalt columns of Staffa Island inspired painters, composers and writers to create masterpieces. On Lismore you will find Duns, Brochs and shepherds, but no police. At Buchanan Castle, nature proves that everything is ephemeral, even the most magnificent buildings.
Valparaiso is world-famous for its colourful houses and historic lifts, the ‘Ascensores’. Situated on the Pacific Ocean, the port city with its colourful street art and exciting architecture turns every visitor’s head – in the truest sense of the word. In Chile’s Conguillio National Park, the volcanic peaks, the magnificent araucarias and the condors gliding through the sky are sure to turn at least as many heads.
In Valparaiso, we immerse ourselves in a vibrant culture that immediately captivates us. We then discover true natural beauty and breathtaking landscapes in Araucania. A truly contrasting journey.
No other country has smuggled itself into my soul more persistently than Burma. I wandered through towns, caves, fields and monasteries, hiked to remote hill tribes and documented novice ceremonies, weddings and cremations.
The greatest discoveries were the people of Burma, their touching tolerance and warm-heartedness. With TIMELESS BURMA, I want to make the photographs appear timeless as well as these timeless values. It is my final declaration of love to the country and its people.
Only here, near Espoo, can lovers of cold extremes complete an under-ice diving course in swimming trunks. But it’s about much more than just the spectacular.
From comfortable to extreme: snow-covered Finland offers some exceptional activities beyond the classic winter sports for those who like to experiment. Malte Clavin visited the only course in the world where you can learn to free dive under ice.
Attention: Extreme! Under-ice-diving-in-Badebüx. Plus pictures of ice climbing and ice breaking from wintry Finland.
Deep in the Amazon region is a place where you can experience the rainforest in an extraordinary way, surrounded by the wilderness and all its inhabitants.
Olympic National Park in the north-west of the USA is home to three ecosystems: Almost 2,500-metre-high mountains, which I hiked through on snowshoes, rugged rocky coasts, whose wide beaches and colourful tide pools attract big and small explorers, and the northernmost rainforest in the world, a mystical magic world of mosses and trees up to a hundred metres high.
In Saas-Fee and the Aletsch, WideOyster’s Lead Explorer Malte Clavin explores a via ferrata, suspension bridges, nature hikes, monster scooters, delicious local hut cuisine and the adventurous highlight of a glacier hike.
