adventure and ecology in the untamed wilderness of NEW ZEALAND.

Immerse in the rugged prehistoric landscapes of Aotearoa (New Zealand). On this course, we will travel to Queenstown, the adventure capital of the South Island, where we will orient ourselves to Aotearoa’s unique history and ecology, before setting off into the wilderness of Fiordland National Park, part of the Te Wahipounamo UNESCO World Heritage Site. Home to deep fiords, glacial carved valley, fern covered forests, Māori archaeological sites, and the iconic Kea mountain parrots, this is a place with an ecological and cultural history unlike anywhere else on earth. We will experience the wonders of Fiordland through 5 days of backpacking and backcountry camping.
