The Americas The Americas are a destination holding some of the best wildlife experiences on the planet. For many, a visit to the Galapagos, made so famous by Darwin many years ago, is an ideal introduction and one Wildlife Worldwide recommends. Our other favourites include bears in Canada and, for the intrepid wildlife enthusiast, Guyana. I'll never stop raving and reminiscing about my Wildlife Worldwide trip to the Galapagos Islands. There was one particular day when we hiked to one of the fi nest viewpoints in the archipelago, then transferred to a nearby beach and snorkelled with some Galapagos penguins before paddling with a friendly group of juvenile white- tipped reef sharks - all before breakfast. It doesn't get much better than that. Mark Carwardine. Author, photographer and BBC zoologist " cular hipelago, s hat. "
