kipu travel

Od gęstwin Amazonii, przez pustynne wydmy, aż po pradawne ruiny ukryte wśród andyjskich szczytów. Wyrusz z nami na przygodę życia szlakiem mieszkańców dawnego imperium Inków - Tawastinsuyu!.

Organizowanie wycieczek jest znacznie ciekawsze, gdy mamy do dyspozycji trzech przewodników. Masz ochotę zboczyć z przygotowanej przez nas trasy i zobaczyć coś zupełnie innego? Powiedz nam o tym, a chętnie pomożemy ci zrealizować ten plan.

Lubisz podróże, ale niekoniecznie kręcą cię uporządkowane wyjazdy z grupą ludzi, których nie znasz? Powiedz jakie wojaże najbardziej cię kręcą i pozwól nam przygotować coś specjalnie dla Ciebie i Twoich znajomych! Do dyspozycji mamy piękne plaże, pustynie, wysokie góry i gęstą dżunglę, więc jest z czego wybierać.

Każdy ma swoją wizję idealnego wyjazdu. Większość pragnie zobaczyć najbardziej pocztówkowe regiony miejsc, które odwiedza, ale są też tacy, co poszukują przygód poza główną trasą. Machu Picchu? Oczywiście, że możemy Ci pokazać, ale nic nie stoi na przeszkodzie, abyśmy zabrali cię w miejsca, o których istnieniu na pewno nie słyszałeś!

Niezależnie od tego czy jedziemy typową, turystyczną trasą, czy zapuszczamy się w zdecydowanie mniej znane tereny, to szlaki mamy doskonale przetarte i raczej trudno nas czymkolwiek zaskoczyć. Z wielką więc ochotą podzielimy się naszym doświadczeniem i zapewnimy ci przygodę, o której zawsze marzyłeś.

Fakty o Peru

W Peru istnieją trzy oficjalne języki – hiszpański, ajmara i keczua!

Puszcza amazońska zajmuje ponad 60% Peru i jest miejscem życia 20% ptaków na całym świecie!

Machu Picchu – słynne, inkaskie obserwatorium astronomiczne odwiedzane jest rocznie przez prawie pół miliona osób rocznie i znajduje się na liście siedmiu nowych cudów świata!

Na pustyni Sechua znajduje się jedna z najwyższych wydm piaskowych na świecie - Cerro Blanco. Jej wysokość to 1176 metrów!

Znajdujące się na wysokości 3810 metrów Titicaca jest najwyżej położonym żeglownym jeziorem na świecie!

Kanion Cotahuasi to jeden z najgłębszych kanionów na świecie – miejscami głębokość tam sięga 3500 metrów. To prawie dwukrotnie więcej niż wynik, jakim może pochwalić się słynny Wielki Kanion z USA!

W 1927 roku pewien peruwiański archeolog zwrócił uwagę świata na 70 olbrzymich geoglifów wykonanych na pustyni przez plemię żyjące na tamtych terenach między 300 rokiem p.n.e. a 900 rokiem n.e. Dziś słynne linie z Nazca są jedną z największych atrakcji turystycznych i przedmiotem szczególnego zainteresowania ze strony ufologów!

Peru uważa się za jeden z najważniejszych punktów na mapie miłośników podróży gastronomicznych! Co roku setki najbardziej uznanych kucharzy na świecie odwiedza Limę i Cusco, aby szkolić swoje umiejętności pod okiem lokalnych

Ziemniak pochodzi z Peru! Mimo że w kraju tym spotkać można 3000 odmian tej bulwy, ziemniak traktowany jest jako drobny dodatek do posiłku, a nie jego główny składnik!

Overall rating

Overall it was a great experience! We had two guides, first for the kayak then another guide joined us once we were done kayaking. Both guides were easy to talk with, funny, and knew the land's history and the foliage. ... The fun stops with jumping into pools of water. The ziplines were a blast! The final plunge into another pool of water was awesome! The lunch was yummy. The company accommodated our request with a gluten-free bread and treat! I would highly recommend the trip!

Keegan and Saber (incredibly unsure on both of those spellings) were amazing guides. They were super laid back, funny, knowledgeable, and thorough. These guys were fun to follow around for the day, breaking up sections t ... o explain plant life, facts about Kauai or parts of the Kipu Ranch, and of course some harmless practical jokes on us tourists. Everything was very safe and friendly and they made sure to give clear instructions in regards to matters of safety and equipment. It made for a rather seamless and enjoyable experience for all. I cannot recommend this company/excursion enough!

Fun way to end our trip!

We came as a group of 10 to celebrate a teen birthday on our last day! The guides were very relaxed and fun. They keep you intrigued while passing thru each leg of the journey. The swim holes are epic! Like highlight ... of the tour for me! The zips were easy, fun and different! I've been on many styles of ziplines, never like some of these! Fun treat! The river was beautiful and the lush hike was very dense and felt super adventurous! Thanks to Keegan and "Grumpy" (not really) for making it a fun day in nature!

Travel | Hawaii: An off-road adventure through Kauai’s historic Kipu Ranch

This is a historic site tied to Hawaiian royalty — and to Hollywood royalty, as well. Many iconic movies have been filmed here, from “Pirates of the Caribbean” to “Indiana Jones.” I’ll have a chance, along with the 20 or so people in my group, to jump into the river on the same rope swing that Harrison Ford used to make his seaplane getaway in “Raiders of the Lost Ark.” Hope there’s gear for that.

Over the years, I’ve been all over this lush, serene island and seen it from many vantage points, cycling down Waimea Canyon’s roads at 35 miles per hour, hiking to the top of Sleeping Giant, even honeymooning in Princeville. But experiencing the verdant Garden Island in this way — via a four-wheel drive Kawasaki UTV — is new and a bit thrilling.

Off-roading on a tropical island means varied terrain and mercurial weather conditions, so we expect our clothes and closed-toe shoes to get dirty. Our guides, Marlon and Joshua of Kipu Ranch Adventures , walk us through UTV operation and safety tips. We learn what to do when you hit a drop in the trail (keep your vehicle level), come across wild pigs (stop and allow them to cross, of course) and why it’s important to feather the brakes instead of slamming on them (it helps reduce sliding in wet or slippery conditions).

In total, we’ll cover 12 miles in three hours, stopping for scenic selfies and brief, yet fascinating stories about Hawaii’s history and native plant life. So after a few test runs, we tighten our helmets and begin our ride past lush green pastures and wide-open views of majestic Mount Waialeale, the second wettest spot on Earth. Then we descend into our first downhill ride, arriving just above the tropical Huleia Valley, and its sea of papaya, guava, mango and avocado trees. Come summer, the guides let you pick as many as you want and take them home.

We stop for panoramic pictures while Marlon and Joshua share the history of Kipu Ranch. Until the mid-1800s, it was a site of Hawaii’s sugar cane industry, owned by Princess Ruth Ke’elikolani. In 1879, she sold it to friend and neighbor William Hyde Rice, on the condition that it would remain in his family and never be developed.

In addition to the ATV rides, the Rice family runs about 800 head of cattle on the land, and as we bounce by, we see them sniffing wildflowers and grazing on native grasses. The farther into the jungle we go, the more cool and moist the air becomes; bushes and bamboo brush our elbows as we hug a sharp turn and ease our way (feather, feather) down a muddy hill.

That’s when we park our vehicles and take a short walk to the bank of the Huleia River, where the famous rope dangles from a tree. Conveniently, there’s a large rock under the rope, so Joshua steps on it and demonstrates one of three ways to do your best Indiana Jones: Swing out and splash into the water, Tarzan out and back, or do what Joshua calls “The Hollywood.”

“Just grab the rope and lean back like you’re about to take off while I snap your picture,” he says. “It’ll be our secret.” I chicken out, but those smart enough to have worn their bathing suits under their clothes go for it, while we hoot and make jungle noises.

After a few more pictures, we begin our ascent 800 feet to Mount Haupa. What’s great about our guides is that they’re also story-telling historians and self-taught naturalists. As we climb the trail, Marlon points out naupaka flowers and specifically, their leaves.

“You’ll find these in a lot of snorkeling spots,” he says. “Squeeze them and let the water drip on your goggles. It makes a great natural de-fogger.”

Another few hundred yards and we reach the top of the mountain. From the overlook, we see Kipu Kai, one of Kauai’s most remote beaches, stretched out before us. Kipu Kai is a large cove on the southeast coast of Kauai, between Poipu and Lihue. This UTV tour is one of the only ways to see this rugged coastline, too, unless you own a plane or kayak.

The beach played a starring role in “The Descendants,” but the story Joshua tells us about a legendary battle that took place here, on the wedge of golden sand between two steep ridges, is far more riveting than the travails of George Clooney’s character.

It starts with King Kamehameha, who was slowly building his kingdom of islands in the late 1700s, including several attempts to conquer Kauai. But the island, led by Princess Ruth’s great-grandfather, King Kaumuali’i, evaded him.

In 1803, when disease overtook Kamehameha’s armies, King Kaumuali’i told him to return home with his men. Over the next few years, Kamehameha amassed the largest armada Hawaii had ever seen, returning with massive cannons and large-scale war canoes to these very shores. With complete bloodshed imminent, Kaumuali’i offered himself to the imposing king, who, according to legend, stood 7 feet, 11 inches tall.

Standing on that ridge, listening to Joshua’s story with muddy shoes and a full heart, I realize my safety helmet and goggles don’t seem so necessary after all.

Off-road tours with Kipu Ranch Adventures start at $146 (adults) and $96 (kids 9-17), or $96 to ride with a guide. Includes drink, snack and safety gear. Tours last three hours and start at 7 a.m. or 1:30 p.m. daily, with an additional 9:30 a.m. tour offered on weekdays from June through August. Kipu Ranch is located at 235 Kipu Road in Lihue.
