In Search Of The World's Most Poisonous Frog

You think it's easy being a photographer for National Geographic? Sure they get sent to some of the most amazing places on the planet and capture fantastic photographs of those destinations. But did you ever stop to wonder what they have to go through to get those great shots? Check out the video below for a very funny first hand account from photographer Mark Moffett, who traveled to Colombia to find an elusive, and very dangerous tree frog.

Trekking to the Lost City in Colombia

By now you would think I would know better than to surf on by the Best Hike blog. More than once editor Rick McCharles has added something new to my "life list" of must do treks, and today is no different.

A couple of days back Rick posted the video below that shows of an amazing multi-day trek that I hadn't heard of, but is now very much on my radar. The five day long, 50km hike, takes you through remote mountains and jungles in Colombia to visit the sacred city of Tayuna. The trek cannot be made independently, and service is offered by Sierra Tours. For more information, checkout Best Hike's page dedicated to the trek. 


Check out the amazing video below, and then lets start planning our trip!
