Rib Expedition & Adventure

The Ascending South America Expedition is a journey aimed at showcasing the unique natural beauty of the rivers and the fascinating diversity of cultural traditions hidden on its banks. We travel along the entire 6500km length of the continent, from the Delta of the Paraná river in Buenos Aires, Argentina, towards Manaus, in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, drawing attention on the environmental threats and climate change in and around the river, and highlighting several sustainable solutions.
