It is a striking display of nature’s raw, advancing power. Patagonia, Argentina.

The Heart of the Falls. From the edge of the upper decks, the sheer volume of the Iguazu River becomes a beautifully overwhelming experience.

The Unspoiled Shore. From a bird’s-eye view, the geography of Vieques shows the breathtaking Caribbean contrast. The lush, wild vegetation meets the stark white of the sands, leading directly into a sea of liquid turquoise. Vieques, Puerto Rico.

It’s a waypoint where the vertical walls of the gorge create a corridor of shifting color—a cinematic reminder that the most beautiful paths are often found where the river leads the way. Kyrgyzstan.

Finding the true line. There is no calibrating the distance when the asphalt ends and the terrain takes over. Moving through the deep interior, these ‘random’ roads lead to the most intentional places. It’s a waypoint where the vehicle is tested and the geography is felt in every vibration. Kyrgyzstan.
