Most Adventurous Birdwatching Trip?

This might be an odd one but I wanted to see if anybody had any ideas of adventurous birding trips? This past year I started a new tradition where in January (I'm a teacher so I'm on Christmas break) I go for a birding trip before school returns. This year I went to Orlando and Merritt Island because I'm from Florida anyway so it was only a couple hours drive and it was great. My wife has no interest in birds at all, but she loves hikes and nature (ironically except Florida because she says the heat just isn't worth the hike). She loves adventure and climbing mountains and things like that. So I'm trying to figure out maybe a destination in the US for next year that would require some adventuring to get to the bird watching if that makes any sense. Not just a boardwalk down and back, but something that requires some real effort. Any suggestions would be helpful, thanks!

Had lunch inside a cave in El Calafate – and it was worth every penny

Just got back from El Calafate, and the 'Nativo Experience' was easily one of the highlights of my trip.

You hop in a 4x4, drive along the shore of Lago Argentino, learn about the Tehuelche people, see 4,000-year-old cave paintings, and then... you sit down for lunch inside a cave with a view of the lake and the Andes. Honestly, the lamb casserole was incredible, the wine helped, and the setting was pure magic.

I'll attach one of my favorite photos from that afternoon – the light on the lake was unreal.

A couple of things I wish I'd known before going:
- It's about 3.5 hours total, so it's perfect for your first or last day in Calafate.
- The road is bumpy – if you get motion sick, take something before you go.
- They do have vegetarian options, but you need to let them know in advance.

Would I do it again? 100%.

Has anyone else done this? Or are you planning a trip to Calafate and have questions about this or other excursions? Happy to help – I learned a few things the hard way so you don't have to :)

Mongolia Trekking partner

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this type of question.
If not please let me know, and if you know what subreddit is better I would highly appreciate it.

I am a solo traveler and looking for a place to look for traveling partner to do a van road trip or a horse riding trek (something around 14 days). What is a good place to look for such partner/ group? Can I just come to ulaanbaatar and start looking there?

Thank for the answers :)

People needed for Rock climbing/Rappelling the Faroe Islands on 31 July to hit the operator's minimum (need 6 more!) - once in a lifetime thing, no prev experience needed

We booked a sea-cliff rock climb in the Faroe Islands for 31 July. They have an 8-person minimum and we are 2, so the trip only happens if we can fill 6 more spots.

No previous climbing experience needed. The operator brings all the gear, sets the anchors and runs every climb top-rope. They take complete beginners on this regularly.

It's the kind of day people remember for decades. Climbing a cliff face with the ocean directly below you and puffins on the rocks.

Cost per person works out around £50-60, split evenly across the group.

DM me if you'll be in the Faroes around then, or planning to be!

UPDATE: NEED 3 MORE PEOPLE NOW
