Description
From cast iron-fronted buildings to the grandly disastrous post-modern Portland Building, much of Portland, Oregon’s history can be told through the buildings and street layouts; most importantly, the prioritization of parks throughout the city center. How did the city’s early urban planners decide on their layouts? How do modern designers look at the past and plan for the future? Who are the people these streets are named for? What’s with all the roses? It’s not a dry history: full of back-room deals, early deaths and greed; and then there were the hippies! We’ll also discuss the modern rise of radical activists in Portland and how that is intimately connected to the city’s history going back more than a century. Two hours, two miles

Facilitated Team Building program
For adults who want a more extensive Team Building Program based on specific goals, our low ropes facilitated programs with experienced instructors focus on active interactions designed for guests to step outside of their typical comfort zones. We highlight the potential strengths of team task completion and the challenges of processes such as communication, group decision making, and task sharing/delegation. Our program is regularly described as fun, engaging, challenging, sometimes frustrating, thought-provoking, and personally enlightening. It will start with ice breakers, then move to focused initiatives based on your goals (like leadership & problem solving skills), then end with debriefs that you can take back to your everyday life. The group will walk away knowing more about themselves and each other and hopefully shed light on some ideas the team can develop and implement long term.

Canoe Tour on Venice Canals
The Venice Canals are a unique historical and architectural wonder best experienced on the water, even better if you catch the fun at sunset. By renting your own canoe, you will have the freedom to explore and marvel at the bridges, birds, fish, and houses along these 1900s waterways at your own pace. Take your time (and tons of photos) as you unwind amongst the colors and creatures

Interact with long-tailed macaques in their natural habitat in the peaceful ambience of Bali’s lush forests. The Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary is home to over 1,200 monkeys.

While guides are always on watch, keep an eye on your belongings and avoid bringing both food and water bottles along. The sanctuary is open daily and an entrance fee is required. You might want to combine your visit to the sanctuary with other attractions in Ubud, including the rice terraces and ancient landmarks.
