Brazil is, of course, lots more than samba, Carnaval, and Petrobras. Or even, when it comes to cuisine, the likes of moqueca (a kind of fish stew), bobó de camarão (shrimp with manioc and coconut milk), and the national dish, the bean stew feijoada. On the streets of Rio de Janeiro, for example, there’s an avalanche of street food, and a star in the category is a variety of refreshing tropical juices.

One fine May day back in 1718, an Andalusian Franciscan friar, Antonio de Olivares, established the Misión San Antonio de Valero in an area first explored in the late 17th-century by Spaniards out of Quéretaro in New Spain (present-day Mexico), to establish Spanish presence and evangelise the local Payaya people. Over the succeeding decades, five more Catholic missions were built, forming the nucleus of the town that eventually grew into today’s city, but that first mission – which

The Maasai (also spelled Masai) are is a unique and popular tribe due to their distinctive, long preserved culture. Despite education, civilization and western cultural influences, the Maasai people have clung to their traditional way of life, making them a symbol of Kenyan culture as well as important in that of Tanzania.

Those who've traveled to this tiny (pop. barely three million), ancient country in the mountainous Caucasus region east of Turkey wonder why Armenia isn't on many travelers' bucket lists. Not a lot of nations can boast such an ancient and rich cultural heritage dating far back as the ancient times - a 6,000-year-old winemaking tradition, for example or a capital, Yerevan, 28 years older than the "Eternal City," Rome.

In addition to its senior status among South Island settlements (founded in 1841 and named after the famed English admiral Lord Nelson), this city of a bit over 51,000 also happens to lie at the geographical centre of New Zealand. And it's become a popular getaway for Kiwis attracted to its laid-back lifestyle and art/culinary scene, with a lively marketplace and a handful of museums, gardens, and other attractions thrown in (renting a bike is the best way to get around).

The Parque de las Leyendas is basically a zoo in the city of Lima - but with an amazing an unique "something extra". Located in the San Miguel district near the coast, west of the old city centre and north of Miraflores and Barranco, it is far, however, from just another municipal zoo. Now in its 54th year, not only was “Park of Legends” essentially the first zoo in Peru, but in recent years it has grown into much, much more than a mere animal farm. 

The zoo side of the park in the past had so

People are traveling more than ever before, and the reasons behind this are quite numerous. First, the means of commute are more sophisticated than they’ve ever been before, and via plane, you can now make a voyage in a matter of hours, instead of embarking on a perilous journey that lasts days or weeks.

Downtown Eugene, Oregon is decidedly more laid back and outdoorsy than much larger and more renowned Portland to the north. The University of Oregon's extensive in-town footprint and streets packed with local non-chain shopping make it a pedestrian haven.

Strategically ensconced on the south side of the Strait of Gilbraltar, Morocco‘s seventh largest city is a relatively little known destination among international visitors – except perhaps those who hop the ferry over on a day trip or overnighter from Spain‘s Costa del Sol. But this port city is packed with that uniquely Moroccan-flavoured history, architecture, cuisine, and culture – and furthermore, multicultural, its distinctly more cosm

The number of OTA's (online travel agencies) throughout the world is getting increased constantly.

The capital of Malaysia's northwestern state of Perak (pop. 658,000) has great tourist attractions as well as some lovely districts surrounding it - an undiscovered gem has over time proved to be a city that is undiscovered by many but has all the potential to offer a memorable experience to anybody who plans to visit.
