After a 5 hour drive SSW out of Nairobi Iarrived at the Amboseli Sopa Lodge, located on the outskirts of Amboseli National Park.  The lodge is stunningly beautiful and comfortable. Yes, we are “in the bush.” I know, because there is no internet and cell phones do not work.  Actually the lodge has had internet, but it does not work anymore, and the cell phone coverage is limited to one carrier, the name of which is, wonderfully, Safaricom. The lodge provides every other creature comfort one would

The Inti Raymi is a festival held every year in Cusco. 

The Incas, like many other indigenous peoples around the world,  worshiped the sun, and every 24th of June they held the ”Inti Raymi”, which means ”sun party” in Quechua.  It starts at the temple of the sun, and goes to the main square.  It finishes at Sacsayhuamán. Sacrifices were made during the event. This was done in Inca Times but ended after the empire collapsed. Some people in Cuzco started it again in the 1940′s.  It is now held ever

Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire. It has much history from Inca and Colonial times. Our tour allows you to see the city and the sites there.  

The city is located in the Andes Mountains of southern Peru. The city was built in the shape of a puma, the puma’s head being Sacsayhuaman.  During colonial times, many new buildings were built here, often over Inca sites.  Many Inca sites still exist here, and during this half day tour of the city you will see interesting attractions from Inca tim

There are two mountains by the site of Machu Picchu, called Machu Picchu Mountain and Huayna Picchu Mountain.  

Huayna Picchu is the mountain that you see in most pictures of Machu Picchu.  It is located on the other side of the valley opposite Machu Picchu.  Machu Picchu means ”old peak” in Quechua and Huayna Picchu means ”young peak”. We offer tours that allow you to see these mountains, and of course the Machu Picchu itself. See more here. 

If you want to come and see Machu Picchu, one of the seven wonders of the modern world, we invite you to see our tour. 

Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas, was unknown to most of the world until relatively recently. It is located near the town of Aguas Calientes, which itself has many places to see.   This tour allows you to see Machu Picchu in just 1 day, for those who do not have enough time for a regular tour. You will still be able to see the most important parts of Machu Picchu though

BEHIND THE SCENES AT A GILDED-AGE COTTAGE

All the Newport mansions are over-the-top grand, for the self-made millionaires who built them wanted to look as if they came from old money, and to achieve that, they were willing to spend a lot of new money. Touring these summer “cottages” today, you gawk at expansive gardens, expensive European art and furniture, sumptuous ballrooms and guest rooms, and enough rococo molding to impress any king named Louis. But beyond the ubiquitous gilt of the Gild

• BAY OF ISLANDS: If you can survive the four-hour drive (for which I rented a car), I highly recommend checking out the Bay of Islands. I got some incredible weather and had the privilege of working with R. Tucker Thompson and meeting some awesome people. Paihia is a great place to make your home base, and you can check everything out in about four days. Kings Road has some cool bars and several good backpacking hostels.  If you have the time to kill, Russell is a cool town across the bay, and th

Talk about Nosara, Costa Rica, and you actually mean a stretch of several beaches on the Nicoya Peninsula – from Playa Ostional to Playa Nosara, Playa Pelada and Playa Guiones. This remote area of Guanacaste, just north of Samara in the country’s north Pacific, is known for long wide beaches, fantastic surfing, peace and quiet, and of course, it’s impressive wildlife.

Three top nature activities you must do on a visit to Nosara are:

Turtle watching at the Ostional National Wildlife Refuge

It is said in Costa Rica that the best “all-terrain vehicle” for navigating the country is a horse. Costa Ricans love horses and their riding traditions – their equestrian roots coming from the Spanish who brought horses with them to Central America in the 16^th century.

The northwestern province of Guanacaste is the heart and soul of Costa Rica’s equestrian life. Here, vast rolling plains, towering volcanoes and mountains, and a sunny, dry and hot climate of the dry tropical forest create perfect
