Ross Fraser asked:


An adventurous cruise through South America will take in a huge array of wildlife, you could see many natural wonders and some spectacular scenery, and even lost cities along the way. Rich with beauty and atmosphere, a South American cruise truly is a unique experience.

For travellers who are in search of breath taking mountain views, vast tropical rainforests and natural, rugged beauty a South American cruise really is it. The west coast of Chile with deep fjords and icy glaciers is something to behold. In contrast you could experience the tropical atmosphere of a mangrove river in Costa Rica or explore a tranquil fishing village in Mexico. This huge continent covers many thousands of miles and has equatorial tropics and sub Antarctic regions. There are fourteen countries and territories that make up the continent and that means some wonderfully diverse cultures as well as many interesting animals to be seen, from Whales to Penguins and Sea Lions as well as many tropical birds.

This is adventure cruising, and as well as the main cruise itself, you will probably want to take excursions away from your ship in order to truly experience this region. Boat up the Amazon to see the jungle surround you and a wonderful array of wildlife and birds that just can’t be seen anywhere else. Take an excursion to see OIinda, a wonderful Portuguese hilltop town which is now a UNESCO world heritage site. Or sightsee in the exotic and cosmopolitan Rio de Janeiro. You might even take in Port Stanley in the Falkland Islands on your route and experience a little slice of Britain out in the South Atlantic.

Travel round the Cape Horn at the southernmost tip of the southernmost continent, and visit Patagonia, a vast landscape of deserts and mountains that stretch between Chile and Argentina which in it’s gentlest parts looks something like the wildest areas of Scotland, here you can go penguin spotting and visit the national glacier parks, and possibly even see a killer whale. There are so many places to visit in this area that no cruise can take them all in, but whichever route you choose you are bound to experience some wonderful sights, and if visiting Antarctica appeals to you, it is possible to take a day cruise out there from some main cruises, but these can be expensive at around £1,500 per person for this day event. It is however a once in a lifetime experience.

In between visits to exotic places, there is of course the wonder of the South Atlantic ocean to see. From your ship at night you will be able to view the stars over the water in this vast unspoilt area, and there are many aquatic creatures to look out for along the way in the daytime such as the South American sea lion which can be found on the Peruvian, Uruguayan, Argentine and Chilean coasts. So, with fine dining aboard ship and adventurous trips inland to be taken, as well as incredible wildlife and astounding landscapes and seascapes to be seen, most people enjoy cruising this area which is like no other anywhere on the globe.

Andy Adams asked:


The previous two parts of this guide explored six possible holiday destinations in South America that were worthy of visiting this year.  As well as well known locations such as Peru and Brazil there are plenty of other locations such as Guatemala’s ancient ruins and the Chilean Desert which can offer all sorts of holidays from adventure holidays to relaxing beach lounging trips. 

The final four are locations that you certainly wouldn’t normally expect to see on a list of top holiday destinations but as trends are changing they very well may end up being the must-go-to spots this year.  This final part covers some more northern areas of South America, specifically some Caribbean locations that are becoming popular this year.

4.    Costa Rica

Costa Rica has the benefit of both the Caribbean sea and the Pacific Ocean on either side but despite having a vast amount of coastline it still has vast mountain ranges and not just rainforests but cloud forests.  These forests almost look like they are perennially foggy but in actual fact they are so high up that they are within the clouds. 

A lot of nature photography taken of rainforests with the dense clouds interspersed with the trees will likely be of these cloud forests in Costa Rica.  There are plenty of activities and hotels to stay at deep within the jungles themselves.  The aptly named El Silencio lodge and spa is located within the these cloud forest and has a yoga platform, full-service spa and for those looking for more adventure than relaxation can go horse trekking or rafting down a river.

3.    The Corn Islands, Nicaragua

The Corn Islands whilst just off the coast of Nicaragua are still considered to be within the Caribbean Sea.  Obviously like all other Caribbean Islands it has great reefs and coastlines for diving.  Deep sea diving is popular in the region and is becoming a well known spot in the scuba world.

The Corn Islands doesn’t sound too Latin in name; that is because it is a former British Protectorate and has recently been hoisted to the top of the list of best holidays for 2008 by a South American tour company due to its undeveloped land and superb marine life.  There are a few lodges and hotels on the island that people are flocking to this year.

2.    Belize

Belize is quite similar to the Corn Islands as it too is popular for diving with its Caribbean coastline and varied wildlife.  But more than this the southern Toledo district is an immense jungle that you can visit on nature trips to see the bird life in the area. 

One particular attraction is the region’s cocoa farms; chocolate fiends will be in heaven as this is where Green and Blacks’ Maya Gold bars are sourced from.  Belize is able to offer both of these attractions: warm Caribbean beaches and dense jungles that can offer a bit of shade.

And now the last of the ten recommended holiday destinations in South America…

1.    Zona Cafetera, Columbia

Columbia is at the top of this list as it is highly tipped to be the most visited South American location this year. With the film ‘Love in the time of Cholera’ being set in Cartagena it will no doubt draw in a lot of tourists from around the world.

Couple that with the New York Times putting Bogotá down as one of the must visit locations this year Columbia is likely to see a large influx of people getting hotels in one of the main cities.

So there you have it, the ten best locations in South America.  Some of the locations listed you may never have heard but many experts on the region have recommended them to the public this year.  If you book your holiday yourself you may be able to score cheap hotels if you just want to see the region or you could try one of the luxurious lodges or spas mentioned in this article.  Either way South America has a whole lot to give and will likely turn out to be the hot holiday location for 2008!

Andy Adams asked:


One of the best countries to visit is South America, full of rich culture and a complete world away from the European lifestyle South America is home to many stand out countries such as Mexico, Brazil and Peru.  The thing is that for every article you read on the (very considerable) wonders of Manchu Picchu there are a thousand other equally amazing sights to see in this immense continent.  This article will cover ten secret holiday locations that you should consider if you want to see South America this year.

10. Panama City, Panama

This city is likely to see an increase in tourism this year especially for two reasons; firstly since April of this year flight company KLM has new routes going to Panama City making it easier to travel there this year.  The second reason may be that the popular US TV show Prison Break was based there recently and helped showcase the relaxed city with its attractive mix of jungles and beaches.

The beaches can provide the perfect retreat from working life back home. Panama boasts over 900 species of birds, an amazing 1,500 species of trees and well over 7000 breeds of vascular plants.  This makes for the perfect holiday if you are a nature buff and don’t fancy bird watching in a damp field in the rain back home.

9.    Puebla & Oaxaca, Mexico

Mexico is a popular tourist spot for many Americans looking to venture outside their own borders. It is also popular amongst American college students during the summer and spring breaks.  But whilst it’s got a great party atmosphere if that isn’t quite your thing then there are plenty of other reasons to visit Mexico.

The main one that springs to mind is the cuisine, at some point chances are you’ll have encountered some derivative of Mexican cooking here in the UK but as with all specialist cuisine you can’t beat the taste at the source.  If you’re not content with simply eating the local food then there are local cookery courses that you can partake in if you prefer a hands on approach.  Cities like Puebla and Oaxaca have many cookery classes that can teach you the skills to impress family and friends upon your return from your holiday.

Mexico is also home to Cancun which has become popular in recent years and with many cheap flights to Cancun available now may be the best time to take advantage of this delightful country’s food.

8.    San Pedro de Atacama, Chile

The Atacama Desert in Chile may not sound like the most inviting destination but there are a surprising amount of activities to do in Chile; one specialist hotel even offers an adventure holiday and spa out in the middle of the Desert.  The Tierra Atacama Adventure and Spa is a boutique hotel that can offer tours of the terracotta coloured sands and neighbouring lagoons. 

There are even areas that are so untouched by man, due to being protected areas, that they have earned the name Moon Valley as it resembles the moon’s surface with small but sharp crested hills.

The next part of this article will cover the many other locations in South America that you should visit this year.  cheap flights to Mexico and other South American locations have seen many UK tourists spreading their wings and getting flights to see this wonderful corner of the world for themselves

Paula Ojeda asked:


Following the worldwide boom of sustainable tourism and the environment, plenty of hotels around the world are becoming “green.” Discover the best guide to hotels and their ecological services.

Conscious of the need to conserve the planet, about 48% of travelers seeking shelter today “eco-friendly.” The commitment to the planet was not made to wait and each day there are more people willing to bet on construction demand and “green.”

Today, Europe is leading the initiative to make environmental protection at the best value-added offering for its hotels. Northern America and Asia will follow the steps towards reducing, reusing and recycling. Latin America, for its part, has already begun to generate ecological responsibility within the guild hotel.

A change worth

Studies show that 95% of waste generated by a hotel can be recycled or reused. However, these residues are untapped in its entirety. In order to change this reality, the Fairmont Hotels and Resorts Green Partnership is an action plan to bring the hotel chain to a position of leadership in environmental responsibility.

Some of the actions proposed by this program are directed to waste management, water saving and energy practices. However, the most innovative proposal is a community that not only benefits the environment but to the needy population.

Adopt-A-Shelter involves the donation of items that may no longer be used in the hotel, yet may be vital to families affected by floods, displacement and violence. These items include bedding, furniture, linens, towels, food and general use without any reusable product.

Although conversion to hotels’ green ‘is expensive to include in the structure changes from (purchase of solar panels, for example), to purchase recyclable products, the long-term savings in cost can be between 40 % and 50%.

The best in the world

Today there are many hotels that are combined with the environment without losing an iota of charm. Rather, his concern for preserving it has become the value that tourists seek. In countries such as China, Cuba, United States, Costa Rica and Colombia soar constructions based on the concept of conservation.

Then the three best hotels in the organic world.

Scandic Hotel Hasselbacken.

Stockholm, Sweden

Scandic’s chain is known for its environmental policy. This hotel offers rooms furnished with wood, cotton and wool to replace plastics and synthetics. Products such as shampoo are biodegradable and their menu offers organic options. Like most hotels of its cut, it offers guests the option of not changing their sheets and towels every day and uses energy-saving bulbs.

Sumba Nihiwatu

Indonesia

The seven bungalows offered are built with indigenous materials to enable them to adapt to most environment without causing any environmental impact. Committed to responsible tourism, tend to preserve the environment by using biodiesel derived from coconuts and promote reforestation of the forests in the area.

Chumbo Island

Tanzania

The principle of preservation is based on reuse. In this hotel rainwater is collected, stored and heated by solar energy. The soaps are organic, the lights are photovoltaic and bungalows form allows the breeze to the fan that is not necessary to use air conditioning.

No doubt exists that the overall need to work towards a future of working for a more engaged and aware of the environment. In choosing a hotel make sure that most of the energy consumed is solar, which comply with the rules of bioclimatic building, which is not located in areas crowded by tourists and have plans for recycling and reuse.

Do not forget that from our position of consumers and tourists are on the duty to demand alternatives environmentally friendly. It is our responsibility to provide ideas that will complement the efforts of the major hotel chains for conservation. Caring for the environment depends on everyone.

Kenya animal tour

The Kenya animal tour largely includes the search for the big five animals. These Kenya tours are packaged such that they highlight the animal parks in Kenya that feature the below African animals including the:

African lion safari tour in Kenya

Elephant animal Kenya tour

Rhino animal Kenya tour

Buffalo animal tour

Leopard animal Kenya tour

The above are the main big five most sought wildlife in Kenya and possibly the rest of Africa. The big five Kenya Africa animals are mostly found within Kenya national parks. This means that the Kenyan tour will unavoidably feature several national parks and game reserves in Kenya. Each of these Kenya tour national parks has different characteristics ad strengths as compared to others. While some will be strong in the diversity and density of Kenya wildlife, others will have more scenic attractions like mountains and lakes.

While other Kenya tour parks will have more of the plains game, others will feature massive populations of migratory and resident birds. There are Kenya Africa tour parks with small rivers while others will have huge rivers with many crocodiles, hippos and a snaking riverine system among grey and drab surrounding arid ecosystems. It is therefore highly advisable to sample at least three of the most popular animal parks in Kenya.

Other Kenya tour animals that attract an equally enthusiastic following are the plains game including the tallest giraffe, the warthog, elands, bushbucks, reedbucks, topi, gazelles, hartebeest, wildebeest, and impalas among others.

Kenya national parks tour is a mixture of divergent attractions ranging from some mountain Kenya parks to savannah parks. From arid thorny and scorchy Kenya national parks in the north to the lush green and dense vegetation parks at the coast. A proper Kenya animal tour should be at least 4-8 days long so as to be able to have ample time to sample more than two national parks. It actually makes more economic sense to spend that amount of time given the high cost of air tickets to Kenya in Africa. Some of the most popular Kenya animal parks tours include:

Masai Mara game reserve lion and wildebeest tour

Kenya Animal Tour

Kenya wildlife is found in the most natural parks you will find in Africa. The Kenya wildlife is mostly found within the boundaries of national parks and reserves. These are wilderness araeas that have been set aside for the purposes of wildlife conservation. Each of these kenya national animal parks has its own characteristic and kenya travellers are better off sampling each and every park on its own.

The parks range from the snow –capped mountains to the low savannah grasslands; from the scenic knuckle shaped ranges of the aberdares national park to the rough arid national parks of samburu, shaba and buffalo springs;from the undulating picturesque landscape of the rift valley to the central green and lush central kenya highlands;from the white powdery sandy beaches with turquoise colored water to the inland blue-green crater lakes.

The kenya tour wildlife found in these parks is equally diverse as the vegetation and landscape in these Africa kenya national parks. The Kenya mountain parks host a unique array of wildlife including the rare giant forest hog, the extremely rare, shy and endangered bongo, the magnificent and rare black coated mountain leopard, the african lynx, the smaller mountain elephant,the african lion, duikers among many others.

Kenya north parks are famous for their rather different animals some of which are among the most endangered and rare species including the rothschild giraffe, the beisa oryx and the kenya grevy’s zebra. Other animals in north kenya tour parks include the african lion animal, the cheetah animal, leopard, elephants, buffalo, gerenuk, water bucks, common zebra, coke’s hertebeest, birds among others.

Masai Mara Migration Tour In Kenya Africa

This article would not be complete if mention was not made of most popular Kenya national park. The Masai mara Kenya is by far the best national park/reserve. Forming only a smaller section of the vast Serengeti plains in tanzania, the masai mara is by far the most famous Kenyan national park. The kenya masai mara is located in the southern kenya tourism circuit right in the midst of the kenya masai warrior country.

The vast savannah landscape with unending vistas of grass velds supports the highest numbers of wildlife in kenya. The panoramic and usually breathtaking golden plains are home to Kenya’s most wide variety of plains game, predators, amphibians and reptiles. One of the masai mara wildlife best advantage is the ease at which seeing the wildlife affords. It matters little the gate that you access the masai mara national reserve through. The mara wildlife starts right at the entrance all the way to your lodge.

I must say the number of african lions you see will leave you satiated and full of glee. It is only in the masai mara that a herd of elephants will graze 1 foot away from your tour van window, a pride of lion will lie beside your vehicle for that welcome shade and a female cheetah will mount on your car’s bonnet or roof for the vantage view of prey or even better an african lion’s kill of a zebra happening right next to your vehicle. The perfect kenya animal tour climax and Kenya photographic tour closure.

By far, the most spectacular of all masai mara kenya tour attractions remains the mammoth wildebeest migration through plains and rivers in the masai mara. Driven by the sheer will to get to fresher grass fields and the annual difference of rains cycle in the masai mara and the serengeti plains, the wildebeest cover over 1000km of wilderness in a non-defined circle to reach the fresh grass. The masai mara wildebeest migrate accompanied by an army of zebras and other plains game. The kenya migration tour in masai mara is such a huge phenomenon that satellites in space pick it up as a real time moving mass of black shade on the screen.

The wildebeest migration tour in masai mara involves over 1.5 million gnus accompanied by atleast a quarter of a million zebras. Since food is moving, the predators, including the awesome african lion accompany the blue wildebeest across valleys, velds and rivers as they eat the weak and lost in the africa’s grandest wildlife march. Nothing is as breathtaking as observing the wildbeest rivercrossings in the masai mara. Accumilating in their thousands on the first masai mara river bank, hesitant of taking the first leap, the front line are eventually forced by the pushing rear mass of thousands of wildebeest into the river.

That first leap into the nile crocodile infested river prompts the trepidation-filled 5 feet leaps of the gnu into the river, desparate to overcome the treacherous mara river crossing to the promised land. The sheer numbers of the fearfull, leaping and kicking wildebeest catches the crocodile by surprise forcing them to give way from the stampede and guaranteed death from trampling.

The carnage of the river crossing, even without the help from crocodiles in the masai mara river result mainly from the stampede drowning and breaking the spines of others already in the river. This keeps the crocs happy for the next month or two. I gues they must be impatiently watching their calendars by now for the next annual wildbeest migration in the masai mara. So intense is the moment of a masai mara wildebeest river crossing that the splash into the water sounds like a thousand raging waterfalls. You really don’t want to miss a wildebeest masai mara river crossing !

Arranging for your kenya africa animal tour is easy with an experienced tour operator in kenya. Most of the bookings for the masai mara have to be done a year to six months in advance as the masai mara lodges tend to fill up 3 full months to the Africa Kenya migration season. So have your kenya animal tour bookings dne in advance.
