Beautiful City! Evita's Passions! Tango! Gelato! Antique Flea Markets! Delicious Beef! Buenos Aires is all of these things, and more! The buildings are reminiscent of Paris. It is filled with patrons in tantalizing steak restaurants, and shops filled with customers slurping their fabulous...
If you have ever, in your childhood, or since, wanted to play cowboys and cowgirls, you have found the perfect place! This is a real working ranch, with fine horses, cattle, ropes and lassos, and you can ride those horses, and do your thing! Or, be a spectator, if you prefer, and watch all the action from the sidelines. You can still join in the bountiful barbecue lunch, and stroll through their beautifully decorated estancia. What a fun day!
If you flip through Elle, Vanity Fair, Robb Report, Vogue, or any other high-end magazine, you are bound to come across an article about Harbour Island. Harbour Island is one of the smallest, non-private islands in the Caribbean. They are famous for pink sand beaches and are the center of...
We recently traveled to Cuba with Tauck Tours on their people to people program. We met with baseball players, a college professor, and a farmer who grew tobacco. We visited a tobacco factory, the cemetery, Hemingway's favorite bar, a children's after-school program, experienced a cooking class, heard a delightful choral ensemble, and we rode in those fabulous convertibles! It was a fascinating experience! Ask us about it!
We gathered in the Calgary airport to begin our journey to the Canadian Rockies National Parks: Banff Springs, Jasper, and Lake Louise. The Rocky Mountain range begins to come into sight a few miles after you leave the Calgary airport. We were driving in the late afternoon, and the mountains were...
One week cruising in the Patagonian Fiords, with daily flights over the mountains by helicopter, is an incredible way to spend your vacation. Especially when it includes fly fishing in lakes and rivers with no one else there but you and the big fish you are catching, kayaking and jet boating down...
Cusco is the capital of the Inca Empire, and the center for the Spanish colonization and spread of Christianity in the Andean world. Hiram Bingham used it as the base for his exploration of Machu Picchu. You can still visit the ancient tombs of the Incas, and see their temples. In 1983, UNESCO, in Paris, France, declared the city a World Heritage Site. The Peruvian government declared it the Tourism Capital of Peru and Cultural Heritage of the Nation.
Iquitos is a city of approximately 500,000 that uses tut-tuts to get around the city. There are numerous markets as well as an animal rescue center. Markets serve the local delicacy “suri” which seemed to be a type of grub. They harvest the suri and roast them on sticks. Belen is a very interesting floating village about 5 minutes by boat with a lot of poverty. It’s an interesting way to spend the day (with a private guide and driver) if you have a long layover.
Spot diverse wildlife, hike into the rainforest, and even fish for piranha. During excursions into narrow tributaries, guests may spot more than 130 kinds of birds, pink and gray river dolphins, sloths and nocturnal animals. Guests also spend time in remote river villages, joining school children in games and songs and meeting with a local shaman.
One of the most amazing places I have ever seen! The colors of the rocks change with the light, and I found it fascinating in the early morning to watch the inter-play of shadows and light on the rock structures built by the Incas for their ceremonials. Hiram Bingham must have been totally dumbfounded when he first discovered it! This needs to be on your bucket list!
