Macchu Picchu Travel

admin — Fri, 06 Aug 2010 01:43:47 +0000

Macchu Picchu is one of the must see travel places for many people when they visit Peru.

Take a look at this short video animation Nilla made for members of our group.

Once I viewed it I said let’s share it as it shows some nice shots of Macchu Picchu. There is also shots of Mt Veronica from a location few tourists will have visited.

Plus a number of nice people pictures as they happened which capture the feeling and sense of togetherness our group enjoyed.

Nilla will be posting her day by day dairy starting next week so if you want to learn some insights into travel in Peru, Macchu Picchu, Lake Titikaka and local village life then you will want to stay tuned.

Enjoy all things good.

trafalgarblog — Fri, 21 May 2010 11:33:45 +0000

If you’re travelling in Venice on 23 May 2010, do try to catch the spectacular Vogalonga. This is a larger than life, non-competitive boat race where rowers completely take over the lagoon and canals much to the delight of locals and tourists alike. On the day of the Vogalonga, all motorboats are banned from Venice’s canals [...]

Are 40,000 tourists destroying the South Pole? Eco-tourism travel may be threaten for future travellers.

Well...what do you think of the South Pole?

Approximately 40,000 South Pole tourists in 2009 were either ignoring or ignorant of claimed scientific evidence that supports they contributed through the cruise ships they traveled on to increasing CO 2 emissions in this pristine environment.

Firstly I think we need to ask…“can scientists be believed when it comes to travel destination advice?”

Now I want to say I do not know if the studies done by Michiel Lamers, a Dutch Scientist reflect a true picture or not. I am a travel agent not a scientist.

What does interest me though is whether people will knowingly travel to destinations even when they understand that their very presence may in fact be contributing to it’s destruction.

Over the years many people have come into our business wanting to visit somewhere before it is too late or not permitted. I have been guilty on a personal level of supporting such travel by offering travel advice. Now I wonder…was this the right thing to do?

What would you do in my position if someone asked you to arrange travel to the South Pole?

Maybe you can share whether you would personally take such a journey to a threatened destination…

Remember Your Travel Planners is here to help you make even better informed travel decisions…the key is sharing to gain.

Until next time…

enjoy all things good.
