Honeymoons : Best Mediterranean
Honeymoons : Best Mediterranean
Perhaps because it does not have much time , perhaps because he or she give you chills long trips or simply because he is a lover of the Mediterranean.
If anything defines Honeymoons today it is that there are no rules, beyond finding a round destination for both. And the Mare Nostrum is master of hundreds of them that have nothing to envy to more distant places. From such romanticplaces as in Italy, the Amalfi Coast and the delights of Portofino or Cinque Terre, the islands of Sicily and Sardinia or the wonderful Aeolian archipelago to Santorini, Mykonos or some lesser known of the thousand and one Greek islands.
From a yacht just for two to explore the virgin Croatian coast or one of the sublime villages of Provence and the French Riviera until, of course, fabulous corner of the Spanish coast such as Cabo de Gata, some corner unthreshed of Costa Brava and the Balearic Islands, not forgetting the bottom of the Mediterranean neighbors as absolutely despampanate Turkish coast, unspoiled beaches strewn in the area of Antalya and deposits Hellenes as epic as Troy, Pergamon or Ephesus in its marine flank of Asia Minor.
The train traveling between volcanoes
The train traveling between volcanoes
Since the sticky Pacific coast to the snowy peaks of the Andes from Guayaquil to Quito by Ecuadorian rugged geography, with ascents and descents of 3600 meters to sea level. A path blessed by natural beauty : volcanoes, rivers , lakes, mountains and the legendary Devil's Nose , aboard a nineteenth-century train travel taste of yesteryear.
"It is the demon spewing smoke." They say that in this manner received the arrival of the railroad in the early last century, these remote indigenous populations lost in the folds of the Andes. He was born the train called half the world and burst with his birdie on rails, with his old horn steam, to the amazement and fear of some isolated communities for which this machine could only be the embodiment of progress coming from afar, señoreándose between rivers, lakes and mountains. It was not easy in this land of bad roads, as nicknamed by Ecuador in the colony. Telluric land of a country born of fire and basting of majestic volcanoes. Land with one of the most complex orographies the planet. So the company had been the dream of General Eloy Alfaro, Ecuador considered the best ever. In his exploits, which include the abolition of slavery, the vote for women or the establishment of secular education, the desire to connect the coast with the highlands, the tropical Pacific to the icy Andes also had, lighting and passing the hope of modernity in the nation.
The Ecuadorian railroad , completed back in 1908 , not only finished this dream but also fostered something nature would never allow : the liberation from the yoke of some peaks which hinder the integration of regions , the union of two poles defying heights dizziness. Today , many years later, the train returns to address this journey from Guayaquil to Quito ( and vice versa) , after decades of neglect in which he had to settle for certain short routes ... and crowded with travelers on the roof of the cars load . An experience that bears no resemblance to the one proposed now has been renamed Cruise Train : Railroad with an elegant taste of yesteryear which includes not only accommodation in estates scattered along the route but also excursions and guided tours.

Cuzco celebrates the great feast of the sun in June
Cuzco celebrates the great feast of the sun in June
The Inti Raymi is declared Cultural Heritage of Peru and is celebrated around the Jubilee Celebrations of the City of Cuzco every June 24, coinciding with the winter solstice. Its origins more than six centuries back when the Inca emperor Pachacutec established parties to the god Inti existente- creator of everything, in which the people of the Tawantinsuyo paid tribute to the sun god. The Inca emperor, son of the Sun, predicted before the crowd the fate of his government and sent prayers to her father for his own benefit. This party would be the equivalent of our "New Year" as it is held at the end of the harvest, the end of the agricultural year and the beginning of a new cycle. Today, the Inti Raymi is a throwback to the custom of the ancient Inca Empire whose celebrations begin on the Inca palace, Qoricancha and ends in the Archaeological Park of Sacsayhuaman.
Thus, representative dances of the four regions (own) -Qollasuyu Incas, Kuntisuyu, Antisuyu and Chinchaysuyu-, clothing or music totems of ayarachis are some of the activities that make up this party. The main event is the staging of Inti Raymi in the Sacred Plaza, or explanada- of Sacsayhuaman. Thus the ceremony Chicha, the Sacred Fire Ceremony, the Sacrifice of the flame, or sacred ceremony sanko bread, the message of the Inca and Qochorikuy or popular exaltation will be the protagonists of the city of Cuzco June 24.

The Trochita was born in 1945 as a link between Ingeniero Jacobacci (Black River), where trains arrive from Buenos Aires to Esquel (Chubut). Although at first it was a load line, from 1950 he began to accept transfer passengers who were in Ingeniero Jacobacci to San Antonio Oeste, Viedma, Carmen de Patagones, Bahia Blanca, and finally to Buenos Aires.
The trip between Esquel and Ingeniero Jacobacci lasted 14 hours and its uniqueness lies in the trail (track width) of only 75 cm. It was begun in 1935 with surplus World War I, so the cost was low. Thus, in 1941 La Trochita came to El Maitén and Esquel four years later.
