Cuzco, Peru: Things Learned During an Eight-Day Visit

January 3, 2017 by Lili Price14 Comments

When I arrived in Cuzco, a city of 350,000 people known as the Inca Capital of Peru, I had near-zero knowledge about the place. All I knew is that it is home to a famous tourist attraction which most of my friends have kept on their Bucket Lists - forever! Stepping out of the airport, I wore that moronic look tourists wear when they arrive at a place where the primary language is something they cannot fluently speak. I did a little chicken … [Read more...]

Onward And Upward To Machu Pichu – Part 1

April 14, 2013 by Al Seymour Sights1 Comment

My heart kept beating like a tom-tom drum feverishly signaling an imminent enemy attack.  It kept racing, and thudding, and pounding – not allowing me to get a wink of sleep. I recognized the symptoms.  I knew what was happening.  I had tried to prepare myself for it. It was oxygen deprivation, and it could lead to altitude sickness. Although I wasn’t in any immediate danger of becoming stricken with the illness, I knew that I was … [Read more...]

Onward & Upward To Machu Pichu – Part 2

April 14, 2013 by Al Seymour Sights2 Comments

The morning sun had ascended to its throne in the brilliant sky.  The mist had excused itself for the day.  Before us lay the grandeur of Machu Pichu swathed in golden sunlight. Everyone whipped out their cameras and started taking photos of the venerable gift that history had unwrapped for us.  One by one, we captured the sight that we’d seen only in books.  Angle by angle, frame by frame, we sought to imprint the majestic vista into the … [Read more...]

Mad Scientists at Raymond Winery

May 8, 2012 by Gina DouglasLeave a Comment

My first impression of Raymond Winery when I arrive for my "Winemaker for a Day" blending experience with my fiance, Tom, is that we are at a traditional Napa winery. The "Winemaker for Day" experience involves creating my own wine blend and bottling the wine to take home with my own label - which I am currently designing with a happy employee named Casey at the tasting room counter. The tasting room has beige walls and white counter-tops with a … [Read more...]

The High Life, McLeod Ganj

September 17, 2011 by DaveLeave a Comment

We are now at about 8000 feet up in the Himalayas near Mcleod Ganj just outside of town at a guest house; we will stay here 2 nights and then move further up into the Himalayas. Very very humbling to be back in the shadow of the WORLD'S GREATEST mountains, no apologies given to the Andes in this regards, as the Himalayas are in THEIR OWN CLASS and everyone should see them at least once in their life. These 5 and 6 thousand meter mountains tower … [Read more...]

Mainland Ecuador: A Traveler’s Delight

September 8, 2010 by Andrea WilsonLeave a Comment

The Galapagos Islands are among the most popular tourist hot spots of South America, topping the list with Peru's Machu Picchu and the shared Brazilian/Argentine wonder, Iguazu Falls. As a consequence of the islands' appeal, mainland Ecuador is often relegated to a short stopover enroute to the coastal launching point. Visitors choosing to skip the continent and tour only the islands are missing a country with some of the most diverse tourism … [Read more...]
