Like any American, traveling occasionally is just what I love doing and I bet you share the same stuff with me. But traveling does not mean that you would be safe. Escaping from our job and other stressful activities is just something that w Torres del Paine is among the biggest of Chiles national parks, occupying almost 600,000 acres (242,000 ha) of land in the south on the border with Argentina. It is also among the most important, receiving a significant proportion of domes
The rich Amazon basin is alive with nativeplant and animal life. Be prepared to be adventurous and experience the AmazonJungle. The Tambopata Candamo Nature Reserve is onthe banks of the Tambopata River, slit between the Peruvian regions of Puno andMadre Dios. The reserve is home to an immense number of plant and animalspecies that live in a tightly knit and protected eco-system. Visitors are startled by the richness ofthe jungle area; the colors, the sounds and the diversity. It is a sharpcontrast to the city area of Peru and the world where many visitors come from. This uniqueness is what has drawn people tothe Amazon region and encouraged its protection. There are however a range ofeconomic activities that exist in the area, primarily tourism. The growth in tourism is a good way toprovide a sustainable income for local people, without the commercialexploitation of the natural resources. Illegal logging and then in turn, usingcleared land for cattle farming has a detrimental effect on the widereco-system. Tourism on the other hand encourages theprotection of the area, and has a much lesser environmental impact. Many of thetourist lodges are isolated, ecologically managed and run, using solar powerand sustainable low impact techniques. Also tourists want to visit areas ofoutstanding natural beauty, which provides the primary incentive for protectionand conservation. The locations of the lodges are also adisincentive to illegal activity as the lodges are aware of local activity,acting almost as look outs. The Madre Dios region is home to about 25registered lodges, 11 of these are in the reserves surrounding buffer zone,with 2 actually located inside the reserve. Tourists to the reserve are required to paya flat fee for entrance. This money goes towards conservation of the reserve aswell as people that work to protect it, providing an alternative income sourcefor the local population. The lodges in the reserve provide a numberof activities that encourage visitors to explore the great jungle. The lodgesare surrounded by a great many of trails to different jungle sites. Most lodgesare near to the river, so offer boat trips to various places such as the TresChimbadas Lake, to macaw clay licks and other wildlife hot spots. You can also arrange a number of adventureactivities such as rafting, kayaking and zip wiring. You may even like to tryswimming in the river, contrary to belief piranhas are unlikely to bite and theonly people at risk would be women during the menstrual cycle (the fish areattracted to blood). The best time to visit is between June andOctober, which is the dry season. The rainy season means the rainforest is wet,and many of the bugs and insects are more active at this time. The only badthing about dry season is that river travel takes much longer as the flow ofwater is much slower. To make the most of your trip, make sureyou visit with a guide who can explain the local region and ensure you have asafe and enjoyable visit.
