Salta Puerto Iguaz Gualeguaych Mendoza San Juan Crdoba Buenos Aires Mar del Plata Bariloche Puerto Madryn Ushuaia A good way to do tourism in Argentina. dventure travel and extreme sports, in their various modalities, are tending to increase the amount of fans worldwide. Argentina, in particular, is being the favorite scenery for lovers of adventure who are willing to receive a good dose of pure adrenaline. This selection is not casual, as the geography presents high diversity, in the wide sense of the word, for the practice of these exciting sports. The sceneries are multiple and varied and all of them ideal to let imagination fly and let yourself be carried away to whatever adventure decrees. Imagine yourself among the endless plains of the pampas, the fast-flowing rivers of the mountain range, the high summits of the mountains and volcanoes, and even the deep and blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. All the sceneries are waiting to be discovered by intrepid adventurers. The practice of this kind of adventure or alternative travel allows people to visit unusual or unknown places in a more active way and in permanent contact with nature. In this portal, you will find all the necessary information, both for beginners in this activity and for those who have previous experience. You will find circuits with different levels of difficulty that will enable you to share excursions with your family as well as activities in which experience and risk await you at every step. Here you will have the opportunity to know in depth each of the disciplines that are part of adventure travel, where they are carried out, in what time of the year, what security measures you will have to take into account to perform each of them, and the different levels of difficult. If you are ready... fasten your seatbelt, harness, life-jacket or simply your hiking boots, and dare to make a raid into adventure travel and extreme sports, all of them practised in a fantastic natural environment offered by Argentina. Adventure travel includes activities through which people change from being spectators to becoming protagonists of the landscape. Hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, horse-riding, rafting, rapelling, canopy, etc., are the activities that require physical effort, which may be moderate or high, depending on the itinerary choice or the physical condition of the person involved. The good thing is that in Argentina, and especially in Patagonia, we have a menu for everybody. From hiking on the high country, over 4,000 m.a.s.l., during several days, through rides across ancient forests, kayaking in white waters rivers or in quiet lakes, to rock or ice climbing at the huge glaciers in the South. What must be clear is that, as we make contact with nature, we have to comply with certain rules that nature itself sets for us to respect. We must be respectful and conscious of the preservation of the environment and that our pace must not leave permanent traces in the various habitats. Especially, we should not leave any waste behind and this way we will be able to continue enjoying for good the beauty our world offers us. “The drops of my sweat falling on the ground are a tribute to Nature."

Central America Travel

Central America : Travel Tips : International Travel : Travelocity area: network~tipsadvice catID: product_category: -- Guides & Advice : Traveler Advice : Tips & Advice Home : International Travel Central America Jungles, volcanoes, dazzling wildlife, and more await you in Central America--but so do several health risks. Staying healthy can make or break any trip, so read on to get some preparatory information about the regions health challenges. Enjoying your trip to its fullest always involves some amount of preparation and knowledge, so to make your planning easier weve put together some basic information outlining the general risks you might face in Central America. Consult the World Health Organization (WHO) or the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for the most up-to-date information on current health risks, and ask your physician about the best courses of vaccinations and malaria prophylaxis for the area youre visiting. Food and Water: Stick with bottled or purified water, and only eat cooked vegetables and peeled fruit, as well as well-cooked meat and seafood--these simple rules can easily be the key to staying healthy during your vacation in Central America. Except in the most established and hygienic of restaurants, ceviche, a regional specialty of raw seafood salad, should be avoided, especially if it has any shellfish in it. Milk is not pasteurized in Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras, so avoid all dairy products. If youre really craving some milk, mix powdered or tinned milk with purified water as a safe alternative. The Elements: When youre in the tropics, youre in prime sunshine territory. Clearly this is a plus for all us sun-worshipping folk, but its important to protect yourself from damaging UV rays. Apply lots of sunscreen throughout the day, try to limit your exposure to the sun when you can, and wear protective clothing. Also, be sure to drink lots of water to stave off dehydration. Drink up even when youre not thirsty, and especially if youre engaging in outdoors activities. Combined with the intensity of the sun, even mild dehydration can really put an unpleasant tinge on your experience. Altitude Sickness: If youre planning on doing some trekking in the mountains or on volcanoes, be prepared for some possible bouts of altitude sickness--something that cannot be prevented, but can definitely be alleviated quite easily. For more information, read our How to Avoid Altitude Sickness tip. Health Risks: Costa Rica and Panama generally present few risks (other than those pertaining to food and water) if you stick to the big cities, beaches, and main tourist spots. However, these countries rural areas--as well as other surrounding countries--contain maladies that you should know about. Malaria is a year-round risk in Belize, Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, and Panama--with the exception of urban areas. If you plan on venturing outside of the cities, consult your doctor several months before your departure to determine the best course of malaria medication for you. Dengue fever has been reported in the above countries, so arm yourself against mosquitoes with strong insect repellent. Mosquitoes are easily attracted to moisture--mosquito nets are advised if youre staying in coastal areas. For more information on dealing with insects, read our Creepy, Crawly Critters tip. Rabies is widespread throughout Central America, so abstain from provoking stray dogs or other animals in the wild. If you get bitten, seek medical help immediately. Fluke illnesses (from bacteria transmitted in food), Chagas disease, leptospirosis, and lesihmaniasis have been reported in rural foci throughout the region. Schistosomiasis (bilharzia) occurs in some freshwater sources, so avoid swimming and paddling in freshwater whenever possible (for more information on this matter, read our Take Me to the River tip). Immunization Suggestions and Requirements: The following information was culled from reputable sources, such as CDC and WHO and reflects countries currently featured on Travelocity.com. Belize Hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera, polio Yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from all travelers coming from infected areas Costa Rica Typhoid, polio, cholera (although chances of contracting the latter are very slight) Guatemala Cholera, hepatitis A, polio, typhoid Yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from all travelers over one year old coming from infected areas Honduras Hepatitis A, typhoid, cholera, polio Yellow fever vaccination certificate is required from all travelers coming from infected areas Panama Hepatitis A, cholera, typhoid Yellow fever vaccination is strongly recommended for travel outside of urban areas, even if an outbreak of the disease has not been reported     International Travel Tips & Advice Information on the Euro Africa Asia Central America Caribbean Australia/South Pacific South America Middle East Europe North America Embassies and Consulates--A Little Piece of the United States Abroad Choosing the Right Gift for Business Associates in Japan Getting Through Customs Expediting Your Passport Application Process Handling Cash When Traveling Overseas Security Guarantee | '+' Means Some Taxes & Fees Additional © 1996-2004 Travelocity.com LP.

One of the best-preserved examples of Carolingian ... more Germany wears its riches well: elegant big-city charm, small picture-postcard towns, pagan-inspired harvest festivals, a wealth of art and culture and the perennial pleasures of huge tracts of forest, delightful castles and fine wine and beer are all there for the savouring. Deep in the heart of Europe, Germany has had a seminal impact on Continental history. From Charlemagne and the Holy Roman Empire to Otto von Bismarck's German Reich, Nazism and the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall, no other nation has moulded Europe the way Germany has - for better or worse. When To Go Germany is a fine destination year-round, but most people visit between May and September when sunny skies are most likely and much of life moves outdoors. Beer gardens and cafes bustle at all hours; outdoor events and festivals enliven cities and villages; and hiking, cycling and swimming are popular pursuits - at least as long as the weather plays along. Remember that rain is a possibility in any month. The flipside of summer travel is, of course, larger crowds at museums and other attractions. Accommodation needn't be hard to come by unless you're drawn to beach and mountain resorts popular with German holiday-makers. The shoulder seasons (from March to May and from October to early November) bring fewer tourists and often surprisingly pleasant weather. In April and May, when flowers and fruit trees are in bloom, it can be mild and sunny. Indian summers that stretch well into autumn are not uncommon. With the exception of winter sports, activities between November and early March are likely to focus more on culture and city life. In these months, skies tend to be gloomy and the mercury often drops below freezing. On the plus side, there are fewer visitors and shorter queues (except in the winter resorts). Just pack the right clothes and keep in mind that there are only six to eight hours of daylight. In December the sun (if there is any) sets around 15:30 . Factoid Smellpol When the files of the former East German secret service, the Stasi, were opened up, they were found to contain, among other things, cotton wool swabs of dissidents' body odour, kept in bottles for use by sniffer dogs.
