Auckland's sparkling waters, varied landscapes and cosmopolitan city life combine to make it one of the most desirable places in the world to live or visit. Within half an hour of standing on a bustling city street you could be exploring one of the harbour's islands, on a boat dolphin watching, walking through native forest or sipping wine at a vineyard in the countryside. Take a harbour cruise to the dormant volcano of Rangitoto, or head to Waiheke Island and explore its fabulous beaches and wineries. Back on dry land discover a shopper's paradise, with world-renowned names alongside top New Zealand designs. And if food and wine is your thing enjoy great cuisine and the finest wines in the city's cafés and restaurants. Plus there's plenty of activities to get the adrenaline pumping for adventure-lovers.

Almost 330m high the Auckland Sky Tower gives visitors unbelievable views over the harbour, city and surrounding countryside. Take a leap of faith from the Sky Jump and plummet 190m before stopping just short of the ground below. Or take a walk around the Sky Walk where your nerves will be tested by the narrow walkway high above Auckland's streets.Or if you just want to enjoy the view without the thrills relax in one of two restaurants in the tower.

Rugby fever is kicking in all over New Zealand. From the provinces to the main cities, there's a flutter of flags, rousing team welcomes, last-minute grooming of venues, and fleets of traditional Maori waka / canoes on the water - even the revered Webb Ellis cup has had a polish - as New Zealand readies to celebrate the world's greatest rugby event.

It takes a certain kind of person to jump from an aircraft at 15,000ft into thin air. It takes courage. Harnessed by space age materials to an experienced qualified Jumpmaster, you step out that aircraft door and for some 60 seconds you plummet toward the ground at 200kph, Terminal Velocity. The Jumpmaster will deploy the reinforced tandem canopy controlling your entire skydive. Expect sensory overload as your mind, body & soul fight against every natural self preservatory urge.

PERÚ - Un alucinante viaje de una semana por Perú en Viajando con Diego Perú, tercer país por extensión de América del Sur, es uno de los países de mayor diversidad biológica en el mundo y de mayores recursos minerales. http://www.lan.com/es_es/sitio_personas/index.html http://www.peru.travel/ República del Perú— es un país situado en la parte occidental e intertropical de América del Sur. Limita al norte con Ecuador y Colombia, al este con Brasil, al sureste con Bolivia, al sur con Chile y al oeste con el océano Pacífico, después de las 200 millas que el país reclama como su dominio marítimo7 . Su territorio se compone de paisajes diversos: los valles, altiplanos y altas cumbres de la cordillera de los Andes se despliegan al oeste hacia la costa desértica y a la Amazonia hacia el este. El Perú es uno de los países de mayor diversidad biológica en el mundo y de mayores recursos minerales. El Antiguo Perú fue la cuna de la civilización andina. Hacia el 3200 a. C. surgió Caral-Supe, aunque no fue hasta la Chavín que se sucedieron las clásicas civilizaciones andinas como la Moche, Nazca o Huari. Hacia el siglo XV, el Imperio incaico, se extendió por gran parte del Occidente sudamericano hasta la Conquista en 1532, tras la cual se estableció un virreinato que formó parte del Imperio español. Los españoles fundaron ciudades e importaron esclavos africanos, con lo cual se configuró la cultura criolla con elementos moriscos, negros e indígenas. Machu Picchu (del quechua sureño machu pikchu, "Montaña Vieja") es el nombre contemporáneo que se da a una llaqta (antiguo poblado andino) incaica construida a mediados del siglo XV en el promontorio rocoso que une las montañas Machu Picchu y Huayna Picchu en la vertiente oriental de la Cordillera Central, al sur del Perú y a 2490 msnm (altitud de su plaza principal). Su nombre original habría sido Picchu o Picho.1 Según documentos de mediados del siglo XVI,2 Machu Picchu habría sido una de las residencias de descanso de Pachacútec (primer inca del Tahuantinsuyo, 1438-1470). Sin embargo, algunas de sus mejores construcciones y el evidente carácter ceremonial de la principal vía de acceso a la llaqta demostrarían que esta fue usada como santuario religioso.3 Ambos usos, el de palacio y el de santuario, no habrían sido incompatibles. Algunos expertos parecen haber descartado, en cambio, un supuesto carácter militar, por lo que los populares calificativos de "fortaleza" o "ciudadela" podrían haber sido superados.4 Machu Picchu es considerada al mismo tiempo una obra maestra de la arquitectura y la ingeniería.5 Sus peculiares características arquitectónicas y paisajísticas, y el velo de misterio que ha tejido a su alrededor buena parte de la literatura publicada sobre el sitio, lo han convertido en uno de los destinos turísticos más populares del planeta.6 Machu Picchu está en la Lista del Patrimonio de la Humanidad de la Unesco desde 1983, como parte de todo un conjunto cultural y ecológico conocido bajo la denominación Santuario histórico de Machu Picchu. El 7 de julio de 2007 Machu Picchu fue declarada como una de las nuevas siete maravillas del mundo moderno en una ceremonia realizada en Lisboa, Portugal, que contó con la participación de cien millones de votantes en el mundo entero. El Cuzco3 (quechua sureño: Qusqu, Qosqo, pronunciado [ˈqo̝s.qɔ]), o Cusco (grafía oficial reciente), es una ciudad del sureste del Perú ubicada en la vertiente oriental de la Cordillera de los Andes, en la cuenca del río Huatanay, afluente del Vilcanota. Es la capital del Departamento del Cuzco y además, está declarado en la constitución peruana como la capital histórica del país. La ciudad de Cuzco según el Instituto Nacional de Estadística e Informática es la séptima ciudad más poblada del Perú y albergaba en el año 2007 una población de 348.935 habitantes. Antiguamente fue la capital del Imperio inca y una de las ciudades más importantes del Virreinato del Perú. Declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad en 1983 por la Unesco, suele ser denominada, debido a la gran cantidad de monumentos que posee, como la "Roma de América". Gastón Acurio (n. Lima; 30 de octubre de 1967) es un chef, escritor, empresario peruano y un importante impulsor de la difusión de la cocina peruana ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu (English) http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu (Espanol) http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu (Français) http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machu_Picchu (Deutch) http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/マチュ・ピチュ (日本語) http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/马丘比丘 (中文)

Follow the best road trip on YouTube. Our plan is to follow the Panamericana, pick up hitchhikers and travel as cheaply as possible. We will surf the pacific coast on every wave between Chile and Alaska, learn about Latino culture and through this amazing adventure and go on a voyage of self discovery as we struggle to keep our VW Bus alive. In this, the first episode, you can see the beginnings of Co'Pito, see how the van was made and what life is like on "the roads less travelled" in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile Follow the adventure @ www.facebook.com/HastaAlaska If the video is blocked in your country you can watch it via this link: http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/nua7anYbSsc

http://www.peru.travel/fr/A-propos-du-perou Un pays aux dix mille ans d'histoire. Il fut le siège du fabuleux empire Inca. Mais bien avant celui-ci, des civilisations millénaires laissèrent en héritage au monde d'imposants témoignages d'un passé glorieux tels que Caral, les tombes royales de Sipán qui sont le site funéraire le plus fastueux d'Amérique, les énigmatiques lignes de Nasca, et la prodigieuse forteresse de Kuélap. Un des pays les plus variés de la planète. Avec 84 des 117 biotopes recensés sur la terre. Où l'on peut passer, en un soupir, d'un désert minéral à des montagnes vertigineuses et à la forêt vierge exubérante. Un territoire au goût raffiné, avec une cuisine qui a déjà atteint le niveau de la haute gastronomie. Un arc en ciel de sons, de saveurs et de couleurs, qui se manifestent dans plus de 50 langues indigènes encore en usage, des milliers de danses et d'anciens instruments de musique qu'on peut découvrir et écouter pendant les fêtes et les processions. Une destination qui concentre une multitude de destinations. Le foyer de millions de personnes qui attendent votre visite les bras ouverts.

In this episode our three a'gringos come to a fork in the road at the base of a large Peruvian mountain. One way says fifteen miles to the next destination--the other says five. Upon asking the locals which way to go, our gringos are encouraged to eat hot peppers and have a traditional meal with the locals... later resulting in gasket-blowing Diarrhea. Not listening to the directions that the locals give them, they take the shorter route, also known as the Peruvian Death Hill # 1. The going is rough, the pavement awful--their life expectancy is grim. Enjoy.

Diversas manifestaciones guardan la tradición artesanal ancashina. Destaca la confección trajes típicos y el bordado de coloridas polleras. Además, se mantiene el arte de la fabricación de velas, muy utilizadas en las diversas procesiones de la zona. Finalmente, entre otras labores artesanales, se encuentran las frazadas de lana de Chavín, la cerámica de Taricá, el fierro forjado, el repujado en cuero y la cestería

Natasha, Anna, Dannii and Donna are four friends from the UK who aren't shy of a good time. They had tickets to some of the biggest music concerts in London but gave them up for some city splendour in New Zealand. Food, wine, night-life & wild-life. Beautiful within themselves, but it's what you can do within just 30 minutes of New Zealand cities that makes them so unique. Have a wine, then visit the vine. People watch, then whale watch. Shop from leading kiwi designers, then see native kiwi birds in the wild. It's all here, and it's all uniquely New Zealand. This is the city -- New Zealand style.
