EXPLORE PERU
PERU is a country on the Pacific coast of South America with three main areas: narrow,dry, flat land running along the coast, the Andes Mountains, and the Amazon rainforest.
In the 1400s and 1500s, Peru was the centre of the powerful ancient Inca Empire. The Inca emperor lived in the now-famous site Machu Picchu. Spain took control of Peru in the16th century and ruled until 1821. It is for this reason that Spanish is the main official language of Peru.
TRAVEL PERU
Amazon Rainforest Tour
A short flight from Cusco takes you from the Andes into the Amazon rainforest. From there, you' ll spend one day travelling by boat to your accommodation in the middle of the forest. You can then spend three days exploring the rainforest with a local guide and enjoying the plants and animals unique to the rainforest.
Cusco Tour
Spend four days enjoying the unique Spanish and local Indian culture high in the Andes at Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th until the 16th century. Stay in a local hotel, visit the museums, admire the architecture, enjoy the excellent local food, and go shopping at the local markets.
Machu Picchu Tour
This four-day walking tour will take you on amazing paths through the Andes Mountains on the way to the city of Machu Picchu. After reaching your destination, you will have a day to explore and be amazed by this ancient city. Especially amazing is the Incas’ dry stone method of building. Inca builders cut stones to exact sizes so that nothing was needed to hold walls together other than the perfect fit of the stones.
Lake Titicaca Tour
Enjoy the beautiful countryside as you spend a day driving along the new high way connecting Cusco to Lake Titicaca. There, a boat will take you to stay with a local Uros family on an island for three days. Both the island and the Uros homes are made of water plants from the lake.
So come and experience what Peru has to offer: everything from the ancient Inca culture and centuries-old Spanish villages to deep rainforests, high mountains, and a beautiful coastline.

BLOGGING AUSTRALIA
1 My name is Lauren Elizabeth Pirie Bath. Until a few years ago I was a chef, and a happy one at that, but I wanted more out of life. I wanted to TRAVEL. At that time I discovered blogging and found that I took pretty good pictures. So I decided to post pictures on my blog. In less than 18 months, there were over 200,000 people reading my blog! At first, Ionly regarded it as a hobby, but companies started paying me to take photos and published them. In 2013, I was determined to make my dream come true: I would become Australia's first professional photo blogger. It was a challenging job, but I did it. Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online. I' ve got to know more about this country and its people.
2____________________________________________________________________________________I first visited Western Australia for work in 2013. I fell in love with northern WA and have been back six times. Some of my favourite photographs were taken there. I have made over140 work trips, but my best work trip ever was to Broome in the Kimberley region.
3____________________________________________________________________________________It is extremely beautiful and you can experience the indigenous Australia there more than anywhere else. The Kimberley region, in particular, is unique and untouched. As a photographer, I love the bright light and amazing colours: red rocks, green plants, blue-green waters and blue skies.
4____________________________________________________________________________________To work full time in travel, you have to love nature. I try to take every opportunity to get outside and admire the natural world. I love to photograph the rising sun, so I force myself into the natural world by waking early each day. I also enjoy photographing animals, such as dolphins and kangaroos.
5.____________________________________________________________________________________I hope so. I use my photography to make an impact on people, especially when it comes to environmental issues. Today I' ve been photographing a crocodile swimming close to our boat, the Kimberley Quest, all day. When I post the picture online, I will make a comment about how bad it is to feed crocodiles. This crocodile is used to passengers throwing food from boats and now she is becoming familiar with humans. Over time, this could make her a danger to people living in the area. If I can do something to make others aware of the problem, then that's part of the solution.

COAST TO COAST
From: Eva
To: Amy
Subject: Coast to coast
Hi Amy,
1 We made it! My family and I have managed to cross the North American continent, from western to eastern Canada, in two weeks! I can't wait to share the stories with you.
2 We started from Vancouver, where we picked up our vehicle for the trip—a home on wheels. It took us where we wanted, when we wanted. Dad did the driving but he has a poor sense of direction. We got lost a few times even with the help of GPS, but eventually we managed to cross the Rocky Mountains. I was hoping to see a bear or even an eagle, but all I saw was a small group of deer. The views were fantastic, though. There were forests,mountains with snowy tops and masses of ice. It's like another world.
3 We reached Quebec on the eighth day, where most people speak French. Well, actually,they speak Quebecois, which is a type of Canadian French. The funniest thing happened on that day. I'd fallen asleep, when I heard Dad's phone ringing. He was driving, so Ianswered it. Guess who it was? Mum! It was then that I realised her seat was empty! How did that happen? Well, while I was sleeping, Dad stopped for some petrol and Mum also got out to take photos, and you can guess the rest... She was so mad! To cheer her up,we went to a typical Quebec restaurant for lunch. We had the famous“poutine”, which is a dish of French fries, fresh cheese and a hot brown sauce called “gravy”. It's usually followed by pancakes with maple syrup— delicious!
4 So, we' re now in Newfoundland, the very eastern part of Canada and the end of our journey. To celebrate, we went on a boat trip yesterday. Mum was using Dad's phone to take photos of the colourful little houses along the coast when we saw something amazing—a killer whale! Mum was so excited that she dropped the phone into the sea. This time it was Dad's turn to get mad! Anyway, another family from Quebec was also on the boat and they got some great photos of the whale. They' re going to send them to us when they get back home. What's more, their son's the same age as me. He's so cool! We' re going to keep in touch, so I now have someone to practise French with!
With love,
Eva

ADVENTURE IN THE HIMALAYAS
1 Just imagine. You are walking along a mountain path in the Himalayas. You are feeling tired. You are thinking about how far there is to go. Then, suddenly you are there! And the amazing Mount Qomolangma is on the horizon. It looks great. A few minutes later you arrive at the camp. The food cooking on the fire smells great and while you are having a hot cup of tea, you relax and watch the sun go down. At dinner, the food tastes fantastic. You talk with other people in the group about everything you have seen and done during your day's hiking. If you are looking for experiences like this, Adventure 2000 is the organisation for you.
2 A lot of hiking holidays sound exciting, but the reality is often very different. Hiking trips can be uncomfortable and even dangerous. However, at Adventure 2000 we feel that we understand the needs of hikers. All our guides have several years of experience in leading hiking trips in the Himalayas. They know all the best routes and best places to camp. We also realize that hiking can be hard work and believe that hikers need all our help. As well as the group guide, all teams have cooks and porters. While on a hiking trip, our cooks prepare delicious meals. And our porters carry your luggage, which means that you can simply enjoy the experience.
3 At Adventure 2000 we also think that good travel arrangements are important. We organise all the flights for you: from London to Beijing, from Beijing to Lahsa and bus travel inTibet.
4 Accommodation is in comfortable hotels in Beijing and Lahsa, hostels on the hiking trip,and one-or two-person tents for camping.
5 There are also special offers for people who don't want to go straight home afterwards. If you like history, there is a trip to Western China. For people who prefer to spend some time on the coast, we can organise your travel and accommodation too
6 This is a Class A hike— you have to be fit. There are walks of 6-8 hours most days, with a maximum altitude of 5,545 metres. Class B and C hikes are easier, so you don't need to be so fit.
7 The hike costs 2,500 including all flights and accommodation. Maximum group size is 15people. Hikes are between October and May.

Future trends ECO-TOURISM
___________________________________________________________________________________
Readers often ask us if travel will become more environmentally friendly in the future. We put your questions to our travel correspondent, Simon Lace, and look at some of the latest ideas.
__________________________________________________________________________________
1 □Will we be able to have luxury holidays in exotic places without damaging the environment?(Steve Southall, Manchester)
SIMON: Building hotels and villas permanently affects the environment, that's why many holiday companies are looking for alternatives. One possible answer is luxury“holiday pods”. You can assemble them anywhere in the world, from the South Pacific to the Sahara Desert, and they can remain in place for up to fifteen years. Then they can be packed up and moved to another location. The damage to the environment is almost zero: all the waste produced in the pods is collected and recycled. But some people don't believe there's anything particularly new in this. As travel writer Carl Jenkins has said, “Lots of people already have similar pods, they' re called caravans.”
2 □Will I be able to travel by air without producing carbon dioxide?(Kathy Price, USA)
SIMON: Why not try a holiday on a helium-filled airship hotel? As we all know, air travel creates more carbon dioxide than any other form of travel but this revolutionary airship might change that. It will be able to travel for 3,100 miles without stopping, and combines the experience of travelling by cruise ship, hot air balloon and aeroplane. Yet it requires no fuel or runways. The engines use hydrogen and the airship travels at a lower speed and altitude than a normal plane, giving passengers the opportunity to sightsee from above. As the designers say, “Passengers can see fantastic places without landing and buying a ticket.”
3 □What are the options for young people who care about the environment but also want adventure?(Neeta Madahar, London)
SIMON: A big trend for young people is“ecoteering”: a combination of voluntary work and environmentally-friendly holiday. Choices include replanting tropical forests in India,working as a jungle tourist guide in remote parts of Cambodia, or working with endangered wild animals. According to student Laurence Ford, who spent two months working at a wolf sanctuary in New Mexico, USA, “The whole experience was awesome. I formed a real bond with the wolves and I loved waking up to the sound of their howling!”
Whatever you decide to do, I think the days of choosing a holiday without thinking about the environment will soon be over. Eco-tourism is growing three times faster than any other kind of tourism!
