peruPuru has so much to offer visitors, a rich culture, stunning mountains and fascinating architecture. Peru Holidays are ideal for adventure lovers as the mountains and trails that lead to the ancient ruins are both challenging and breath taking.

Wander ruins of ancient civilizations, trek the Andes to gain access to Machu Picchu and bear witness to the mystical Nazca Lines from above.

It is hard for visitors not to be transported back to ancient times while trekking through the Amazonian rain forests with condors soaring above, climbing the Andean mountains or traversing the Peruvian Desert.

The country of Peru boasts some very distinctive regions, with each one offering something different. This means there is a holiday for everyone, whether it is family holidays, adventure holidays or Solo Holidays.

When planning the time of the year to visit Peru, you should be aware there are two main seasons. Wet and Dry, although this varies in different regions. The main period travellers visit the country is between June and August which is the best season if you are planning to go hiking and mountain climbing as it is the dry season in the Andean Highlands.

If you plan to trek anywhere, then December to March should be avoided as this is the wet season and that can make things hard.

You will find travellers in various regions of Peru all year round, as there is always somewhere to visit.

Although most visitors will not need a visa to visit Peru, it should be noted that you will be issued a Tarjeta Andina de Migracion, which is a tourist card/immigration card that you should carry with you at all times, along with your passport. This is especially true when visiting remote areas and even required by law on the Inca trail.

If you are an experienced adventurer or are looking for a change from the standard package holidays, why not read up on the tours and holidays that are held in Peru and treat yourself to one of the most exiting and adventurous holidays you are likely to ever have.

The Canary Islands, located off the coast of Africa, are Europe´s most popular winter sun destination.  Attracting around 9 million tourists every year.  The bulk of them from the UK.  Yet despite the fact that millions of tourists flock to the island every year some of them, such as Lanzarote, remain relatively unspoiled.  Especially in relation to the larger island of Tenerife and Gran Canaria.  Retaining much of their original character and identity intact.

Lanzarote is the most easterly of the islands and outside of the three main resorts of Puerto de Carmen, Costa Teguise and Playa Blanca its rural roots really shine through.  As the landscape is unencumbered by high rise developments – as these were all banned back in the 1970´s.  Whilst there’s not an advertising billboard in sight – as these were similarly outlawed.

Until modern package tourism first reached the island in the 1970´s Lanzarote was mainly dependent on farming and fishing.  And agricultural production is still very much in evidence in many fields around the island, particularly in the north where the climate is a little cooler and damper.

Much of the south of the island is beyond cultivation – as it is carpeted in fields of solidified lava.  The eerie legacy of a series of volcanic eruptions dating back to the 1730´s.  Today this whole area is a National Park – one of the most popular in Spain.  And around 900,000 tourists visit this region every year to view the spent volcanic peaks and surreal scenery.

Lanzarote also boasts over ninety beaches – most of the made up of golden sand rather than the the black grains common on many other Canary Islands.
The two most impressive beaches are at Famara in the north – a huge 8km bay which is highly popular with surfers.  And Papagayo in the south – a stunning collection of picturesque coves and bays.

There’s plenty of good quality accommodation options available on the island.
Playa Blanca in the south is home to a large selection of four and five star hotels, all constructed in the last decade or so.  Whilst Puerto de Carmen the islands oldest resort, is home to the best selection of Lanzarote holiday villas on the island.  With properties in the Los Mojones area in particular proving very popular with holidaymakers.

Lanzarote is just four hours flying time from the UK, with flights available from all major UK airports and with prices starting at around £150 return.

villa7If your choice of vacation or holiday destination is in Italy, Spain, France or Portugal, you can find the perfect accommodations at Palmer and Parker villa holidays. While all of those locations have elegant motels, they fail in comparison with the spectacular villas that are available.

air-travelThere are a number of things one can do on a plane to while away the hours. Air travel is unfortunately necessary, even the best adventure trips require it. When planning your trip take along a selection of things to do. Like books, crossword puzzles, craft projects.

It is quite helpful to assemble all these things in a large zip lock bag. When you get into the plane you can haul the whole bag out of your hand luggage so that you don’t have to go back into the cubby hole again. Once it is stored in the seat pocket you can get to it easily. Or pack it back into your hand luggage just as it is when it is time to land.

There are numerous movies and series to watch, if you are lucky enough to get a monitor and sound system that works. It is a huge plus to fly with one of the airlines that allows you to choose your own movie, and change it if you get bored.

Taking along your lap top is great. It gives you hours to catch up on all the stuff you have been meaning to do, like sort photos.

You can plot revenge on the guy behind you that keeps jamming his knees into your back.

There are people that use the opportunity of free booze and attentive staff to get themselves well and truly drunk. This is not an advisable exercise. It guarantees a miserable couple of hours in the next airport and a lulu of a hangover for your next flight. It also alienates all the people around you.

But it would appear that the all time favorite thing is sleep. Have you ever noticed how many peoples eyes close the moment the plane takes off?

belgradeBelgrade is the capital of Serbia. It sites on both the Danube and Sava rivers. Belgrade is one of the oldest cities in Europe.

Belgrade is known for its nightlife.  Its normal for an evening out in Belgrade to not even begin until 11pm. Usually people will meet up in one of the many cafes which you will find on every street. After this people will move on to a club or a floating river cafe, known as a “splav”.

The clubs are in general situated in the old town, and continue on till way past breakfast.

Whilst in Belgrade you should check out Partizan Stadium. This is the home of FK Partizan football team.  If you are lucky enough to be in Belgrade when there is a game on, you should check it out. You can see the current fixture lists here. Metallica played this stadium in 2004 during their “Madly in Anger with the World” tour.  If you will be in Belgrade in May you could consider getting AC/DC tickets for the Partizan Stadium – its sure to be a show to remember.
