THE EXPERIENCE

Buzios, Brazil is one of the most popular tourist cities in the world, offering diversity and style. Buzios is a city with the charm of a rustic fishing village and the elegance of a French resort. Buzios is also home to musicians, painters, sculptors and craftsmen, the city offers an arts and cultural environment through its many ateliers. There is a thriving international cuisine but local favorites of traditional fresh-caught seafood are winners. Buzios offers more than 20 beaches: small or large, rocky or sandy, open to the sea or in tranquil bays. There are many contrasts, but the warmth and happiness of the local people and the natural beauty are consistent throughout. Buzios is famous for warm waters and beautiful coastlines.

The Experience

Rio de Janeiro, where sparkling waters, beautiful people, historic neighborhoods, and museums combine with the rich sounds of Samba to create one of the most striking cities in the world. The “Cidade Maravilhosa” (Marvelous City), as Brazilians call it, displays a unique blend of bustling metropolis with beautiful mountain ranges, rain forests and wetlands, tremendous wealth and crushing poverty. Old traditions are juxtaposed with the city’s push for modernity.

The Galapagos Islands, unique at every turn

Remote archipelago offers exceptional nature observation.

By Eva Stelzer

The Galapagos Islands are one of the most incredible wildlife-watching destinations in the world. Besides the sheer spectacle of the place, this remote archipelago is a land of cactus forests, stark lava formations, lush green highlands, turquoise bays and quintessential tropical beaches, and unique and abundant wildlife at every turn. As a bonus, the location of this archipelago at the earth’s equator makes it a perfect year-round travel destination.

The weather is relatively constant for 12 months of the year and there is always – as one would expect – 12 hours of daytime and 12 hours of nighttime. One of my favourite parts of travelling to the Galapagos Islands is clear illuminated night skies unobstructed by the hue of man made lights.

Darwin himself marvelled at the amazing animals found on the Galapagos Islands. Large and small, the islands are filled with unique species that delight the eye and capture the imagination. With that in mind, here are our 5 must-see Galapagos animals.

CRUISING IN STYLE

Dancers at sea find each other

We are back from our inaugural ballroom dance cruise on the luxurious Crystal Serenity. Our award-winning professional dance team wowed the guests with their style, technique, and incredible personalities. Dance lessons every day, dancing every night: cha-cha, salsa, samba, quick step, bolero, waltz, tango, rumba…magical! One guest has been on fifteen dance cruises, and said this was the best. We credit our ballroom dance team and their energetic and enigmatic personalities. Ballroom dance cruises provide a great opportunity to keep up your dance skills or learn new ones with experts by your side. Best of all, dancing at sea really improves balance as you learn to work the core muscles with the gentle sway of ocean waves.

Spectacularly sited at an elevation of 12,500 feet, with a breath-taking view of snow-capped mountains, lies Chinchero, one of the most typical towns in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. In that town, bright and early each Sunday morning, the authentic, Chinchero Market spreads out before ancient, Inca ruins. Early each Sunday morning, local Indians meet to sell their handicrafts at the market, as they have done for centuries.

As one of the most traditional markets in all of South America, it has far fewer tourists and far more locals than the nearby town of Pisac. Artisans (or artisania) dressed in traditional, colorful clothing come to buy and sell their handmade crafts and produce.

While planning your trip to Florence, you will doubtlessly come across a plethora of hotel options for your stay. But which ones are worth your time and money? It can be a little overwhelming to sort through all of the websites and travel guides, which is why we’re offering 5 great choices for Florence hotels.

Hotel Brunelleschi – History-lovers take note, this hotel is housed in a reconstructed 6th-century Byzantine tower! Now renovated to include a modern and airy look (without losing the classic history of the building), the building is well located, only one block away from Il Duomo cathedral and six miles from the Florence airport. The hotel has recently renovated for a more modern look.
