Andean Adventures In Peru
800 words
Everyone knows that Paddington Bear arrived in England from Deepest Darkest Peru. That description of his homeland arises from the dense, brooding rainforests covering large areas of the country but of course that’s only part of what makes holidays to Peru so special.
There are the mighty Andes mountains rising up out of the dark green blanket of jungle and the rivers, notably the incomparable Amazon that for centuries were the only way into the heartland of the country. As if the breathtaking scenery alone were not enough to make Peru Holidays the most unforgettable you could ever experience there’s more. There’s the romance and history of the country. The Incas and the Spanish Conquistadores have left us the most intriguing relics to remind us of their dramatic stories.
If hiking is your thing you can go Trekking Peru and follow ancient tracks to the Sacred Valley of the Incas and visit Machu Picchu, the lost city of the Incas which sits on a high saddle between two much higher peaks in the mountains North West of Cuzco. Here you begin to get some idea of the mighty empire of the Incas and the advanced civilisation they created so long ago.
The ruins you gaze at today in awe and wonder lay hidden from the eyes of outsiders for centuries before being re-discovered as recently as 1911 by an archaeologist from Yale University in the United States, one Hiram Bingham. It’s due to his efforts, and it must have been tremendous undertaking especially back then, that you’re able to see this wonder of the ancient world today and from it learn so much about the Incas and their way of life. So remember old Hiram and his companions.
Not far from the Urubamba valley, known as the Sacred Valley, lies the Regional Capital, Cusco, often spelled “Cuzco”. This city was the capital of the Inca Empire from about the 1200s to 1535 when it was sacked by the conquistadores led by Francisco Pizarro.
Although several of the buildings erected by the conquistadores were practically destroyed in a severe earthquake in 1950 most of the old Inca structures survived and their remains can be seen to this day. Your Andean adventure should certainly include a visit to this city where modern life goes on amid so much history.
High in the Andes you must find your way to the highest commercially navigable lake in the world, lake Titicaca, 12507 feet (3812m if you must)
above sea level. It’s also the largest lake in South America in terms of volume of water. As you gaze across the lake from Peru the next land on the far side is Bolivia. You can take excursions by boat on the lake and explore its islands.
Of course all of these well known sites such as Manchu Picchu and Cuzco, so rich in Inca heritage and Lake Titicaca too are unmissable visits for all Peru holidays but they are still only part of what this incredible country has to offer.
One feature you can’t miss of course because of its sheer size is the mighty Amazon. Whether it’s the longest river in the world or the second longest seems to be the subject of some debate. What is certain is that it’s the largest in terms of volume of water flow. In fact one fifth of all the water that flows along all the world’s rivers flows down the Amazon.
The mouth of the Amazon is in Brazil on the Atlantic coast of South America while its source is in Peru so anywhere in Peru is a long way upstream. Nevertheless the river in Peru is already large enough for quite large vessels to use it and it has long been the easiest means of access to large areas of the country. Today trekking Peru usually involves travelling by boat at least some of the time.
You can spend a whole holiday in Peru on and near to the Amazon or one of its many tributaries. Kayaking is very popular for those who want to get really close to nature but if comfort is more your thing there are various cruises on the rivers with knowledgeable local guides.
In Peru as elsewhere in South America the rainforests are under threat from various factors and you won’t want to add to the problems. Tourism has to be sustainable in these sensitive areas so when you look for a holiday company which organises Peru holidays it’s important to choose one that can demonstrate its commitment to sustainability in all its activities.
Peru is a long way away from the UK so make your journey worthwhile by allowing yourself as much time there as possible. It’ll be an experience you will never forget.

Bicycle Car Rack
The Only Thing You’ll Need This Summer.
800 Words
The only thing you’ll need? Well perhaps not exactly the only thing. You will need a car to fit it to. Car bike racks are not a great deal of use without one! With a car however they are the most amazingly useful things. If we’re still being pedantic of course you’ll also need a bicycle if you’re going to get the maximum benefit from your car rack.
Now that we’ve done with the nit picking. We have, haven’t we? Good then lets take a look at bike racks for cars and see why our title makes such a sweeping statement. It suggests that bike racks for cars provide everything we need to enjoy the summer months to the full.
Well we are making one very big assumption here. That is that you and your family really want to get out and about on your bikes this year. More than that, you want to cycle in places that are too far away to use your bikes to get there in the first place. Certainly for a weekend anyway and probably even on a fortnight’s holiday.
That’s where the bike car rack comes in. You use it to take your bikes by car to the area you intend to explore by pedal power. There you unload them from the bicycle car rack, lock up the car and cycle off on your adventure. When it’s time to move on to pastures new or simply to go home, the bikes go back on the car rack and off you go.
Bike racks for cars become more and more relevant to present day needs as time goes by. In the current economic climate holidays abroad become increasingly expensive as exchange rates become less and less favourable to the tourist. Road fuel prices continue to edge ever upwards in all countries but particularly here at home. The cost of day to day living continues to rise so that most of us find we don’t have quite as much in our pockets to spend as we used to have and it doesn’t go as far either.
That’s quite enough of that. Are we downhearted? No of course not because we know the answer don’t we? Holiday at home where the exchange rates don’t bother us. Fit a bicycle car rack to the old banger and load up the bikes. Then we use expensive fuel only for the longer journey to our chosen touring area, which is the most economical way to use it, then leave the car parked while we tour the area using only our own energy.
If you insist on going abroad for the better weather, you won’t dodge the exchange rates but the other savings will still apply. The beauty of all this is
that your health will benefit too from all that fresh air and exercise. In fact car bike racks could well be marketed as exercise equipment!
As we’ve just seen, it’s not only a matter of economy. The health benefits of cycling cannot be denied. That’s especially so if you can get away from the fume ridden city streets and main roads. A bike car rack helps you to do just that by taking your bike to places where the air is clean due to much lighter traffic.
That’s another benefit of bike racks for cars. We all know by now about the fragile state of our poor old planet and the impact car use has on the environment. We know that cars use up precious finite resources. We all know about the dire effects of car exhaust emissions in contributing to global warming, climate change and all the other undesirable effects. Yet in this modern world we can’t live without our cars altogether.
A bicycle car rack won’t save the world but it can help in its own small way and as we know, every little helps. Everyone knows that any car achieves a higher mpg figure on long, main road journeys than it does in urban conditions or even running around country lanes with constant gear changes.
That’s because the internal combustion engine is at its most efficient when running at a steady speed. When it’s at its most efficient, not only is its fuel consumption minimised but so are the harmful emissions coming out of the exhaust pipe.
What more reasons do you need for fitting a bicycle car rack to your car. You’ll save money. You’ll become fitter and healthier, and by using your car in the most fuel efficient way possible you’ll not only save even more money, you’ll help to save the planet too. A bike car rack may not be quite the only thing you’ll need this summer but it comes close.
