This is one of the most important
countries in the world from an Ecological standpoint. Whilst it has only
0.02% of the world's surface are - it boasts over 10% of all living things
found there. The country has High Andes at 6000m, steaming Amazon Rainforest,
Cloudforest, plains, coast and of course the unparalleled Galapagos Islands.
Read our Travelogue, look at our photos - and learn a little about this
amazing country.
The Maldive islands lie just North of the Equator, stretching
some 700 miles. There are over 1200 islands, and the highest point above
sea level is 5 ft. These are coral atolls, and the rich reefs that surround
these little islands are rich in coral and fish. Here is some of the best
snorkelling and diving in the world. We have visited BiYaDoo in the South
Male Atoll twice. Here is the site we put together after our first visit
in 1999.
Samoa is truly one of the strangest places
we have ever visited. Here you find a country that has houses with no
walls - and a place where people seem not to have to work! Furthermore,
it seems normal to sit in the sea up to your neck (fully clothed) to cool
off a little - and children walk barefoot to school for miles carrying
brand new rugby boots. We will add a feature on this country - but in
the meantime read an article we wrote on our return.
Peru is
a unique blend of high-altitude Andean colour steeped in Incan roots -
and the steaming Amazonian Rainforest. Glacier capped mountains rise to
6km, Incan wonders such as Machu Piccu cling to pinacles rising from verdant
cloudforests, and the rainforests East of the Andes boast unparalled natural
wonders. Read our Travelogue, see our photos from our 3 week trip to this
wonderful country.
