Machu Picchu Closed To Tourists

In recent weeks there are been major damage to the roads, railbeds and trails leading to Machu Picchu in Peru.  Heavy rains have caused mudslides and erosion to roads betweeen Cusco and Agus Calientes.  You may remember recent stories of 2,000 tourists being stranded at Machu Picchu after mudslides closed access roads.  After days of being stranded, tourists from around the world were airlifted out by helicopter.  Luckily the archeological site itself has not suffered damage.  For those who are hoping to visit this fascinating site this year, it will be wise to put your trip off until May and follow news of reopening closely.

Have Beds, Will Travel – A Group Tour Was Never Like This Before!

Meet Exploranter, a whole new concept in overland coach travel for those with a free spirit and the ability to sleep with bunk mates.  Move aside Greyhound, Exploranter brings the cushy leather seats, the kitchen, the beds and the shower along for the journey.  Think Winnebego meets tour bus.

Based in Sao Paulo Brazil, the moving hotel charts adventurous courses through Brazil, Chile and Argentina, visiting areas on and off the traditional tourist map.  Journeys can last from 1 week to 22 days and offer the ability to unpack once and enjoy a comfortable nomatic journey through some of the world’s most spectacular scenery.  While living space is modest,  some upscale adventures are offered along the way like hot air baloooning, horseback riding, off road rally and more surprises.  The top deck is furnished like a railway car with reclining seats and tables, while the rear is divided into 28 sleeping platforms.  Whenever the ‘hotel’ is parked, a huge canopy opens up on the side  to form a congenial kitchen and dining area.

Have a look at the Exploranter website to get an upclose look at what the adventure is all about.  AND tune up on your Spanish because it appears their English translation is not functioning at the moment :-<
