Castle
and Gardens with Beacons Bus - by Mike Ash,
|
||
|
"Mexico" (above) shows a traditional religious street procession in the highland town of San Cristobal de las Casas in the Chiapas region of Mexico |
||
|
"Guatemala" (above) is of one of the Mayan temples at Tikal (where I believe they shot a scene from one of the Star Wars movies?!?)
"Bolivia" (above) shows a picture of the 'Salar de la Uyuni' which are Salt Flats in the South of Bolivia between 4 & 5000m above sea level. Covered completely with a thin layer of water in the wet season the 12,000 sq km area reflects the sky and clouds like a mirror giving the appearance that the island in the middle is floating.
"Bolivia2" (above) is of the area surrounding the actual Salt Flats where Llamas and Flamingos live side by side again at the same altitude, in brilliantly colored lakes in the middle of a virtual desert.
"Bolivia3" (above) is of that same desert but with amazing snow covered mountains in the background.
"Amazon1" (above) is of the Bolivian Amazon jungle that we took a river boat tour through for 3 days
and "Amazon2" (above) is of the sun setting over the Amazonian Pampas.
"Peru" (above) is of one of the Nazca Line designs seen from a light aircraft, drawn nearly 2000yrs ago no one even to this day knows for sure their exact purpose. "Peru2" (below) is of some ladies from Lake Titicaca during their Carnival Celebrations during Feb. Such traditional dress is worn from day to day and not just during festivals.
"Macchu Picchu" (below) is taken just after sunrise over the famous Peruvian site after a long and rather hard four day hike though the mountains climbing to a height of around 4200m at one point.
I just hope these pictures encourage others to come visit these amazing
places. It's been and continues to be an absolutely wonderful
experience. Treorchy.net & Treherbert.info sends many thanks to Elizabeth for taking the time to send us these fascinating glimpses of her travels. * * * |
