THE TODRA GORGES (for the Moroccans, the Gorges du Tohdra)
is a Canyon of vertical walls, which extends from its entry about 18 km direction Imilchil (Morocco), widening gradually from its entrance to its final stretch where disappear. The walls reach 300 metres in height, with a separation of 10-20 meters in its narrowest point. The route up the Gorges is very cool, because it runs through a valley filled with Palm trees, crops and ancient villages of adobe (kasbas). If you want to stay one night in the area, there are very well-equipped hotels and some quite charming.

ALMATY
29 dic
ALMATY is in Kazakhstan, which you probably consider as a country so far but a country which you must not lose because his rise in the list of destinations is being unstoppable. In Kazakhstan there are Plains, steppes, taigas, canyons, hills, deltas, mountains and deserts. Is the 9th largest country in the world and has just only… 17 million inhabitants!. Amalty is a clean city, with squares, pa…rks, fountains, it is a modern city with many entertainment sites. Amalty is the city of the photo but into the country you will see a lot of different and incredible places.
The most appropriate way to arrive is obviously the plane and within the country, a very good option is to travel by helicopter to fly over the beautiful landscapes of Kazakhstan. Another possibility is to travel by train, a safe and economic but slower option. Between nearby cities take the Bus, which tend to be comfortable.
Price for hotels is increasing. In Almaty, for example, similar to our prices.
SVALBARD
12 dic
The Svalbard archipelago is located halfway between Norway and the North Pole and offers a totally virgin nature. And what things can we do there? A lot of different things such as for example boat trips to see wildlife and the Arctic landscape, a sled or snowmobile safari, to see polar bears or eat in a sami tepe. As it is also a free of taxes area, purchases of gold or silver have very good pric…es. In Svalbard ice is perpetual and only the first meter of land disappears in summer. There is no communication channels between the dispersed settlement, so the mode of transport is made exclusively with snowmobiles and boats. Svalbard is accessible by plane. There are several weekly departures from Oslo and Tromsø.
