bonjour, nous avons reservé au sol rio de luna à Holguin et j'aimerais avoir des photos du site et un plan. Si vous avez cela, vous me ferez bien plaisir. De plus si quelqu'un à des informations qui nous seraient utile de savoir avant d'arriver sur le site, je vous remercie de nous tenir au courrant. Nous nous partons en janvier.....c'est bientôt....on compte les dodos...

Pour un court séjour à Myanmar, une dizaine de jours environ, j'avais envie, pour gagner un peu de temps, d'aller directement de Bangkok à Mandalay, de là aller visiter le Lac Inle, Bagan, etc... et donc, ne pas aller à Rangoon ; pour les personnes qui connaissent déjà qu'en pensez-vous ?

Bonjour a tous,

je projette d'aller au Canoa coral by Hilton mi-janvier. Ce qui me fait un peu peur, ce sont les commentaires sur la plage mentionnant a plusieurs reprise des coraux ou pierres pouvant blesser. Plusieurs personnes mentionnent meme qu'il est preferable de porter des chaussures.

Comme jai une petite fille de 3 ans, ca m'ennuirait franchement apres 9 heures de vol de passer deux semaines sur la plage a surveiller ou l'on pose les pieds, encore plus de devoir porter des sandales de bains !

Quelqu'un aurait-il la gentillesse de temoigner sur ce point et m'indiquer si cela n'est en fin de compte pas un peu exagere.

Merci beaucoup pour votre aide.

Nous partons 22 octobre pour Bayahibe au viva domincus palace,

j'aimerais savoir s'il y a eu beaucoup de dégats, éventuellement annuler le voyage.

Merci pourtout renseignement !

Allo

Est-ce que quelqu'un est allé au super club breezes de puerto plata? L'an dernier on en a beaucoup entendu parler; ça semble très animé, plein d'activités. Mais j'étais inquiète de la plage.........Je suis déjà allée à puerto plata (playa dorada) et je n'avais pas trouvé cela très beau.

Merci de tous vos commentaires.

Pour chacun d'eux, quels sont vos plus forts souvenirs de voyage?

Je serai à Chiang Mai en décembre et je voudrais aller à Luang Prabang

Je me pose la question si il est préferable de passer par HoueySai et le Mekong ou de faire le trajet en avion et visiter la région au départ de Luang Prabang ????

Si vous avez déjà fait des expériences......Merci

L'alpiniste français Patrick Berhault est mort ce mercredi alors qu'il se trouvait sur l'arête du Täschhorn (4.491m), dans les Alpes valaisannes en Suisse. Il était entrain d'accomplir la 67ème ascension de son projet fou : enchaîner les 82 sommets alpins de plus de 4000 m.

Tant par ses ascensions un peu partout dans le monde que par son humilité, ce type était à mes yeux vraiment quelqu'un d'exceptionnel. Il a écrit quelques livres, dont "Encordé mais libre" aux éditions Glénat, qui résume bien le personnage qu'il était.

bonsoir a tous, et oui je suis de retour pour vous donner quelque nouvelle de l'hotel sirenis! c'est un hotel super😉 j'ai passé un sejour vraiment agreable, si vous parté là bas vous ne serez pas du tout déssu pour les chambres elles sont bien ( sur tout point de vu isolation ) pour les femmes de ménage donner un pourboir dés le deuxieme jours et vous serez les servi ! point de vu restaurant il sont bien (restaurant fruit de mer il faut reserver au plus vite car il est vraiment demandé ) le service est bien aussi. au sujet de la plage elle est superbe !!! domage qu'il y a des rocher dans l'eau et il y a beaucoup de vent ( heureusement car il fait tres chaud au soleil.) le seul point faible de l'hotel s'est qu'il manque d'activitée le soir heureusement qu'il y avait un billard s'en cas les soirée serai un peu triste ( il propose juste un spectacle vers 22 h bon si vous voulez plus d'info je ferai suite a vos questions. didier 😉

Salut

J'aimerais savoir si il y aura du monde qui seront au sol cayo santa maria du 21 au 28 fevrier.

aussi, est ce qu'il y a des gens qui y sont alles recemment. quels sont vos commentaires?

Bonjour !!! 🙂

Voilà je souhaiterais un conseil car je voudrais me rendre en R.D. Sachant que je ne connais RIEN là bas...

J'ai presque lu tous les messages sur ce forum qui concernaient la R.D. mais je vois que les avis sont très partagés, c'est limite si ça me donne envie de partir 🤪, je souhaite vraiment un séjour de rêve, je ne suis pas à 100 euros prêts...

J'ai un budget de 700-1000 euros, je souhaite séjourner dans un hôtel :

- situé non loin d'une plage de rêve (sable blanc fin, pas de rocher dans la mer(!), eau transparente ou turquoise ... très luxueux avec du personnel aimable toujours au service du client, pas trop sale, belle piscine non loin d'endroits incontournables comme PAR EXEMPLE l'île de Semana je crois (ou d'autres endroits interressants, j'ai entendu dire qu'il y avait pas mal d'îles incontournables, bref pas un hôtel loin de tout) si possible "all inclusive" ...

Merci d'avance pour vos précieux conseils, j'attends avec impatience, j'espère que je n'aurai pas trop d'avis différents ou en tout cas que les critiques seront constructives!

Enfin, j'aimerais connaître la meilleure période pour partir, vu que j'ai le choix (pour l'instant j'ai prévu novembre, et par Promovacances, Degriftour/Lastminute, ou Partirpascher/Switch)

Merci encore à tous et à toutes 😎 !

Bonjour,

Mon amie et moi souhaiterions passer une semaine voire 10 jours à gibraltar pour la période du 30 août au 15 septembre 2003.

Auriez-vous des "tuyaux", des adresses, des bons plans ou tour operators à nous soumettre pour y aller sachant que nous aurions une préférence pour un départ de Genève (Suisse) ou éventuellement de Paris ?

Toutes vos idées sont les bienvenues.

Merci d'avance aux personnes gentilles qui nous répondront.

Foreword This text has been proofread many times. Sorry if some points in this A to Z have already been covered on this forum. Text and drawings by the author.

Peru is still a very vast country, with so much to see, and obviously this text can't list all the attractions of the country.

*Abiseo (River) A national park that's very hard to access and doesn’t seem open to visitors. Includes the Gran Pajaten site (see below). Personally, it really sparks my imagination (not visited personally)

*Aguas Calientes the town next to Machu Picchu, more precisely below the archaeological site. As far as I know, you can only get there by train. Reminds me of the market where stalls line both sides of the tracks near Bangkok. I love it

*Altiplano: somewhere the "heart" of the Andes. I was able to trek across it on foot, starting from Caracollo in Bolivia, and of course, it’s vast plains to explore. This is where people live in a very rural way. Andean populations are quite austere compared to those in the lowlands or on the coast. You really have to appreciate the harshness of life to live there. Life is anything but superficial. I set a compass heading and found myself walking west toward the expanse of water near a place called La Joya. For pitching the tent, the nights were still chilly

*Canyon del Colca One of the deepest canyons in the world. Personally, I hiked down and back up on foot. The toughest stretch I’ve ever covered in my life.

*Ceviche More or less the national dish. A marinade of fish, shellfish, and lime. But you can find it in some restaurants in Europe, France, and certainly in Belgium or Switzerland. In the small restaurants of Pisco, you can eat excellent ceviche

*Cerro Sechín: Mostly bas-reliefs. A site little known to travelers in the Casma province. The first vestiges of a pre-Inca civilization with iconography similar to that of Chavín (not visited personally)

*Chan Chan A large city of the Chimú civilization and relatively vast to visit. You can see adobe walls with bas-reliefs. Visit from Trujillo, take a colectivo. Plan for the whole day

*Charango: a small guitar widely used in Andean music

*Chauchilla A necropolis near Nazca where you can see mummies exposed on the ground. YouTubers can do paranormal experiments there. And for anyone wondering about the fate of the soul and body after death, here’s the answer: the body remains after death. You can imagine your own flesh and body exposed to the winds of the Pampa and before eternity... (not visited personally)



*Chavín de Huántar (Lanzón) The site’s appeal lies in its mountainous surroundings, the Lanzón stela, and the sculpted heads on the façades. What few people know is that the Chavín civilization began its expansion centuries before the Incas. Unfortunately, you can’t get too close to see the Lanzón—the day I was there, it was protected by grilles. To get there: minibus from Huaraz or trek from Olleros. Then cross a high pass (over 5,000m). If you do it solo on foot, be careful—the path isn’t obvious from Olleros

*Chullpa: funerary tower, notably at Sillustani in the Lake Titicaca region

*Chimú: pre-Inca civilization whose center was Chan Chan.

*Chola/Cholitas (Bolivia): typical clothing style of women from the Andean plateaus



*Chompa: pronounce it *Chompaaa!* A common term for a wool sweater with vicuña patterns, often knitted from alpaca wool. If you dress like this, it’s a bit kitschy around the edges

*Cuy That one isn’t a guinea pig like in Guyana but an actual guinea pig. During a trip to Peru, I was hiking near a village north of Quillabamba (the terminus of the train line that passes through Aguas Calientes), and I was invited to stay in a house. The family raised a few of these pets. Apparently, the locals eat them. Since I’m not much of a meat-eater, it doesn’t really tempt me. How about you?

*Pacific Coast or how to talk about a place you haven’t visited? Except for the coast near Pisco and San Andrés, I haven’t visited any coastal cities. But that doesn’t mean these places lack interest or poetry. For fans of clichéd images, pelicans, seabirds, and fishing boats appear by the sea.

*Gran Pajaten: also closed to the public. Features anthropomorphic bas-reliefs. (not visited personally)

*Huaca. Visit the Huaca del Sol and Huaca de la Luna, especially near Trujillo. However, you can skip them—Chan Chan is still more interesting. Don’t forget to spend time visiting Chan Chan

*Huacachina A small oasis in the desert near Ica. Yes, we’re talking about an oasis because for those who’ve never traveled to Peru, the coastal strip along the Pacific is almost entirely desert, from north to south. Peru is territorially made up of three different regions: the desert coast, the Altiplano stretching north to south with mountain ranges (the Cordilleras), and the Amazon basin to the east. (not visited personally)

*Inca Kola It’s neither Coca-Cola nor Pepsi but a unique cola with a slightly orange color. Tastes like bubble gum

*Intiwatana: a carved rock shaped like a parallelepiped. Is it a sundial?

*Ballestas Islands: a highlight in Peru, though very touristy. You can only get there by boat from the port of San Andrés, a few kilometers from Pisco. It’s a surreal place to me—actually islets with cavities where sea lions and fur seals live. Since it’s a protected area, you’re not allowed to disembark. Guano is harvested there, which can be used as fertilizer.

*Kuelap: a fortress built by the Chachapoyas people. Rarely visited by travelers. (not visited personally)

*Larco Museum: an iconic museum in Lima with a large collection of pieces from archaeological and pre-Columbian sites. From what I remember, it has many pieces from the Moche civilization. As for the Moche statuettes, the prudish might look away. Probably a veneration of the god Priapus without knowing it.

*Nazca Lines Discovered by German archaeologist Maria Reiche, they stretch for kilometers. The designs in the desert around Nazca depict animals and cabalistic signs. The question I ask myself is why the creators of these lines represented a monkey and a hummingbird—species endemic to the tropical forest, not the desert plains around Nazca.

*Machu Picchu: means "old mountain" in Quechua. There’s also Wayna Picchu. The ruins of the site emerge from a sort of small plateau above Aguas Calientes. When the mist rises above the site and the bend of the Urubamba River, it’s truly magical... Also the starting point of the Inca Trail.



*Coca tea A decoction/infusion of the coca plant, meant to ease altitude sickness or *soroche*

*Chullo A rough translation would be a Peruvian wool hat.

*Moche: a civilization established in the Moche Valley, hence the term *Mochica*. What characterizes this civilization are the distinctive clay pieces representing faces and erotic statuettes

*Papa a la Huancaína A local potato dish

*Pisac: a typical market near Cusco

*Pisco Sour: perhaps the Peruvian equivalent of the *caipirinha* you drink in Brazil.

*Puya Raimondii A Bromeliaceae that still looks like a cactus, endemic to the Altiplano

*Quechua The language spoken by the indigenous people of the high plateaus (as well as Aymara in Bolivia)

*Quipu A knotted string used for counting. Widely used by the Inca administration.

*Sacsayhuamán (Q’enqo, Inca Bath) From Cusco’s Plaza de Armas, take the streets that climb above the city. Sacsayhuamán is called a fortress and is made up of large stone blocks. You wonder how the Incas could cut such huge blocks to assemble them—just like some streets in Cusco. The Q’enqo block is enigmatic; no one really knows what it represents.

*Savia Andina An Andean folk group.

*Tambo (=> Ollantaytambo) The Inca emperor (Atahualpa, Manco Capac) had the mission of controlling a vast empire. An empire that was still very extensive. Hence the importance of these *tambos* or relay stations. Napoleon created the civil code; the Incas invented the *tambos* and *quipus*.

*Tawantinsuyu: the Inca Empire

*Tinku: a warrior dance practiced mainly in Bolivia

*Golden Tumi: a sacrificial weapon. Often featured in Peru travel guides. See illustration



*Terra X: a documentary series from the German TV channel that aired on Arte. Some episodes focused on pre-Inca and Inca Peru. I must have some old recording tapes. In memory of Gottfried Kirchner as a source of inspiration.

*Uros: I checked—it actually refers to the people who live on these floating islands. Even if it’s touristy, it’s a must-visit because it’s incredible how people can live on islets made from nothing. Take the boat from Puno

*Vicuña, llama, guanaco: camelids characteristic of the Altiplano



*Wayna Picchu The young Picchu mountain. In the first minutes of *Aguirre, the Wrath of God*, you see Klaus Kinski—well, Aguirre—making his way along the Inca Trail. Werner Herzog must have broken his back filming those sequences.

*Zampoña: pan flute

I visited Colombia in January 2016 and I’m heading back from August 6th to 17th with the same airline to see how things have changed. Starting August 18th, I’ll continue with independent exploration. I prefer slow travel and enjoying places at my own pace. Any tips—especially for getting around or must-see spots—are welcome!

Hi there, my partner and I want to hike the GR34 over several years, in stages of 8 to 10 days of walking during May or June. We're 53 and 55, pretty fit, and used to hiking. Our goal is to complete the whole trail starting from Mont Saint-Michel, but maybe some sections aren’t worth it? So I’ve got a few questions about logistics: - backpack size and what essentials to pack - where to sleep affordably (camping, hotels, or a mix?) Thanks for your tips!

I’m sharing our three-week trip to Japan from late October to mid-November 2025. There were four of us—my partner and a couple of friends. I’ve traveled often with my friend Christian (Bolivia, Argentina, Costa Rica, Namibia, Laos), but this time our partners joined us. The rough itinerary: Arrival in Tokyo. Visiting Shinjuku/Shibuya districts + day trip to Kamakura 5 days in the Japanese Alps, from Matsumoto to Kanazawa (via Kamikochi, Hirayu Onsen, and Takayama) 5 days in Kyoto Nara, Osaka, Koyasan Return to Tokyo (Asakusa district), with a day trip to Nikko We booked our flights well in advance (9 months ahead): the flight cost 1086 € per person. Compared to over 2000 € if we’d booked for the same dates just 3 months prior. For accommodations, we mostly used Booking.com. The onsen was booked via Japanican, and in Kyoto, we stayed in an Airbnb. We also made 5 train reservations a month in advance on Klook or directly on the train’s website.

Day 1: Departure from Brussels (October 24, 2025) Early morning takeoff at 6 AM to Munich (1.5-hour layover) with Lufthansa, then a 12-hour flight with ANA, arriving the next morning at 7 AM at Tokyo Haneda.

Day 2: Arrival in Tokyo Airport formalities were quick. The eSIM we bought before leaving activated as soon as we landed (10 GB plan with Saily—more than enough for our mobile internet needs, mainly Google Maps and Google Translate). We’d received 4 ICOCA cards from our neighbors, which we loaded with 15000 ¥ each. We took the Keihin train, then the Yamanote Line. It’s easy to navigate since everything is in English, and each station is announced on scrolling displays in English too.

We got off the Yamanote Line at the station just after Shinjuku because it’s easier to exit that massive station with our luggage. So we ended up in Shin-Okubo, right in the Korean district. A 10-minute walk took us to Villa Fontaine Hotel. A great hotel, well-located north of the Kabukichō district. The room even seemed bigger than we’d expected.

It was 15°C, but it rained—and kept raining on and off all day. Belgian weather, basically. We went for a walk in Shinjuku Gyoen Park. Not as pretty in the rain, but the big greenhouse was interesting.

Then our first ramen (hearty and for 1000 ¥—pretty much the price of all our ramen during the trip). We headed back to the hotel since check-in was after 3 PM. Shower and relax before going out for dinner. Dinner was barbecue at Shichirin Yakiniku Anan (1700 ¥ each—good and cheap). Ordering via tablet wasn’t easy, but luckily it was in English.

We ended the evening with a stroll through Kabukichō before a well-deserved sleep.

hi everyone, I’m putting together an itinerary for Sri Lanka in September 2026, so I’m focusing on the east side of the island because of the monsoon on the west coast: Day 1 Kandy: botanical garden, fruit and vegetable market, traditional dance show Day 2 Kandy-Ella train Day 3-4 Kumana NP or Lunugamvehera Block 6+5 Day 5-6 Komari / Pottuvi lagoon safari Day 7 head up the east coast along the beaches to reach Wasgamuwa NP Day 8 Wasgamuwa NP early morning safari, then Polonnaruwa (temple and palace) Day 9-10 Sigiriya Lion’s Rock and Dambulla, cave temple Day 11-12 Wilpattu NP early morning safari, then late afternoon Day 13-14 Kalpitiya, snorkeling and chilling Day 15 return to Colombo Thanks for sharing your thoughts on whether this route is doable—we’ll be traveling with a driver-guide. Feel free to mention any great tips or good homestay experiences you’ve had, since we prefer those.

Is wild camping possible? Are there campsites and places to restock along the way, and is water available? Thanks for your answers! Pierrick

Hi again, I’m adding more details to my info request. Here are two proposed itineraries. We’re hesitating: Colombo - Unawatuna 2 days - Sinharaja 1 day - Bandarawela 2 days - Kandy 3 days - Dambulla 2 days - Wilpattu Park 1 day - Kalpitiya 3 days - Negombo 1 day What should we change or add a day for to include Jaffna?

Or: Negombo 1 day - Anuradhapura 2 days - Jaffna 2 days - Sigiriya 2 days - Dambulla 1 day - Kandy 2 days - Ella 1 day - Galle 3 days For your advice. Is it better to finish in Galle or Kalpitiya? Thanks in advance! Nicole

Hey everyone!

I’d like to explore the northeast of Madagascar, using bush taxis, boats, and my own two feet.

I already have an ideal itinerary in mind, but I’d love to know if it’s doable at a relaxed pace in one month. The goal, of course, is to avoid being constantly focused on time and days and to travel spontaneously.

I’m aware that the roads are rough and there are a lot of unexpected delays, which isn’t a problem in itself. I just struggle to estimate the *time* it takes to get between stops.

Potential itinerary:

Tana – Sainte Marie Island (4 days) – Maroantsetra (3 days) – Masoala Park (8-day trek?) – Antalaha – Marojejy Park (3 days) – Ambilobe – Nosy Be (5 days) – Tana

The days listed are just rough averages. Cities don’t interest me, and I don’t plan to visit Tana.

I’d really appreciate any info or tips from you all! 😊

Thanks in advance,

Romain

Hi there, We’re just back from a three-week trip to Sri Lanka, from July 15 to August 11. A few random tips—if you’ve got more specific questions, just ask. If we know the answer, we’ll be happy to help!

What an amazing country! I had a small bias at first, wasn’t totally convinced, but that disappeared fast. Stunning coastal and mountain landscapes, cultural visits, hikes, and such a warm welcome.

Here’s our itinerary in order: Colombo-Anuradhapura-Trincomalee-Polonnaruwa-Dambulla-Sigiriya-Kandy-Haputale-Ella-Tangalle-Galle-Negombo.

Whenever we can, we travel only by public transport, and in Sri Lanka, it’s totally doable. Trains, of course, and buses all the time—everywhere and super cheap. We’d head to the bus station to get a seat, but they also stop along the route. From the airport to Colombo Fort, take bus 187—it’s parked on the right as you exit.

Weather-wise, despite it being the less favorable season for some regions, we only had two half-days of rain. That was one of our worries, but maybe we just got lucky.

For hiking, beyond the well-known climbs in all the guidebooks and blogs (which are great too), there’s a long-distance trail in the mountain region (Kandy, Ella, etc.) that’s really well marked. It’s called the Pekoe Trail, and there’s an app you can download (Pekoe Trail) that gives you the full route and details for each stage—25 in total, I think, ranging from 9 to 15 km. We did 4 of them, not in a row, but starting from our different accommodations. They’re not loops, but you can always find a bus, train, or tuk-tuk to get back or to reach the end of a stage and return. The landscapes are beautiful, the encounters plentiful, and tourists are rare—which is nice sometimes.

Happy travels!

Hi there! I’m heading out in August for a two-day trek in the Vale do Pati. Do I need proper hiking boots, or will trail-running shoes do the job? Thanks in advance for your feedback! 😊😃

Hi there, How do you get from Tamatave or Foulpointe to Sainte Marie Island? We’re heading to Madagascar from July 16 to 29, 2025. How many days should we stay to explore the area? What’s there to do in Tamatave, Foulpointe, or Sainte Marie Island? What should we visit? Thanks everyone!

It’s vacation time Vacation and silence Silence and absence Absence and latency Latency and silence Silence and vacation Vacation and absence It’s vacation time

I wrote these few words on July 12, 2010, and I can post them again today—nothing’s changed...🙂
