Santa Fe, New Mexico (PRWEB) June 12, 2012

Seven Directions Custom Tours offers captivating ideas to overcome both the constraints created by the economy and the shrinking free time most travelers encounter. The new line of getaways was initially inspired by the exciting transit of Venus that happened on June 5th.

These days when time is short or budgets are smaller finding meaningful vacations can be challenging. Nevertheless, for travelers looking for an empowering experience there are several opportunities offering an intense and involving travel adventure.

An Astronomy Tour under the Dark Skies of the Southwest takes immediately in an outwardly space. The sky this year is hip and trendy. Thanks to the spectacular annular solar eclipse and the enchanting transit of Venus gazing at the sky has become more popular and consequently the interest in astronomy.

The skies of Arizona and New Mexico are generally pollution-free, also free of interfering lights during the dark hours. This explains the presence of so many observatories in both territories. Therefore a well balanced program between day-time immersions in the stunning natural settings of the Southwest and night-time sky observations can easily carry away from the daily routine lifting the spirit and opening the mind.

Spirituality and Sacred Places Journeys can be shaped to different pursuits. People interested in architecture and history of churches and places of devotion can find reasons for inspiration in the 17th and 18th century Mission Churches of New Mexico and Southern Arizona.

Adventure Life Reviews New Guyana Tours: Surama Village Eco-Lodge, Karanambu Ranch, and Iwokrama Rainforest

Posted on by

Missoula, MT (PRWEB) June 27, 2012

The award-winning sustainable travel company Adventure Life has created two new Guyana tours designed for travelers looking to explore the countrys remote rainforests and savannas. The six-day Guyana Rainforest tour offers a quick overview of the rainforests and metropolitan life of the small South American country, while the 10-day Guyanas Savannas tour focuses on the Amazon watershed where remote Guyana rainforest lodges are the base for exploration. For more information on Guyana travel or Adventure Life reviews call 800-344-6118.

A USA Today story on Guyana recently noted that more than 80% of Guyana is virgin rainforest, said Adventure Life General Manager Jonathan Brunger. Guyana is truly the ultimate ecotourism destination and attracts only 2,500 visitors annually, which is roughly the number of tourists that visit Machu Picchu in a single day; it is truly an emerging, off-the-beaten-path destination.

Guyanas forests and rivers abound with wildlife, including species that are extinct or threatened worldwide. Long celebrated by birders for the incredible variety of bird species, wildlife enthusiasts will be captivated by the red howler monkeys, scarlet macaws, black caimans, and reclusive jaguars. The English-speaking country has a distinctive Caribbean flavor exhibited in the cuisine, art and language of the indigenous people. Guyana holidays offer a pristine paradise, boasting some of the most extensive contiguous rainforest in the world, and the chance to explore varied landscape from cascading waterfalls to grassy savannas.

Several commercial airlines fly from the capital city of Georgetown to the interior of Guyana, said Brunger. But most tourism is in the Rupununi region where a number of eco-lodges have formed a cooperative network. Guyana is a destination with logistical challenges, so using a reputable tour operator can be a major asset and time-saver for travelers.

The Adventure Life Guyanas Savannas tour is a wonderful holiday for travelers searching for pristine rainforest and abundant wildlife. The 10-day trip focuses on the “wild” interior in the Amazon watershed where remote lodges like Cara Lodge, a 150-year-old heritage house converted into a comfortable hotel, are the base for exploring the rainforest. This is the land of giant river otters, jaguars, black caiman, the giant anteater, and innumerable bird species in an environment still relatively untouched by humans. Guests explore the Iwokrama Rainforest, a vast wilderness of one million acres in the heart of one of four last untouched tropical forests of the world – The Guiana Shield of Northeastern South America. The Adventure Life Guyana Rainforest tour is a shorter trip designed for travelers who want to experience rainforests, see Kaieteur Falls (the worlds highest free-falling waterfall), visit Surama Village Eco-Lodge which offers a community-based experience in an Amerindian village, and explore Georgetown.
