Sea kayaking in cala Montgó, Costa Brava, spain

by isuny000

The day starts at the PaddleinSpain Centre Group - this center has several meeting points along the coast, depending on your tour. This tour has the meeting point in Cala Montgó (in Torroella de Montgrí) Semiurban beach, very crowded golden sand, thin calm water.This coast is characterized by imposing calcareous cliffs interrupted by beautiful creeks, cracks and caves. Their splendor rightfully justifies the name of Costa BravaYou will meet your instructor, receive your equipment, for this activity we will use a sea kayak, easy to manage and control. We will be getting change and get ready to enjoying the environment. Your instructor will be accompanying you all the time in tour and give you a briefing on safety and paddleing techniques.On this trip we will paddle from Cala Montgó, follow the coast until Cala Ferriola, where we take a break, then return to Cala Montgó. The coast on this...

Hiking the Isla del Sol

by lemondrop

The Incas believe that the sun and moon were created here. I don't know about that, but it sure as hell is beautiful. Set aside a day in your trip to Bolivia to hike the 13 miles from end to end of the Isla del Sol. After a chilly boat ride from Copacabana, you start out on the well marked footpath. Scenery all around is gorgeous. The water is is a beautiful azure, and the island is rocky and desertlike, with some great cacti. Off in the distance, the snowy peaks rise up to create a great vista. It takes about 6 hours to hike the entire island. The path can be rocky and uneven, stay aware to keep good footing. The island seems pretty unpopulated until you near the other end, where there is a small villiage. When you reach the beach where your boat will pick you up, have a refreshing drink and relax. 1-sunscreen 2-bottled water 3-hat (to block out the sun) 4-jacket and knit hat...the...

Mountain biking the world's most dangerous road

by lemondrop

Imagine an 11,000 ft. descent over a distance of 35 miles in some of the most spectacular scenery you will ever see. You start out in La Cumbre, outside of Lapaz, at a very cold 15,400 ft., and end in Coroico (warm 4,260ft.)The road at first is paved, but there might be snow or freezing rain/sleet, so be careful. My group was riding the downhill at a very fast speed, and the sleet felt like needles hitting my face. The road becomes rough later in the trip and eventually turns to rocks and dirt, or as in our case during heavy rains....MUD. This is where it gets less safe. The road from here is basically cut out of the side of mountains. You have a rock wall to your right, and a sheer drop to your left. The view down to your left, thousands of feet straight down, might send your head spinning. The road is quite narrow also, with sharp blind turns everywhere. Oh..guess what? When oncoming...

More Mountain Biking

by AlbuqRay

It was the dry season and the guide vehicle kicked up a lot of dust. It's probably worth riding in the dust to know that someone is clearing a path for you on such a narrow road. There is also a guide on the lead bike.

Soccer in Bolivia...

by marcelo15

As you know most of the countries in South America love playing soccer. Including, Bolivia indeed.Almost every single city in bolivia play soccer. so if you have the chance to go to the stadium, i recommend you to go to.In la paz the most importants soccer teams are The Strongest, and Bolivar. I think that sun glasses if it`s during the day. warm clothes if you are in la paz.

Raquet or Raquetbol

by chancay

Try to play Raquet. You can find this game almost everywhere. It´s a kind of Squash, but outside in really big Constructions made out of concrete.Don´t wonder, it makes you sweat a lot. you can organize / rent it there. You need a pair of sport shoes, balls and the raquet.

If You Survive

by AlbuqRay

If you survive your trip down the most dangerous road until Yolosa without taking a "shortcut," the weather will be much warmer there. A clear river runs through Yolosa. You may also purchase a soda or, if you are so inclined, a huge bag of coca leaves.

Mountain Bike on the World's Most Dangerous Road

by AlbuqRay

I only watched people do this on our way up the world's most dangerous road. Tour companies in La Paz furnish equipment, transportation and guides to do this. You descend 3500 m in 64 km. It is supposed to be safer than driving a car down if your bike is in good shape. A guide leads you down and would be the first one to smack into an on-coming vehicle. The pictures are near the top where the road is wider and the dropoffs less shear. Gravity Assisted Mountain Biking in La Paz is highly recommended.
