5 places you should definitely try to see
1 – Iguazu Falls, Argentina/Brazil
These falls are more impressive than Niagara, and their only rival is Victoria Falls on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe. There are
270 separate falls spread over 2.7 kilometers of forest. Iguazu is between Argentina and Brazil, with each side having a very
impressive and different national park from which to take in the views. You can go to the Iguazu Falls by bus, and also on short and
cheap flights from Buenos Aires or Rio de Janeiro.
2 – Machu Picchu, Peru
The Lost City of the Incas is hard to find. There are no roads that reach Aguas Calientes, which is the charming town at the base of the
mountain. Your choices are either a 2 or 4-day hike along the famous Inca Trail, or a 5-hour train journey that leaves from Cusco each
morning. Cusco is an excellent, fun, and beautiful city. There are many attractions, and the nightlife and restaurants are good too.
3 – Tikal, Guatemala
The largest and gratest set of Mayan ruins located in northern Guatemala within the boundaries of the Tikal National Park.To visit Tikal
most people take a short flight from Guatemala City or a half-day bus ride from Belize City. The ruins are about 30 kilometers from the
small town on an island called Flores, which dates back to the 13th Century.
4 – Great Pyramids of Giza, Egypt
You can visit the pyramids in half a day because they are located only about 25 kilometers from central Cairo. Tours are usually
cheap , but it is difficult to select one. Tours also leave from some Cairo hotels each morning for those who prefer to be part of a larger
group.
5 – Petra, Jordan
A tour of Petra takes a day, and you can rent horses or mules to visit the places around. You can get to Petra after landing in
Amman, which is about 3 hours by car. You can also reach Petra from Israel, so those who include Jerusalem on their trip can enjoy
the scenery in the area.
