Location and History

Sitka Alaska is located on Baranof Island along the outer coast of the Inside Passage and only accessible by plane, ships, or boats. Vacationers who travel to Sitka find an abundance of outdoor activities that include fishing charters, hiking tours, visiting wildlife centers, camping, and kayaking. Many of the local area points of interest are located in the downtown district and within walking distance of each other, making this an easy town to explore.
Large cruise ships arriving in Sitka Alaska are not able to dock in the harbor; they must dock farther out and have passengers transported to the city on small boats. This can be a minor inconvenience for passengers who travel to Sitka, but it is more than offset by the many activities available in the city. Points of interest for vacationers to Sitka Alaska include the Russian Cemetery, Sheldon Jackson Museum, Mt Edgecumbe, the Raptor Center, and St Michael's Cathedral.
Mt Edgecumbe is an inactive volcano located on nearby Kruzof Island and can be accessed only by helicopter or boat. The 3,200-foot snow-capped cone is a 6.7-mile trek from the baseline to the top where the scenic views are unsurpassed.
Visitors who are interested in more hiking trips, and in local history, can visit the Russian Cemetery in Sitka Alaska, which is 200 years old and located on a hillside accessible by hiking along narrow trails through a densely forested area. More than 1,600 headstones mark the cemetery.

Things to Do in Sitka during 2012  and 2013

  • Hiking: Trails of varying difficulty are a stones through away, several accessible from town. Check with the Forest Service Office for more information and maps.
  • Wildlife Watching: There are several options for wildlife watching, many from the water. Check with the Sitka Visitor Center for a list of tour operators.
  • Kayaking: Sitka is perfect for kayaking, due to its open, calm waters and hundreds of islands to explore. Operators offer half, full or multiple day tours, as well as rentals for individual exploration.
  • Charters: Several operators offer fishing and sightseeing charters.

Things to See

  • Sitka National Historic Park and Totem Park: The park was created to commemorate the Tlingit and Russian experiences in Alaska. It features a temperate rain forest with traditional Tlingit totem poles that line the park’s coastal trail. It also features the Russian Bishop’s House, one of the last remaining buildings, recently restored, from the Russian colonial period in North America. A few of the small ship cruise lines offer this as an included tour/activity.
  • Alaska Raptor Center: This center is responsible for the rehabilitation of sick and injured eagles, hawks, falcons, owls, and other birds of prey which are brought in from all over Alaska. The center hosts two dozen resident raptors that could not be returned to the wild.
  • Sheldon Jackson Museum: Sheldon Jackson was a Presbyterian missionary who drove a movement to ensure the spiritual, educational, and economic well being of the people of Alaska. This meant Americanizing the culture, while discouraging indigenous languages and traditional culture. Understanding that these actions would wipe out their history, he began to collect artifacts from those cultures.
  • St. Michael’s Cathedral: A prominent icon of Sitka and a National Historic Landmark since 1962, its significance is as primary evidence of Russian influence in North America.
  • Sitka Tribe Dance Performances: The Naa Kahídi Dancers perform traditional songs and dances with visitors.
  • Sitka Historical Museum: Formerly named the Isabel Miller Museum, this little museum is a treasure–the only museum in Sitka featuring all of Sitka’s history.

The Island of La Digue
La Digue is located only a couple of miles away from Praslin, which is one of the two main tourist islands of the Seychelles. There are water taxis all the time from Praslin to La Digue. La Digue has managed to remain undeveloped, in spite of the large numbers of tourists coming from the larger Seychellois islands of Praslin and Mahe. There are only two thousand inhabitants on La Digue, and for the most part are very interested in retaining their traditional island way of life.

Brief History of ST Mont Michelle and Free Visit for half Day on merry crimmis 2012

Brief History of Mont Saint-Michel and One day Visit 2012 on
Merry Crimmis, Count of monte cristo cities image 2013
Mont Saint-Michel is a rocky island in Normandy, France. It is also called the Lee Mont St-Michel. The Mont is famous for the medieval Benedictine Abbey and church. The Mont was used primarily during the sixth and the seventh century as a monopoly of the Romano and British culture.
Brief History of Mont Saint-Michel
count of monte cristo cities
The Mont St. Michel during the 8th century was called Mont Tombe as it was the first basic construction. As per the legendary stories, the archangel Michael once came to St. Aubert, bishop of Avranches asked him to make a church on this rocky island. However, Aubert kept ignoring all his talk until Michael with his finger, burned a hole in the Bishops’ Skull. In 708, October, during the 16th century, the Mont was finally dedicated to St. Michel
Brief History of Mont Saint-Michel Tombe Latest Photos
ST Mont Michelle Photos 2011
The origin of the Mont Saint Michel dates back to sixth and seventh century, when Armorican Gauls used the island as a stronghold of Breton culture and power. During this time the island was known as “Monte Tombe”.

After the Romans left Britannia - today’s United Kingdom - in mid 5th century, many Britons crossed the channel due to fear of the increasing Anglo-Saxon influence in their former home country. This emigration is the reason why this French region is called Bretagne, in English “Brittany”- “little Britain”. The Monte Tombe served as a stronghold until it was later sacked by the Franks, which ended the era of Celtic cultural links between Britannia and the region Bretagne.

Latest Brief History of Mont Saint-Michel
ST Mont Michelle Free Visit 2012
Mont Saint Michel got its current name in 709, when the bishop of Avranches, St. Aubert, ordered a small church to be built on the site. The legend says that the Archangel Saint Michael, leader of the armies of heaven, appeared before the bishop and instructed him to build the church on this rocky isle.

Today, a golden statue of Saint Michael can be seen at the top of the church spire, protecting and overlooking the entire island.

A lot of calculated importance was given to the mount in 933 and the mount was placed on the new Frontier with Brittany. It is also been said that Michael had asked Aubert to build the Mont and call it Mont Tombe. It was a talented Italian architect, who designed the beautiful Roman church of the abbey during the 11th century, and was very daringly placed on the top of the Mount. It has also been said that a lot of underground crypts and chapel0s were made to balance the weight and it is because of their support that the top structure is seen today. The entire tour takes almost a good amount of time, hence an interval of 35 to 45 minutes is given after tour and in one day time, almost 2 to 3 tours take place. One of the best parts to look here is the movement of the shifting tides.

An Italian architect, William de Volpiano, was chosen as building contractor for the mount in the 11th century. He designed the Roman church of the abbey, daringly placing the transept crossing at the top of the mount. Many underground crypts and chapels had to be built to compensate for this weight. These formed the basis for the supportive upward structure that can be seen today. Today Mont Sa ...

Mont Saint Michel was the first French site to be added to the UNESCO list of World Heritage sites in 1979.
It was listed with criteria such as “cultural”, “historical”, “of architectural significance”, as well as “human-created” and “natural beauty”. It’s a clear testament to how special and unique this place really is.

While the Mont Saint Michel itself is outstanding, it is not the only thing this area is known for. The other thing is its tidewater. Tidewater is caused by the gravity of the sun and the moon, together with the earth’s rotation. The tide varies the most shortly after a full moon. Mont Saint Michel happens to have some of the highest tides in all of Europe.

Brief Description of water fall

Iguazu Falls is undoubtedly the most visited place in Misiones and one of the most imposing natural attractions in Argentina, and why not in South America...

Heralded as the most beautiful waterfalls in the world, the Iguazu Waterfalls are a true wonder of nature. They are located at the border of Argentina, Brazil, and Paraguay. While the Argentinean side allows visitors to walk right around the water or explore the National Park, the Brazilian side is known for its panoramic views and splendor

Roosevelt is believed to have exclaimed upon seeing these falls, “poor Niagara.” The area surrounding the falls provides ample opportunities for rock climbing as well as water sports. Iguazu has the distinction of having a greater annual flow than any other waterfall in the world.

With all of these, and many more beautiful places that exist in our world, we surrounded by choices. The only way to decide on the places to visit is to follow your heart. While some may love the tranquility of water, others may bury themselves deep in architectural miracles, ancient sites, or the serenity of a small town.
An Introduction to Iguazu Falls:
The Iguazu River Latest Image 2012 photo water
The Iguazu Falls divide the waterway into the Upper and Lower Iguazu River. The northern bank of the falls is in the Brazilian State of Parana while the southern bank sits in the Argentinean Province of Misiones. The falls themselves actually consist of over 270 separate falls that stretch for more than one and a half miles. Most of the individual waterfalls are about 200 feet in height. The most famous of them all is known as The Devil's Throat which is a U-shaped waterfall that is almost 500 feet across and well over 2,000 feet in length. When appearing in movies, post cards, and elsewhere, The Devil's Throat is usually the section of Iguazu Falls that is pictured.

In guarani language, the term "Iguazú" means "great waters". It was discovered in 1541 by Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and established in 1984 as Natural World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
                                                           
Situated in Iguazú National Park, some 20 km. from Puerto Iguazú in the north of the province, these falls are shared by Brazil and Argentina.
Iguazú river is born in Paraná state in Brazil, and after crossing 1,200 km. on a plateau where it receives several affluents, it reaches a fault forming a crack in the interleaved layers of sandstone and basalt where the river runs.

Walking on the footbridge

The Iguazu River Latest Image 2012 Bridge view

There are more than 270 falls in an area where cliffs and islets are scattered in a half moon.
From the visitors center you can walk around trails or in a picturesque train.
There are two basic circuits: an upper path and a lower path.

The lower path leads to the base of the falls, where the spray moistens visitors. It is a unique experience, worth daring the adventure. In this circuit you may also take a boat to Isla San Martín.
From the upper path you have panoramic views from the footbridge in an unforgettable experience.
Wild Adventure (Visit of River)
Apart from waterfalls, the jungle offers a series of alternatives in a dump but slightly fresher environment with a wide variety of animals and plants. Almost 500 species of wild fowl, 80 species of mammals and an immense variety of reptiles, fish, insects and butterflies live in this ecosystem.
The Iguazu River Latest Image 2012 Bridge view

Only some meters from the Research Center is Macuco Trail, a 3 km. walking path through the dense jungle with different degrees of difficulty. It is a 2 hour walk to Salto Arrechea.
A private operator offers a more daring alternative. Leaving in a 4x4 vehicle we drive 8 km. through the jungle to the coast of the inferior Iguazu river.
Some semi-rigid rafts with powerful engines will be waiting for us to go upstream and into the mist veil formed by the cascades.
Another option is to take a rowing boat in the upper Iguazú river to watch the animals and plants in this delta, and maybe see some water tortoises or yacares sunbathing on the coast.

Iguazú is a singular environment that inspired the writer Horacio Quiroga in his "Tales of the Jungle".
Who to Reached Water Falls
By bus:
Who to Reached Water Falls Argentina
The Iguazu River Latest  road map 2012
Buses from all major cities in the country arrive in each of the three towns (see there for details).
From Puerto Iguazu there are buses to the entrance of their side of the falls every half hour (currently at :10 and :40 past the hour for AR$7.5 ow).
From Foz do Iguaçu buses run every half hour from the bus terminal to the visitor's centre at the national park entrance, passing many of the main hotels in the city along the way. The R$2.20 flat fare makes the bus a very cheap way to visit the falls and it's also easy to use. If you're starting your journey at the bus terminal you pay your fare on entering the terminal and board the bus through the rear door (the bus is No. 120 to 'Parque Nacional' - the tourist information office at the terminal will point you in the right direction if you have any trouble finding it). When boarding the bus anywhere else you use the front door and pay at the turnstile onboard. The journey takes about 40 minutes. Schedules can be found at the Foz do Iguaçu city web site,
From Foz do Iguaçu to Puerto Iguazu there is a bus that leaves from just outside the bus terminal, at the corner of Rua Mem de Sá and Rua Tarobá. It costs R$3 or AR$5. The bus may or may not stop at the Brazilian border checkpoint but typically will stop at the Argentine border checkpoint, where your passport will be stamped. You can also exchange foreign currency at the Argentine border checkpoint, but be aware that the bus may leave without you if you take too long, leaving you to take a taxi (approx. AR$80) or wait for the next bus. This bus terminates at the Puerto Iguazu bus station where you can catch the bus to the National Park.
From Puerto Iguazu to Iguassu Falls National Park take a public bus from the terminal (AR$7). The bus waits while everyone gets off at the Argentine Immigration for your exit stamp. It then drives onto the Brasilian immigration where it *wont* wait for you. No worries, get your Brasil entry stamp and then walk 150m to the main road. Heading right at the roundabout there is a bus stop to the falls, 10 minutes R$2.20/AR$7. (The town is to the left, 15 mins by bus). Conveniently there are large lockers that fit backpacks at the falls entrance (buy token in the shop - R$9). Which means you can see the falls and then take the bus back to town (or the airport) and get out. Too easy.
It is not uncommon for policemen to check passports in the Argentinian side of the falls, even during domestic journeys. It is advised to carry some documentation of citizenship. If you are coming from the Brazilian side, tell the bus driver you need to stop at the Brazilian border crossing to get your passport stamped. If you try to re-enter Brazil without having been stamped you may need to pay a substantial fine.
 By Car:
The main car rental companies have offices at the Brazilian Foz do Iguaçu airport. Make sure that you mention at the time of your reservation that you intend to cross into the Argentine side to visit the park. You need a special authorization from the rental car company for that. Insurance bought on the Brazilian rental car is not valid in Argentina. You need to buy a special "carta verde" while still on the Brazilian side. It is sold at lottery stands. A three-day pass costs R$45. If caught without a "carta verde" on the Argentine side you are liable to be charged very heavy fines.
Renting a car gives you a lot of flexibility in exploring both Brazilian and Argentinian side of the cataracts.





Hotel das Cataratas:
The only hotel located within Brazil’s Iguassu National Park, Hotel das Cataratas enjoys an unrivalled location just a short stroll from the thundering action of the 275 Iguassu waterfalls. Guests enjoy exclusive access to this magnificent sight in the evening and at dawn, when the park is closed to other visitors.

This natural paradise offers countless thrills and excitement in abundance: go water rafting, view the moonlight rainbow over the falls, take a helicopter trip or walk through the rainforest to discover amazing wildlife including colourful toucans and giant butterflies. Then retreat to this tranquil hotel, with its colonial style Portuguese décor, beautiful pool, new
Cataratas Spa and orchid-filled gardens.
