This is but one of Manaus, Brazil's ferry docks, and a picture can't describe the chaos each experiences when entire families, farm animals, products of all description and other entities are put on board the ferry of choice. The stalls in the middle of the dock sell food and refreshments, and some rent (and sell) hammocks for overnight journeys on the river. There is no air conditioning on the ferries, and in this very hot climate I was quick to wonder how locals endure their journeys, as addicted to AC that I am. Additional Manaus Photos

Baltic Sea

Baltic Sea map print this map

The Baltic Sea is positioned in Northern Europe and bordered by Sweden (a part of the Scandinavian Peninsula), Finland, Russia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, northeastern Germany, and eastern Denmark and its numerous islands. In the north, above the Aland Islands, the Baltic Sea is referred to as the Gulf of Bothnia. In the east, the Gulf of Finland connects the Baltic Sea to St. Petersburg, Russia. In the south and southeast it forms two small gulfs, including the Gulf of Gdansk and the Gulf of Riga. The definitive western end of the Baltic Sea is difficult to determine, as well as indicate on the map, but in general terms its waters flow on through Kattegat Bay into the Skagerrak Strait, and then merge with the North Sea. Estimating the size of the Baltic Sea is based on where the sea actually ends, so all known measurements are estimates, at best. Wikipedia references a surface area of 377,000 sq km, while Baltic Resources uses 375,600 sq km. Average depth runs near 55 meters (180 ft), while the maximum depth is measured at 459 meters (1,506 ft). The Kiel Canal in northern Germany, is one of the world's busiest artificial waterways. International sea traffic uses it to connect between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea, thus saving hundreds of miles of additional travel time around Denmark, and the related high costs of transportation.

GALAPAGOS ISLANDS

A Brief Description Fast Facts Flag Landforms Lat/Long Links Maps Time Traveler Info Weather

PRINT THIS MAP

A Brief Description Sitting right atop the Equator, approximately 600 miles directly west of Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands had no original inhabitants. They were discovered in 1535 by Tomas de Berlanga, the Spanish Bishop of Panama, when his ship drifted by the islands. Reportedly in the 17th and 18th centuries, ocean pirates used the islands as rendezvous points, as well as for fresh food and water. The Galapagos was finally annexed by Ecuador in 1832, and a decade later, a few small settlements were established on some of the islands. Visited by the English naturalist Charles Darwin in 1835, his subsequent studies of local wildlife noted that almost all of the animals and plants here were endemic to the islands, which of course contributed to his famous theory of natural selection, and put these special islands on the map for the rest of the world to experience. The islands became Ecuador's first national park, and these now aggressively-protected islands and the surrounding marine reserve were both declared World Heritage sites. Travel to these islands is strictly controlled by Ecuador, and a visit to the home of the giant tortoise, marine iguanas, and Darwin's finches must (should) be done through a professional tour operator, of which there are many operating through Quito. Learn more about the Galapagos Islands here!

Attractions

The original inhabitants of the Rhode Island area (the Narragansett, Niantic and Wampanoag Indians) would perish from diseases brought to this land by European explorers in the 17th century, and from the brutalities of colonial expansion across their ancestral homelands.

NEWPORT - here! PROVIDENCE - here!

In that regard, the Dutch explorer, Adriaen Block, visited an island (now called Block Island) in 1614, and by 1625, the Dutch West India Company had established a trading post on an island in Narragansett Bay, and was actively trading with the Indians.

RHODE ISLAND FAMOUS NATIVES - here!

However, in 1774, Rhode Island political leader, Stephen Hopkins, introduced a bill that prohibited the importation of slaves into the colony, and it became the first anti-slavery laws passed in the colonies. The British saw an opportunity to tax the new-found wealth of their America's colonies, and Rhode Island was no exception. Eventually the tariffs and restrictive rules levied by England reached a boiling point, and Rhode Island was the first to declare its independence. America's Revolutionary War was fought on many fronts, and the Battle of Rhode Island - an effort to expel the British ships from Narragansett Bay - though mostly unsuccessful for the colonial army, was, according to some historical writers, the motivation for the eventual abandonment of Newport by the British.

Anne Hutchinson (a religious dissident) was also exiled from the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1638. She and other religious exiles subsequently brought additional settlers into this harsh new land.

In the 1700's, farming and sea trading were profitable businesses in Rhode Island. From Newport and Providence large shipping fleets traded rum distilled from molasses for African slaves. They then traded their cargo in the West Indies for additional molasses and sugar, thus perpetuating the slave trade.

Famous Natives

In 1635, William Blaxton (or Blackstone) from Boston became the first permanent European settler here. In 1636, Roger Williams, banished from the Massachusetts Bay Colony for his religious views, settled at the tip of Narragansett Bay. He called the site Providence and declared it a place of religious freedom.

For decades the colonists struggled onward, and in 1663, King Charles II issued a long-desired charter for all of Rhode Island and Providence. United as one, a certain-degree of self-government was reached, and religious freedoms continued on.

As the plight of black slaves in the southern states grew into a controversial issue, that moral dispute between the northern and southern states peaked, and in 1861, America's Civil War began.

Rhode Island joined the Union cause and over 25,000 of its men joined the battle. In addition, Rhode Island, as well as other northern states, used its industrial capacity to supply the Union Army.

That bloody Civil War finally ended in 1865, and in the years that followed Rhode Island's economy was the country's manufacturing hub for files, machine tools, jewelry and precious-metal industries, rubber goods, steam engines, and much, much more. During World War I (1917-1918) the state continued to prosper right up to the Great Depression of the 1930's, and in the end, it was World War II that sparked the state's 20th century economic engine.

Devils Islands Locator Map

PHOTOS...

PHOTOS...

The Devil's Islands archipelago consists of three small islands, located just a few miles off the coast of French Guiana. The group includes Ile du Diable (Devil's Island), Ile Ste-Joseph and Ile Royale.

Their original name was the Triangle Islands, but after decades of proving hazardous to shipping, their name was appropriately changed to the Devil's Islands, and how prophetic that name would later become. Known throughout the modern world by the brutal history of the 19th century French penal settlement that was located here, it was Ile du Diable (or Devil's Island itself) that perpetuated that story across the planet, especially with the release of a novel and movie called Papillon. Although a fictional tale, it contained accounts of the difficult daily life gathered from actual surviving prisoners. The island's most famous prisoner, Captain Dreyfuss, a French army officer falsely accused of espionage, spent over 5 years on Devil's Island itself. He was finally pardoned and awarded the French Legion of Merit. Regardless, his years of imprisonment and the fate of thousands of others have made the Devil's Islands an unfortunate part of French history.

This is a look at the infamous Devil's Island from high atop Ile Royale. Access to the island is not granted to tourists, and trying to get there is considered impossible as the current between the two island is very swift, and the channel is (supposedly) filled with sharks. A larger look at the entire island

All three of the islands in the Devil's Islands archipeligo, Ile du Diable (Devil's Island), Ile Ste-Joseph and Ile Royale are ringed by swaying coconut palms.


This manmade, grass-covered path leads to the upper reaches of Ile Royale. According to the local guide, all paths and trails were built by prisoners.

Even though Devil's Island (Ile du Diable) is famous around the world, the main prison within the Devil's Islands group was built at the highest point on Ile Royale and it housed 99% of all inmates. This is one of the rustic entrance doors to the complex.

The interior of Ile Royal was literally infected by coconut palms.



It was here that prisoners from France (like the one shown above) were held. Conditions were brutal and harsh, and of the 80,000 criminals sent here, only 30,000 lived to tell about it.

This is one of the haunting cell windows in the prison complex, behind which conditions were reportedly deplorable. Solitary confinement was often used, and men would spend 6 months to 5 years in a dark, closet size cell. We walked around the entire shoreline of Ile Royale, and its beach areas were literally covered by thousands and thousands of coconuts.

Most prisoners, and many of the prison guards, contracted Malaria and other aliments. This is all that remains of the large prison hospital.



Colorful flowers provided the few-and-far-between bright spots on Ile Royale.

Death was an everyday occurrence within the prison and this ugly (rather scary) building was used as the island mortuary.



Another bright spot in this rather dreary place were the colorful, independent roosters that roamed the island at will, just like in Key West, Florida.



In the local gift shop, postcards were popular purchases for ship passengers. This one illustrated the unfortunate souls that were imprisoned here.

This cemetery on Ile Royale contained graves of non-prisoners, mostly children and those of early settlers. Prisoners that died were often (unceremoniously) throw into the sea.



Finally, after all of the doom and gloom, a cute and happy prisoner. She willingly broke out of jail and joined me on the ship.

The 'Voodoo Bone Lady' of New Orleans always attracts a big crowd of fortune-seekers in Jackson Square.

New Orleans' French Quarter is dripping with atmosphere, and the fareastern end of Royal Street is no exception.

New Orleans is the most celebrated city in the Southern United States, the largest in the state of Louisiana, and the state's #1 tourist and vacation attraction. A heavenly blend of mouth watering Creole food, rich historic roots and great Blues and Jazz music make it the vibrant city that it is!

Louis Armstrong, nicknamed Satchmo, was an American jazz trumpeter and singer from New Orleans, Louisiana. This fabulous painting stands near Jackson Square where dozens of artists display their creativity. As for the "No Photos" sign, I must have missed it.

Arnaud's Restaurant returns all of its guests (many repeat) to 19th century grandeur. The elegant rooms at this world class restaurant reflect impeccable design, and its tuxedo-clad wait staff, a minimum of one for each ten guests, provide very attentive service. It's a bit pricey, but a wonderful experience.

Size: 13,209,000 sq km, 5,100,021 sq miles (varies due to changing ice shelves) Percent of Earth's Land: 8.9% Status Antarctica, almost 98% solid ice, was finally considered a continent in 1840, and not just a group of isolated islands. Today it has active territorial claims submitted by Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom. (Many of these claims are not recognized by some countries and remain in a constant disputed status) Capital City none Climate Antarctica is the coldest and windiest spot on the planet. In fact, the lowest temperature ever recorded on Earth was recorded in Antarctica (-129.3ºF) and the mean winter temperatures range from -40º to -94ºF. Winds are commonly measured at up to 200 miles per hour. Current Weather at the South Pole.

Antarctic Circle

The Antarctic (or Antarctica) Circle is one of the five major circles or parallels of latitude that mark maps of the Earth. Show on the image above with a dashed red line, this parallel of latitude sits at approximately 66.33° south of the Equator. It marks the northern limit of the area within which, for one day or more each year, the sun does not set or rise. The length of continuous day or night increases southward from the Antarctic Circle, mounting to six months at the South Pole.

The Arctic This region of the planet, north of the Arctic Circle, includes the Arctic Ocean, Greenland, Baffin Island, other smaller northern islands, and the far northern parts of Europe, Russia (Siberia), Alaska and Canada. The Arctic Circle, incidentally, is an imaginary line located at 66º, 30'N latitude, and as a guide defines the southernmost part of the Arctic. The climate within the Circle is very cold and much of the area is always covered with ice. In the mid winter months, the sun never rises and temperatures can easily reach lows of - 50º F in the higher latitudes. In the summer months (further south), 24 hours of sunlight a day melts the seas and topsoil, and is the main cause of icebergs breaking off from the frozen north and floating south, causing havoc in the shipping lanes of the north Atlantic. The primary residents of the Arctic include the Eskimos (Inuits), Saami and Russians, with an overall population (of all peoples) exceeding 2 million. The indigenous Eskimos have lived in the area for over 9,000 years, and many have now given up much of their traditional hunting and fishing to work in the oil fields and the varied support villages. The first explorers of the Arctic were Vikings. Norwegians visited the northern regions in the 9th century, and Erik the Red (Icelander) established a settlement in Greenland in 982. In 1909, after numerous attempts by regional explorers, Robert E. Peary reached the North Pole.

Myanmar since 1989 as the conventional name for their state. That decision was not (and is not) approved by any sitting legislature in Burma, and is not accepted by the U.S. government. However, Myanmar is widely accepted by numerous countries, and by the United Nations. European Russia: The Russian landmass west of the Ural Mountains is commonly referred to as European Russia in most educational atlases, and by the vast majority of geography experts. It is not a separate country, but rather called that because of its political, cultural and geographical blendings with Europe. For reference purposes it is shown above to the west of the dashed-line, however, the entire country (as a whole) is still considered part of the continent of Asia. Middle East: Countries considered part of the Middle East (or West Asia) are shown in a lighter shade of green, and their names are indicated in red. They are all still part of the continent of Asia. Taiwan is still considered by China to be its 23rd province, and not an independent country. Very few other country governments accept China's claims of sovereignty over Taiwan. Opinions vary as to what countries make up the modern definition of Asia and the Middle East. Historically, Armenia and Azerbaijan have been long associated with the Middle East, but in recent years, some sources now consider them to be more closely aligned with Europe based on their modern economic and political trends. We have moved in that direction, and the same can be said for the island country of Cyprus. Turkey is officially, politically and geographically considered part of both Asia and Europe. The small northwestern portion of Turkey named (Thrace) is a recognized part of Europe, while the largest part (Anatolia) is located in the Middle East, a part of Asia.

OCEANIA, the smallest continent, is one of the most diverse and fascinating areas on the planet. A large percentage of geography experts now consider the long-established continent of Australia to be more accurately defined as Australia/Oceania. Collectively it then combines all of Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, as well as the thousands of coral atolls and volcanic islands of the South Pacific Ocean, including the Melanesia and Polynesia groups. Oceania also includes Micronesia, a widely scattered group of islands that run along the northern and southern edges of the Equator.

Caribbean Indians were the first inhabitants here, and then, in 1492, Christopher Columbus began his exploration of these islands, becoming the first European to venture into the area. After reportedly landing in the Bahamas, Columbus named these islands the Indies, because he thought he had finally reached Asia (and the East Indies). Numerous explorers followed in his path, then settlers arrived from the Americas and Europe. Included in that mix were religious outcasts, slaves from Africa, and a small army of pirates. Great military powers would fight for control of the islands, and finally, a blended mix of African and European cultures and languages transformed this large group of islands and its peoples into one of the premier tourist destinations on the planet. Long called the West Indies, the overall area is now commonly referred to as the Caribbean, a name that became popular after World War II. Note: In reality the Bahamas are not considered a part of the Caribbean, however, we show them here because of their cultural, geographical and political associations with the Greater Antilles, and other Caribbean Islands.

Description Europe, the planet's 6th largest continent includes 47 countries and assorted dependencies and territories. In exacting geographic definitions, Europe is really not a continent, but part of the peninsula of Euroasia which includes all of Europe and Asia. However, it's still widely referred to as a continent. The European continent is separated from Asia by Russia's Ural Mountains, and the Caspian and Black Seas. Europe's highest point, just north of the Georgia border in European Russia is Mt. Elbrus at 18,481 ft (5,633m). Its lowest point is on the edge of the Caspian Sea, at 92 ft (28m) below sea level.

Description The Middle East (or West Asia) sits where Africa, Asia and Europe meet. The countries of the Middle East are all part of Asia, but for clarity reasons we geographically show them here as a separate landmass. Opinions vary as to what countries make up the modern definition of the Middle East. Historically, Armenia and Azerbaijan have been long associated with the Middle East, but in recent years, some sources now consider them to be more closely aligned with Europe based on their modern economic and political trends. We have moved in that direction, and the same applies for the island country of Cyprus, as it does for Georgia, the former Russian republic. The African country of Egypt is still thought (by some) to be in the Middle East, as well as the northern African countries that border the Mediterranean Sea. We attempt here to show the modern definition, but in world of geography, there are often many answers or (personal or political opinions) to what appears to be a simple question.

Manaus, Brazil Locator Map

PHOTOS...

PHOTOS...

Manaus, Brazil, nearly 1,000 miles inland from the Atlantic Ocean, is a modern city (literally) surrounded by the Amazon rainforest. Positioned at the confluence of the Negro and Solimoes rivers, it's a hectic cosmopolitan area where the daily life of its population revolves around those rivers, and the hundreds of ferries that travel the local waters. From its busy port (on ferries stuffed to the rafters), animals, people and products of all description travel up and down the rivers 24/7, and there is no other choice....as conventional roads are few and far between. In the 19th century fortunes were made in this part of Brazil from rubber trees that grew (only) in the Amazon. Manaus was ground-zero for those rubber barons, and the city became known as the "Paris of the Tropics." Remnants of that era remain today, with the city's opulent Opera House its most famous symbol.

At sunset, this is a partial view of the downtown skyline of Manaus, Brazil.

This one of the city's many ferry docks, and a picture can't describe the chaos each experiences when entire families, farm animals, products of all description and other entities are put on board the ferry of choice. The stalls in the middle of the dock sell food and refreshments, and some rent (and sell) hammocks for overnight journeys on the river. There is no air conditioning on the ferries, and in this very hot climate I was quick to wonder how locals endure their journeys, as addicted to AC that I am. A large, more detailed ferry dock photo

To the immediate east and west of downtown Manaus, wooden stilt houses by the hundreds front the waterfront.

This man was one of hundreds carrying supplies down to the ferry dock above.


Another look at stilt houses in Manaus....a few hours after sunrise.

http://www.worldatlas.com/twitter/satrip/manaus/manausphotopage.htm[4/9/2010 4:18:59 PM]


Another look at the colorful ferries that cover the waterfront in Manaus.

Fishing is obviously a huge business in the Amazon Basin, and early morning boats of all sizes come to Manaus to unload the overnight catch.

This is a typical city street in central Manaus where dozens of vendors and countless locals fight for some personal space in this very crowded metro.



Many scale the fish right on their boat, before moving them to the street above. A few fisherman sold their catch right from their boat.

Like all cities in South America, Catholic churches are dominant structures. This is a small part of the beautiful "Catedral Metropolitana."

The Mercado Adolpho Lisboa (fish market) is a busy and smelly place. Fish of all description (some unidentifiable by me) are quickly sold to locals, as well as to grocery stores and restaurants. Based on the current conversion rate, for $10, I could've had my fill of fish.



Here's another example of a classic 19th century Catholic church in Manaus. And speaking of smelly, a wide variety of raw meat is commonly hung along the street, or in open markets across South America. At first (early morning) it seems to work, but trust me when I say that the mid-afternoon experience (at least for me) was a hold-your-nose event.



These colonial buildings near the city's exciting waterfront are long abandoned. To me, they look like false-front buildings used on Hollywood movie sets.

On a side street near the opera house in Manaus, I noticed this second story restaurant dripping in ambiance and I couldn't help but take a picture.

Inaugurated on December 31, 1896, Teatro Amazonas (a Renaissance-style opera house) is a real treasure. Its cupola (above) was created using 36,000 ceramic tiles from the Alsace region of France, and you can see this glittering dome from many parts of the city.



While photographing the roots of this unusual tree in the city center, I hadn't noticed the two lovers on the bench to the left of the tree.

Gracing the city's waterfront, this is the world's (only) prefabricated Customs House. Built in 1902, its stones were fashioned near London, England then assembled in Manaus. Up close, behind all of the poles and electrical wires, it's a beautiful structure.

This fountain caught my eye because of the marvelous sculptures at its base.

Gulf of Bothnia The Gulf of Bothnia is the northernmost extension of the Baltic Sea. Positioned in Northern Europe, it's bordered by Sweden (a part of the Scandinavian Peninsula) and Finland. Finland's Aland Islands (literally thousands of them), bordered by the Archipelago Sea and the Sea of Aland, stand at the southern edge of the Gulf of Bothnia. Estimating the size of the Gulf of Bothnia is based on where its waters actually end, so all known measurements are estimates, at best. Wikipedia references a surface area of 117,000 sq km, while Baltic Resources uses 116,165 sq km. Average depth runs near 60 meters (200 ft), while the maximum depth is measured at 295 meters (965 ft). Numerous rivers drain into the gulf from both Finland and Sweden. Most of the northern areas freeze solid in winter, as its waters have less salinity than the southern reaches of the Baltic Sea. Nasa photo of the winter ice here!

ECUADOR


PRINT THIS MAP

A Brief Description Before the great Inca empire began its conquest of this land called Ecuador in 1463, it was populated by a number of indigenous Indian tribes that were often at war with one another. In the early 16th century the Spanish discovered and subsequently conquered Ecuador. Over the next two centuries Spanish Colonial rule in this New World spread. Sadly, the Spanish unintentionally brought with them smallpox and measles, diseases that, over time, all but wiped out much of the indigenous Indian population. After suffering a severe depression throughout most of the eighteenth century, and with Ecuador's cities gradually falling into ruins, the thoughts of independence were in the wind. That struggle for freedom was bloody, difficult and very long, but independence was finally achieved in 1830, and over the next 140 years a series of military and political groups ruled the land. Between 1904 and 1942, Ecuador lost territories in a series of conflicts with its neighbors. A border war with Peru that flared in 1995 was resolved in 1999. Although Ecuador marked 25 years of civilian governance in 2004, the period has been marred by political instability, as seven presidents have governed Ecuador since 1996. Quito, the capital, is the political center, while Guayaquil is the commercial hub. The world-famous Galapagos Islands (a territory of Ecuador) are positioned about 600 miles to its west. The indigenous populations mixed with those of European descent give Ecuador a unique cultural texture. It's a very friendly country, known for warm, welcoming hospitality.

The Andes includes over 20 peaks at least 13,779 ft. (4,200 m) in height with most located in the Cordillera Occidental. In addition, there are over 30 peaks that are volcanic in nature, including many active ones. Most rivers in Ecuador rise in the upper elevations of the Andes, flowing east toward the Amazon River, or west into the Pacific Ocean. The most significant include the Babahoyo, Chira, Coca, Curaray, Daule, Esmeraldas, Guayas, Napo, Paztaza, and the Putumayo, on its northeastern border with Colombia.

Climate Ecuador has a tropical climate along its coastal areas, then becomes much cooler inland, especially in the higher elevations of the Andes. The jungle-covered plains of the eastern lowlands are hot and very damp throughout the year, with copious amounts of rain. The most significant climate variations occur in the Andes, where in general terms, mornings are cold and afternoons warm. The lower levels of the mountains are tropical and experience heavy precipitation. Somewhat typical of any mountainous country, the higher the altitude, the lower the temperatures fall, and rainfall decreases. In the upper elevations here, the Andes are snow-capped, and temperatures are very cold. Quito is over (9,200 ft.) in elevation; its highest temperatures are in August and September, where daily highs approach 72° F. The balance of the year high temperatures are generally in the low 60s. The months of June and July are the coldest, with highs in the 40s.

Attractions: Ecuador is one of the smallest countries in South America, but it surely has some of the continent's most spectacular points-of-interest. Leading the list is Quito, described by many travelers as the most beautiful city in South America. With its elevation and location near the Equator, its climate is considered a "permanent spring." Additional attractions include several archaeological sites; a stunning selection of national parks, including Cotopaxi's (Avenue of the Volcanoes,) Podocarpus, Sangay and Yasumi; rainforest expeditions, the cities of Ambato and Otavalo; the natural springs at Banos, and of course, the Galapagos Islands. All visitors to Ecuador are advised against travel to its northern border, including the provinces of Sucumbios, Orellana and Carchi and northern Esmeraldas Province. Here, the spread of organized crime, drug trafficking, small arms trafficking, and incursions by various Colombian terrorist organizations remain on-going problems.

Colombia gained its independence from Spain in 1821, Panama became a province of that new country. With US backing, Panama seceded from Colombia in 1903, and promptly signed a treaty with the US allowing for the construction of a canal and the US sovereignty over a strip of land on either side, to be called the Panama Canal Zone. Ignoring the tragic attempt by the French to build the canal in the late 19th century, the US Army Corps of Engineers successfully constructed it between 1904 and 1914, a feat that

AMAZON BASIN In short, the Amazon Basin (Amazonia) is covered by the largest tropical rain forest in the world, and running through its heart is the Amazon River, and its more than 1,000 tributaries, seven of them more than 1,000 miles in length. Measurable rain falls on an average of 200 days a year, and total rainfall often approaches 100 inches per year.

The overall basin drains over 2,700,000 sq. miles, and covers about one-third of the South American landmass. Rising high in the Andes, the river's network irrigates almost half of the continent, and in terms of volume of water discharged into an ocean... it's the largest in the world. ANDES This toothy-edged, massive mountain system extends from the tip of South America all the way to Panama. It's the source of most major rivers on the continent and is 4,500 miles (7,240 km) in length. It's home to some of the planet's largest volcanoes, and in the far south along the coast of Chile, large ice sheets are commonplace. The Andes and its many ranges include dozens of peaks that reach over 20,000 ft., with the highest point being Aconcagua in Argentina, at 22,384 ft. (6,960m). ATACAMA DESERT Sparsely populated and running high into the Andes of Chile, this somewhat small desert (or plateau) is a cold place and rainfall is very rare. It's approximately 100 miles wide and 625 miles long. The landscape is totally barren and covered with small borax lakes, lava flow remnants and saline deposits.

GUIANA HIGHLANDS A geographically stunning part of Planet Earth, over 1,000 miles in length, the Highlands stretch from southern Venezuela across the northern edge of South America to the tip of Brazil. It consists of a vast plateau, one marked by deep gorges, tropical rain forests, numerous rivers and waterfalls. It's famed for the highest waterfall in the world (Angel Falls) at 3,212 ft (979m) high. The highest point is Mt. Roraima on the borders of Brazil, Guyana and Venezuela at 9,219 ft (2,810m).


PATAGONIA Located between the Andes and the Atlantic Ocean, and about 1,000 miles in length, Patagonia stretches south from the Rio Negro River in southern Argentina to Tierra del Fuego and the Strait of Magellan.

A Brief Description

PRINT THIS MAP

Traveler Info Attractions: A broad and colorful palette of attractions and points-of-interest cover Argentina north to south. In general terms, glaciers, mountain lakes, the jagged Andes and over 250 waterfalls are the signature topography most visited by travelers, but there's so much more to see and do. For starters, a must stop is Buenos Aires, famed for shopping bargains, unique monuments and art museums, and of course, tango dance clubs, and some of the most exciting night life on the planet; a soccer match, any match, as Buenos Aires alone has 17 stadiums; Iguaza Falls and the surrounding jungle; the wine region of Mendoza; the nearby snow-capped Cerro Aconcagua, the continent's highest mountain; Salta City and the well-preserved colonial architecture; Mar Del Plata, the beautiful and popular vacation retreat on the Atlantic coastline, and then there's Patagonia...

Argentina was populated by scattered groups of Indians when the Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci arrived in 1502; he was followed in 1516 by Juan Díaz de Solís of Spain; he was quickly killed by Indians and his expedition failed. Over the next few decades the Spanish continued their quest to build settlements here, but most were temporary and quickly abandoned, as the indigenous Indians continued to fiercely resist the presence of Europeans. Spain was persistent, and eventually prevailed, as a permanent settlement was finally established near present-day Buenos Aires in 1580. 200 years later the Spanish combined their influences in Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay into the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata. It was a shaky coalition at best, and collapsed outright when Napoleon successfully invaded Spain and overthrew the Spanish monarchy. During this short-lived era, Buenos Aires was transformed into a flourishing port and commercial center as exports of regional products (especially cattle) brought huge revenues into the city. In 1816, local upstarts proclaimed their immediate independence from the remnants of the Spanish Crown; royalists vigorously objected, and it took civil war to defeat them. At the end of that war, anarchy prevailed, and when General Juan Manuel de Rosas was elected governor of the Buenos Aires Province in 1829, some level of peaceful coexistence returned as he combined all of the regional factions and provinces into one The Argentine Confederation. Rosas was overthrown in 1852 by revolutionists, and for many years to come Argentina would experience border disputes, hostile invasions and regional wars. Near the end of the 19th century civilian rule brought some levels of peace, and Europeans (by the millions) mostly Spaniards and Italians, emigrated to this (land of promise) and as the 20th century began, a new Argentina emerged as one of the leading nations of South America. Then, the guaranteed-to-fail military coup concept returned to Argentina; and all would collapse over time, including the rule of Juan Peron, and his powerful wife Eva (Evita). The last traces of military leadership faded away after Argentina's defeat at the hands of the British, during the Falkland Island's War. Since democracy returned in 1983, this country (like most countries) has survived its share of economic, political and social problems, and today in Argentina, democracy is alive and well.

Landforms The geography of Argentina include 5 major regions, starting with the rain forest areas of the far-northeast along its border with Brazil; the swampy and flat Chaco plain; the fertile (almost treeless) grasslands of the central Pampas; the lengthy plateau of Patagonia that stretches to Tierra del Fuego, and the Andes Mountains along its western border with Chile. The Pampas, one of the largest fertile plains in the world, covers almost one third of Argentina's land area. Bordered by mountains and the Atlantic Ocean, the legendary landscape of Patagonia displays huge forests, sizeable mountains valleys, and many coldwater lakes. The Andes in Argentina contain advancing glaciers (in the south), and many toothy-edged peaks, as well as Cerro Aconcagua, the tallest mountain in South America. Argentina is also home to impressive Iguazu Falls, and over 250 additional waterfalls of size. Major rivers include the Colorado, Negro, Paraguay, Parana, Salado and Uruguay. The Uruguay and Parana flow together before meeting the Atlantic Ocean, forming the basin of the Río de la Plata. Highest Pt. Cerro Aconcagua - 22,835 ft. (6,960 m) Lowest Pt. Laguna del Carbo, just to the north of Puerto Santa Cruz - 344 ft. (105 m)


Climate Argentina's enormous size dictates an incredible variety of climates, which makes it difficult to summarize. So, we offer a general description, and then refer you to the individual conditions and forecasts shown below. In the northeast, tropical and steamy is the daily forecast on its border with Brazil; the northern Chaco plain areas are usually hot and dry in the summer, and moderately cold and dry in the winter; the capital city of Buenos Aires and the central coastal regions are warm and humid (often hot) in summer; then cool in winter. The central Pampas is generally moderate throughout the year, with dry winters, hot summers and desert-like conditions in the far west. The massive Patagonia region's weather ranges from subtropical (mild) conditions in the north, to sub arctic status in the far south. The higher elevations of the Andes are very cold, with frequent snow in the southern peaks. Note that seasons in Argentina are just the opposite of those in the northern hemisphere. As an example, the summer months are (December - February) and daily highs in Buenos Aires reach the mid 80s.

BOLIVIA


PRINT THIS MAP

A Brief Description The ancient history of Bolivia is first and foremost woven into the great Andean empires of the Aymara civilization. This innovative and powerful culture was eventually conquered by the Incas at the end of the 15th century. In their obsessive search for gold and silver, the Spanish arrived here in the 16th century; they quickly defeated the Incas, and changed the economic and social fabric of Bolivia forever. During its 300 years of colonial rule, Spain continually searched for precious metals, and in the process forced Indian labor to do the work. The silver mines they discovered at Potosi proved to be the largest ever in the western hemisphere. In 1809, the "Liberator", Simon Bolivar, (Bolivia's namesake) began the battle for independence. After the Spanish defeat in 1824, Bolivia finally gained its hard-fought freedom in 1825. Typical of a new, upstart country, political instability, coups, countercoups and rewritten constitutions were commonplace, as numerous leaders tried to reform the country. In the late 1800s, civilian governments came into power, and for almost fifty years Bolivia enjoyed relative political stability; its economy improved for all but the indigenous Indians. Then, after losing a regional war with Paraguay in 1935, in which it lost much of its original territories, military control returned and a long series of military governments controlled the country till 1982, when the country again returned to a democratically elected form of government. Today, though reform is in the air, it remains one of the poorest and least developed countries in South America, and dependent on foreign aid. On the real positive side, this marvelous land of natural beauty has vast quantities of untapped gas, gold, oil and silver deposits, as well as a large palette of colorful attractions for all travelers.

Relative Location The landlocked country of Bolivia is positioned in the southern and western hemispheres. It's located in west-central South America, and bordered by Peru, Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina and Chile.

Land Statistics Coastline 0 miles (0 km) (landlocked) Land Areas (land) 418,685 sq miles (1,084,390 sq km) (water) 5,479 sq miles (14,190 sq km) (TOTAL) 424,164 sq miles (1,098,580 sq km) Land Area (all countries) here Landforms Bolivia's western half is covered by the Andes, as three meandering high mountain chains dominate the landscape. The Cordillera Occidental (in the west) is a long line of mostly bleak, dormant volcanoes; the Cordillera Central stands in the middle, while the (eastern) Cordillera Oriental is a massive snowcapped series of stunning granite mountains. The Altiplano (a high plateau) is sandwiched between the cordilleras. Once just deep valleys (or rifts) between the three mountain ranges, over eons of time it filled with sedimentary debris washed down from the surrounding peaks. The eastern slopes of the Cordillera Oriental descend gently into rolling hills; numerous rivers flow eastward here, forming long narrow valleys. Northeast of La Paz, the landscape descends into fertile semitropical valleys, drained by narrow rivers. The southeast is covered by semi-arid plains that turn swampy during heavy rains. Bolivia's Altiplano contains several salt flats, the dried remnants of ancient lakes; Uyuni Saltpan is the largest one, covering almost 3,500 sq miles. Deep and cold, Lake Titicaca, 3,810 meters above sea level, is the highest navigable body of water in the world; salty Lake Poopo is the largest inland lake, varying greatly in size based on rainfall. Most of Bolivia's significant rivers (or rios) are located central and north. Countrywide, important ones included the Beni, Desaquadero, Guapore, Madre de Dios and Mamore.

Climate In general terms the tropical eastern lowlands are warm (often hot), humid and rainy. The Andes are quite temperate in the lower foothills and sheltered valleys, but temperatures decrease by increased altitude, reaching Arcticlike levels in the higher elevations. The elevated plateaus that ring the mountains (Altiplano) are ravaged by strong, cold winds, and an arid, overall chilly climate throughout most of the year. High and low temperatures in Bolivia depend primarily on elevation and have very little seasonal variation. Overall, rainfall is heaviest in the summer months, with the southern areas of the country receiving the least amounts of precipitation. La Paz, located high in the Andes, has different weather conditions depending on one's altitude within the city. Regardless, and overall, the average winter high temperatures reach the high 50s, while in summer, daily highs are in the low 70s. Afternoon rainfall is common in summer, and clear, sunny skies are winter staples.

BRAZIL


PRINT THIS MAP

A Brief Description Native American peoples (by the millions) occupied this region of South America for eons. Then in 1500, the Portuguese navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral's fleet, en route to India, landed along the northeastern coastline (near Recife), and he quickly claimed this land for Portugal - and the 300-year Portuguese era in Brazil began. Over the next few decades more adventurers, explorers and treasure-seekers arrived; small settlements were established along the coastal areas, and when Portugal took control in 1580, it was now becoming a lucrative new land based on the growing profits of (slave labor) sugar plantations. In the late 16th century, the Portuguese crown and colonies were inherited by Spain. After 60 years of contentious Spanish rule, and a small prosperous area of sugar businesses controlled by the Dutch, this now very valuable land was completely reverted to Portuguese sovereignty. In the early 1800s, Napoleon's aggressive push across Portugal and Spain, caused (forced) Portugal's King to flee to Brazil. When he arrived, King Dom Joao VI established this huge slice of South America as the capital of his new (somewhat mobile) empire. In 1821, he returned to Portugal, leaving his son Pedro I in charge, but when King Dom Joao attempted (once again) to treat Brazil as his own personal, taxable colony, his son said "No," declared immediate independence from Portugal, and was appointed the new emperor of Brazil. Soon coffee replaced sugar as the country's most valuable export, and the strong aromatic scent of Brazil's official drink, and the seductive lure of new lands and fresh starts brought a surge of immigrants from Europe mostly Italian. Beginning in the early 1890s, the prosperous coffee businesses (seeking change) funded a military coup that forced the emperor to flee. In short, the coffee powers were now in charge, and the country would soon experience a half-century of instability. In 1985, the ruling regime in Brazil ceded its power to civilian rule, and the country finally overcame a series of unpopular coups, corrupt leaders, and the military's constant intervention in the governance of this massive country. Today Brazil is justifiably famous for the Amazon River; Carnival in Rio; the beaches of Copacabana and Ipanema; its many champion soccer teams, and of course, for the amazing collection of organized diversity that makes it one of the most significant and important countries on the face of the planet.

Landforms Brazil is divided into five primary geographic areas: the northern Guiana Highlands; Brazilian Highlands (or plateau) central and east; the massive Amazon River Basin; Pantanal wetland areas of the southwest, and the Southern Highlands - to the west and south of Curitiba. The Brazilian Highlands are covered by low mountain ranges and forested river valleys. From Rio de Janeiro north to Fortaleza, a series of higher mountain ranges form a natural barrier between the Atlantic Ocean and the country's interior. The Pantanal is the world’s largest freshwater wetland, a seasonally flooded plain fed by the tributaries of many rivers. For size comparison, it's almost 10 times the size of the Florida Everglades. The Amazon is the world's largest tropical rain forest. It's drained by the huge Amazon River, and more than 200 of its tributaries - with more than a dozen of those tributaries being on (The Longest Rivers of the World) list. The Sao Francisco is the longest river completely within Brazil's borders. The Guiana Highlands, a relatively flat-topped mountainous area covered by rain forest, stretches across much of northern South America. It's home to many of the planet's most spectacular waterfalls, and Brazil's highest point. Highest Pt. Pico da Neblina - 9,888 ft. (3,014 m) Lowest Pt. Atlantic Ocean - 0 ft. (0 m)

A Brief Description

PRINT THIS MAP

Traveler Info Attractions: Chile is quite simply a land of incomparable scenery, and worldwide travelers frequently rave about their individual journeys into its unparelled landscapes and fascinating history. For starters, Chile has more than its share of beaches, coves and inlets for exploring and swimming; numerous skiing, scuba diving and surfing venues, and some of the planet's most spectacular deep-sea fishing. In addition, Chile's yearly calendar is crammed with cultural events and colorful festivals. In the north, major attractions include the Spanish colonial architecture and history of Arica, Antofagasta and Coquimbo; topography of the Altiplano (plateau), the home of high-altitude alpacas, llamas and the ancestral heritage of the Aymara Indians; the lunar-

Ferdinand Magellan was the first European explorer to visit Chile, setting foot here on October 21, 1520. In the late 15th century, the Incas extended their empire south, attempting to conquer Chile; they were successful in the north, but their influence (central and south) was limited as they faced fierce resistance from the indigenous Araucanian peoples. In 1540, the Spanish explorer, Pedro de Valdivia arrived, and later founded the capital city of Santiago in 1541. He managed to control the local Indians, forcing them into hard labor, but in the south, the Araucanians would not budge. Numerous Spanish settlements were built in central Chile, and their population base eventually exceeded one million. Those initial settlers suffered repeated attacks (often brutal) by Araucanians, and that remained a serious (hard to control) problem into the 19th century. The colonies secretly detested Spain's military rule, but remained loyal to the Spanish crown for nearly three centuries. When the King of Spain was overthrown at the beginning of the 19th century, Chileans began to consider independence and self-government. And speaking of freedom, Jose de San Martin, and Bernardo O'Higgins, and their up-start armies drove out the Spanish and achieved their independence from Spain in 1818. Bernardo O'Higgins would later become Chile's first president. Chile defeated Bolivia and Peru in a regional war (1879-1883) for the control of the Atacama Desert areas. During that war Chile gained more land to the north and Bolivia lost its outlet to the open sea; proving disastrous (even today) for its economy. Beginning in 1891, and over the next 80 years, Chile was governed by self-serving parliamentary regimes, military rule, left-wing, right-wing parties (including Communists) and a long line of democratically elected presidents. All remnants of democracy were tossed aside when the repressive military dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet began in 1973; finally ending in 1989, when democratic elections were held again Today, this underdeveloped country with an overdeveloped landscape is primed for the 21st century, as it controls a great portion of the planet's most spectacular scenery, as well as untold natural resources and riches.

Landforms With a toothy coastline of almost 4,000 miles, pencil-thin Chile is wedged between the Pacific Ocean and the rugged Andes, the world's longest mountain range. This land of incredible and unusual contrasts is also home to the numerous beaches, fjords, deep sea channels, glaciers and icebergs - and the Atacama Desert - a virtually rainless plateau made up of salt basins and lava flows. Most of the country's interior is covered by mountains. The snowcapped Andes cover almost all of its eastern border; generally lower, non-Andean ranges dissect Chile (north to south) with the largest being the Cordillera de la Costa in the far south. Located along the Ring of Fire, the Andes are geologically a young mountain range that includes over 600 volcanoes (within Chile alone), many of them active, and almost 10% have erupted (at least once) within the last century. Throughout the country deep valleys and high plateaus front these mountains, most winding east to west; the central valley (or Pampas) runs to the Pacific Ocean shoreline. The Lake Region of the south, is a group of mostly small, clear blue, cold-water lakes; in this area, waterfalls are common. In the far south, an almost uncountable group of mountainous islands (forming varied archipelagos) front the coastline, forming a series of winding channels and fjords. Cape Horn, directly south of the island of Tierra del Fuego, is the southern-most point in the world, next to Antarctica. Mixed into the stunning landscape are the Northern and Southern Patagonian Ice Fields that form the largest continental mass of ice in the world, outside of Greenland and Antarctica. Hundreds of glaciers branch off the ice fields, many extend all the way to sea level. Meltwater from the glaciers gather in lakes such as the General Carrera - the second largest lake in South America. And as for rivers....dozens rise in the upper reaches of the Andes, and flow either to the Pacific Ocean, or east through neighboring Argentina.

Traveler Info Attractions The U.S. Department of State and other western governments warns their citizens of the dangers of travel to Colombia. Violence by narcoterrorist groups and other criminal elements continues to affect all parts of the country, urban and rural, including border areas. Citizens of the United States and other countries continue to be victims of threats, kidnappings, and other criminal acts. On the positive side, violence in recent years has decreased markedly in most urban areas, including Bogotá, Medellin, Barranquilla, and Cartagena, however, the level violence in Cali and its surrounding areas remains high, largely as a result of the illicit drug trade. Many rural portions of Colombia also remain extremely dangerous due to the presence of narcoterrorists and Colombian government operations against them. That aside, from its tropical coastlines to the mountain vistas, Colombia is one of the most stunningly beautiful countries on the planet. Major points-of-interest include its Caribbean coastline, one replete with white sand beaches and historic Spanish cities, such as Cartagena and Santa Marta; tours of the Amazon Basin region in the east; the colonial buildings and history at Popayan, and many eco-tour options and interesting national parks.
