October 18 will be the International Day for the Nature, And in De Salas We want to celebrate it by traveling to three natural paradises that we can still see in an almost wild state. In these times where outdoor life has taken on a vital dimension, it seemed like a good time to get to know unique places that still, despite the hand of man, continue to be so.
Let's start in a big way, traveling to our antipodes, New Zealand. Because there we find the Waitomo Caves, an underground wonder that is well worth a foray into the earth, in true Jules Verne style. It is a rural region located in the north of New Zealand. The area is spectacular and of course a display of nature. But it is inside where we find the reason for the trip.
The Waitomo caves are natural excavations of calcareous rock that form grottoes that have as their greatest feature the existence of a glowing worm on the ceiling, which emits a bright, bluish light that actually serves to attract its prey, but without a doubt also in the eyes of humans, who nowhere else on the planet can contemplate a spectacle like this. And to stay, the delicious and flirtatious Waitomo Caves Hotel.
We are going to make the second stop in Peru, specifically in the so-called Mountain of Seven Colors, Rainbow Mountain or Mountain of Colors. Located at 5.200 meters above sea level, it is located in the Cusco region, on the way to the snowy Ausangate. His real name is Vinicunca, and although expensive, it is worth the climb to this wonder of the nature.
The mountain presents a series of stripes of various colors, due to the mineralogical composition present on its slopes and summits, which give it a fantasy-like appearance and has become one of the most spectacular and visited places in the world. To rest from the tiring day, it is best to spend the night at the hotel Old San Blas House, the best valued in all of Cusco.
And we end our trip in Africa, in the oldest desert in the world, the Namib, which dies in the Atlantic Ocean. And there, in Namibia, there is another enclave of nature unique in the world, the Skeleton Coast. The Portuguese knew him as Hell's doors, and the bushmen call him The earth that God created in anger.
It is a territory as hostile and desolate as it is beautiful, a third of the coast covers the national park of the Skeleton Coast which extends for about 500 kilometers along which the cold current of the Benguela River, together with strong winds and dense fog, pushes the waves to the dunes and has caused more than a thousand shipwrecks in the last five centuries. of ships, whose “skeletons” even appear in the desert sand itself. Of course, in return a multitude of animal species coexist. The experience will be complete if you stay in the super cabins luxury Shipwreck Lodge.
Three continents, three unique places that make us think that the planet and the nature They have time to save themselves and on the part of De Salas, to be able to invite our clients and friends to visit them. Have a good trip.
