			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.jbfchina2008.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Peyto-Lake-the-Most-Beautiful-Lake-in-Canada.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-855" src="http://www.jbfchina2008.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Peyto-Lake-the-Most-Beautiful-Lake-in-Canada-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="257" height="180" /></a>Peyto Lake is a glacial lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies. It is probably the most beautiful lake in Canada for environment and forests for its intense turquoise waters. People say that it is also one of the most beautiful lakes in the world.</p>
<p>It is during the summer when the area becomes more accessible and intensely colorful highlights every detail: the green of the forests surrounding the lake contrast with the turquoise water, caused by flowing water erodes rock, with particles that give a bright color on the surface of water. Not for nothing one of the most visited tourist destinations in Banff National Park, and one of the most photographed landscapes and landmarks from Canada.</p>
<p>Peyto Lake is extremely affordable, starting from Icefields Parkway (just like the ride of glaciers), a road trip in the state of Alberta, Canada, which communicates with the most stunning scenery of the Rocky Mountains. In the area there are numerous campsites enabled, basic services and a moderate price.</p>
<p>The lake can be seen arriving at a parking area from the road to a viewpoint on a wooden platform that enables the most photographed panoramic Peyto Lake. Some dare to find from above the shape of a blue bear in the shape of the lake. An interesting more for a unique landscape of this beautiful, seems too perfect.</p>

<p>If you visit Buenos Aires, tour the best grills in the city and roast beef, which I assure you, will not find better anywhere else in the world.</p>
<p><strong>The following 5 tips for everyone: </strong></p>
<p>1. El Mirasol. In its three branches can enjoy the best cuts. Visit the elegant premises of the Recova and Puerto Madero or, if you want a true experience of Buenos Aires, book your table in the lounge of Boedo, original branch of this classic Argentine.</p>
<p>2. La Cabrera. In the neighborhood of Palermo, two local draw tourists from around the world. It is notable for the many side dishes that accompany the meat.</p>
<p>3. Miranda. Also in the Palermo district, have a nice atmosphere and a younger crowd. Sausage, beef patties, the entrails and choco-cake-hungry are the classics instead.</p>
<p>4. The stable. This grid to the firewood was born in 1990 in an old recycled barn. You can visit their branches in the neighborhood of Palermo and Belgrano.</p>
<p>5. Follow the Cow. With a system of &#8220;all inclusive&#8221;, by paying a flat fee, you can eat until the cows. Their rooms are Puerto Madero and Costanera the most popular.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.jbfchina2008.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/alaska.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-481" src="http://www.jbfchina2008.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/alaska-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="237" height="178" /></a>Alaska is a land of adventurers and pioneers, if you&#8217;re looking for a taste of the typical American Adventures Here you will find as much of its territory is completely wild.</p>
<p>In this land of icy mixtures Indian tribes are the descendants old American who came to this area, mainly hunters.</p>
<p>There are several places not to be missed in Alaska as well as their forests because they are immense, not to be missed Anchorage, where we can see real cowboys taverns, Talkeetna, one of the sites where we can fly in Cessna aircraft. In Delani N.P. the safari is required to observe the bears and hiking.</p>
<p>The McCarthy Road, also known as the road end of the world, is another of those experiences that should live. The road was once a railroad track, whose beams have been erected and filled with gravel, the road goes from Chitina, the last city of the civilized world as it is known &#8230; and that is constituted by a pair of wooden houses to Kennicot.</p>
<p>Along this road for about 100 miles we can find the nails and the remains of the old roads that come to the surface during the thaw &#8230; so we have to carry several spare tires. In fact, over a journey of nearly six hours we will see that there are several abandoned cars on that ground, and were able to collect about 14 spikes about 15 cm. so the chances of puncturing are many. But the journey is worth it, because it is making a journey as in the past, with all its incidents, get into the beautiful Wrangell mountains, cross rivers and bridges to cross them, they&#8217;re scared to have to do with a car.</p>
<p>At the end we will find a camping area and parking. To visit the town of McCarthy must go on foot, near the mine Kennicot. McCarthy was mine for gold and now is open only for tourism. If we are going to spend a few days camping there is to know that the place does not have any services of any kind: no running water, no electricity, no restrooms, are camping in the open and live the closest to nature is. In the town of Mc Carthy if there is a small hotel adapted for the tourists and their needs, yes to the restrictions typical of the place we are visiting, for example &#8230; there are showers, but can only be used in the evening and each one should carry your own towel.</p>
<p>In the tavern you will find drinks and pizza, at exorbitant prices, but trapped in these latitudes, how can you expect?</p>
<p>The Kennicot ghost town and mine, is another unknown places outside the United States and not to be missed on a visit to Alaska. Do not forget that Alaska was the land of gold diggers. Today some of these mines are closed. Go into the Wrangell Mountains, we find Kennicot mine and ghost town with the same name &#8230; the past, the mountain which was full of copper is what gave rise to the birth of this town and the town of Mc Carthy as road we have mentioned before and which owes its fame to be the only route that connected the civilized world population and whose train was used for the transport of copper. The city was abandoned in 1938 when its people weary of isolation decided to leave the place and stopped working also with copper.<br />
Visit this ghost city is like a trip through time, half the buildings and houses are clear signs of decline, the other half is being restored slowly, the homes are allowed entry, not to the old mine since it is quite dangerous and to visit there to hire experienced guides.</p>
<p>This was the home of the miners working there today can still see the remains and debris from the copper mine, large rock pillars that should not be confused with other belonging to the nearby huge Glacial Root.</p>
<p>In Kenai, we can see whales, dolphins, sea lions and glaciers &#8230; in a boat trip or travel by airplane. The Kenai Peninsula is famous for its marine wildlife and glaciers that flow into the ocean, boats at a safe distance from the glaciers can afford to see a spectacular picture, and the fracture of some piece of the glacier, the sound of shock and the image of falling water becoming an iceberg, and the movement of this once it has detached is simply amazing, it&#8217;s one of the most popular places for this reason, nature lovers will enjoy a great time here.</p>
<p>In Seward&#8217;s strong point is the visit is Mount Marathon, and the ability to camp anywhere in the country of bears, or do routes up the mountain with the bike, all claims should be enough to visit this state.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-58" title="costa-rica-travel" src="http://www.jbfchina2008.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/costa-rica-travel.jpg" alt="costa-rica-travel" width="257" height="257" />For three years we have seen everyday citizen awareness and love of nature felt by Costa Rica. In no country in which my family and I have resided feel that the general public has developed so much and civic awareness. In Europe, the love of nature and its preservation is a bastion of environmental groups, leftist parties and little else. Large multinationals, mega hotel chains, etc are definitely doomed to make big business objectives in most cases purely economic matters a little battered wildlife and eco European system. It is enviable to see how Costa Rican children grow and learn in schools and homes to care for, protect and love nature, wildlife, flora definitely love their country.</p>
<p>Costa Rican society is proud to be a country with no army, security and great democratic tradition. Now the challenge now is to maintain that delicate balance between sustainability and urban development that has been undertaken in the last 2 decades, without a formal control by the state authorities that brought negative consequences as physical impact on the natural environment.</p>
<p>Costa Rica is a small country with a great soul and an invaluable wealth is its people. All foreigners who share their land, their desires, have a duty to integrate and follow his example for us to make a nation great and prosperous. We must be critical of anything that destroys our eco-system and not allow Costa Rica to become a mass destination with unscrupulous developers who cut down our trees and destroying our mountains, we must treat Mother Nature with the same love with which she welcomes us so that we can bequeath to future generations a better planet.</p>
