Angel Falls
Hotels in Venezuela
Sixteen times higher than Niagara, Angel Falls (Salto Angel) has an unibterrupted drop of 979 m (3212 ft), and are the highest in the world. Their exotic reputation is enhanced both by their remote location in southeastern Venezuela, and by the myths they have attracted. The Falls plunge over the rim of the largest of the region's sandstone mesas (sheer-sided mountains of dense jungle), called Auyantepui (home of god or evil) by the Pemon Indians who refused to venture onto it; and it was the direct inspiration for Conan Doyle's Lost World of mystery, darkness and dinossaurs.
You might take two, or six or even ten days to reach Angel Falls by boat. Starting southeast of Auyantepui, you can explore the orchid and bird-filled jungle paradise skirting the mesa, spending an adventurous week aboard a motorized curiara (dugout canoe) and sleeping in a hammock. you pause to swim through canyons (kavac) and frolic underneath waterfalls tumbling out of tangled flowers and foliage high in the riverbanks (toma de agua).
Eventually, you thread your passage through mild rapids on the Akanan River to the Carrao River, where you will meet other canoe parties heading for Angel Falls. Some will have flown direct to Canaima, intending to visit the Falls in two days: they will miss the pink and orange-coloured river beaches, the the cascades glowing gold in the sunset, the insights into their river and rainforest world you glean from talking to your Pemon guides and the villagers at campsites - the richness of other world experience that makes the breathtaking first sight of Angel Falls a culmation instead of a tick on a list. Every visitor follows the Churun River to Devil's Canyon, and Ratoncito Island. A short hike is rewarded by one of the world's genuinely awesome natural wonders - and just then, it's a pleasure to share it.
WHEN TO GO
June to November, when the rainy season has raised the river levels.
TIME IT TAKES
2 days (minimum from Canaia, the tourist base and air strip 50 km (31.5 mi northwest of Angel Falls); more usually 6-10 days to include exploration by river of the Canaima National Park.
HIGHLIGHTS
The Churun river rapids, going through Devil's Canyon.
The spectacular foliage-festooned cliffs at sunrise and set, reflected against the multi-coloured sky in the river's soft ripples.
The irresistible moment, when your dugout canoe is alone on a jungle river, that you can dream of being Indiana Jones.
Talking to Pemon Indians about their traditions.
Walking behind, and diving out of, the beautiful waterfalls of El Sapo, on the return journey to Canaima.
YOU SHOULD KNOW
Close to Angel Falls, even a few canoes can make the river feel like a traffic jam. But by restricting visitors to the Falls to defined routes and camp-sites, the rules also help preserve the flora and fauna of Canaima National Park - and permits to explore the hinterland are readily available to anyone interested.
Carnic Peace Trail Via Alpina
Hotels in Lienz
The Via Alpina is a network of trails traversing the Alps all the way from Trieste on the Adriatic to Monaco on the Mediterranean. It was established in 2005 to create a single cohesive route out of the countless existing trans-Alpine paths. The main artery, known as the Red Trail, is some 2400 km (1500 mi) long, broken down into 161 manageable stages as itt weaves its way back and forth across the borders of all the Alpine countries.
The summit trail along ridge of the Carnic Alps in eastern Austria has been integrated into the Red Trail. It was the front-line between the Austrians and Italians in World War I and, in the 1970s the supply paths used by the troops were linked up and given the symbolic name of the "Carnic Peace Trail" in remembrance of the devastating loss of life here - as many soldiers died from freezing weather conditions as were killed by the enemy. Easily as beautiful as anywhere else in the Alps, the Carnic Peace Trail is one of the less touristy sections of the Via Alpina.
You enter a timeless country of traditional villages and flower-strewn pastures, make hair-raising 750m (2500 ft) ascents and scramble across the valleys, wash in sparkling mountain water and wake each morning in a different mountain hut but to the same inevitable tinkling of cowbells and chorus of moos. A hike through the Austrian Alps really is the perfect way of getting away from it all - walking through some of the world's most beautiful scenery, spending the night in the shelter of spartan but adequate mountain huts, and living on th staple alpine diet of cured ham and un-pasteurised cheese, you cannot fail to be satisfied.
HOW
On foot
WHEN TO GO
June to September

Bangkok Sky Train
Hotels in Bangkok
The Skytrain has changed the face of travel in Bangkok. It used to be a nightmare of a city where one could easily spend two hours travelling a distance of about 5 km (3 mi) because the weight of traffic was bringing the whole place to a grinding halt. All this changed on 5 December 1999, King Bhumibol's birthday, when the Skytrain opened. Approached by stairs and escalators, the ultra-modern elevated stations are airy, spacious, clean and safe. The platforms are marked to show where the carriage doors will open and, at rush hour, passengers queue up behind one another at these entry points, rather than filling the whole space. Inside there is plenty of sitting and standing room, and air-conditioning ensures a pleasant temperatures even when it is sweltering outside.
After a slow start, the Skytrain has really taken off, carrying passengers throughout the day, from 6.00 am to midnight. Apart from the miracle of being able to get around speedly, the train is fun to be on. Passengers get a fascinating, bird's eye view of the city. Not only is one amazed by the vast quantity of skyscrappers, a symphony of chrome, steel, glass and concrete but, in amongst the hyper-modernity are glimpses of ancient temples, their sweeping roofs glittering red and gold in the sunlight, housing stock that varies from villas with flower-decked gardens to slums whose grimy windows are cheek by jowl with the track, advertising hoardings, monuments, traffic circulating and Thais going about their business.
Several of the stations are linked to "skywalks", elevated walkways leading to nearby shopping malls and other amenities such as the National Stadium, the Chao Phraya River and the wonderful Chatuchak Weekend Market. The Skytrain, due to be extended, will eventually cross the river to Thonburi, and run out to Bangkok's new airport.
