An Indonesian Visa For a Holiday in Bali
October 24th, 2009
If you're already tired of cold and windy autumn weather, the island of Bali in Indonesia might be your dream vacation.
Bali is surrounded by crystal clear waters and colorful coral reefs, so it's perfect for snorkeling or scuba diving. In the warm waters off the coast of Bali, you could encounter a variety of different sea animals, including dolphins, sea turtles, tropical fish, manta rays, sharks and more.
The interior of the island is a hotbed of biodiversity, as well, with 280 species of birds, monkeys, deer, bats, felines such as the leopard cat, enormous monitor lizards, snakes and more.
Bali is also one of the sources of the most expensive coffee in the world, kopi luwak. This is not your average Starbucks coffee-kopi luwak is made from coffee beans that have been eaten
Get a Bolivian Visa to See Lake Titicaca
October 18th, 2009
Lake Titicaca is the largest lake in South America, as well as one of the region's prime tourist attractions. The lake, located on the border between Peru and Bolivia, has several unique characteristics that make it worth visiting. First, it is located high in the Andes Mountains, 12,500 ft above sea level. The blue of the lake contrasted with the white, snow-capped peaks of the mountains makes for stunning scenery indeed!
Second, the lake and the surrounding areas are home to native people with a unique and interesting culture. For example, some natives live on the lake on artificial islands made of reeds, called uros. The uros must be rebuilt constantly with fresh reeds to replace the reeds on the bottom as they decompose into the lake.
On the island on Amanti, you can stay f

October 15th, 2009
Want to take a walk on the wild side? Nigeria's Yankari National Park is your chance to see in person what most people only ever see in zoos or on the Discovery Channel- iconic African wildlife like lions, elephants, monkeys, antelope, hartebeest, African buffalo and hippopotamuses.
The Yankari is also a bird watcher's dream, with over 350 different types of birds, including storks, vultures and hornbills.
When you get tired of watching the animals, you can soak in the relaxing warm water of one of the park's hot springs, the largest of which is the Wikki spring.
According to Wikipedia, Yankari National Park has been a national park since 1991, and the area has been a protected game reserve since 1957. It is Nigeria's largest tourist attraction, with over 20,000 visitors in

October 14th, 2009
When you think of surfing, California is probably the first place to come to mind. However, the world is full of interesting and exciting destinations to catch a wave. One up-and-coming surf spot is the small Central American country of El Salvador, known for gorgeous beaches and perfect waves.
According to this post on the La Cocotera Resort's blog, surfers visit El Salvador for "ideal surfing conditions, unique wildlife, beautiful beaches and captivating culture."
If you are considering a surfing vacation in El Salvador, you will need a valid passport and the appropriate visa. If you are staying less than 30 days, you can get an El Salvador visa ahead of time or apply for a tourist card when you arrive at the El Salvadorean border. For longer stays, you should apply in advance
Getting an Indian Visa To See The Taj Mahal
October 6th, 2009
The Taj Mahal is one of India's most famous tourist attractions, and with good reason. It rivals the Egyptian pyramids for the title of the largest and most elaborate tomb ever built!
The story of the Taj Mahal is also a love story. The building was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan for his third and favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. According to Wikipedia, the Emperor renamed his wife "Mumtaz Mahal" after their marriage-the name means "jewel of the palace."
When she died giving birth to their 14th child, the emperor was inconsolable, and ordered the Taj Mahal built as a tomb. The immense white marble building with its familiar onion-shaped dome is unforgettable, and its grandeur assures that the love story of Shah Jahan and Mumtaz Mahal lives on even today.
