Get a Paraguay Tourist Visa To Check Out Asunción
November 13th, 2009
When it comes to tourism, Paraguay has long gotten a bad rap. The country is known as South America's "empty quarter." Writer PJ O'Rourke once observed that "Paraguay is nowhere and famous for nothing."
So, what does Paraguay have to offer tourists? As it turns out, lots. Even PJ O'Rourke ended up falling in love with the country during a brief press visit to cover the local elections.
A trip to Paraguay would not be complete without a visit to the country's capital. Paraguay's capital city is called "La Muy Noble y Leal Ciudad de Nuestra Señora Santa María de la Asunción," but you can call it "Asuncion" for short. Once a Spanish colonial hub, the city features attractive colonial architecture and plazas, plus a lovely botanical garden and a modern art museum.

Getting a Tajikistan Visa For An Outdoor Adventure
November 10th, 2009
You may never have heard of the tiny Asian country of Tajikistan, or perhaps heard of it only in passing. However, if outdoor adventures are your thing, you may be hearing a lot more about it in the future. A little over a decade after the country exited a brutal civil war, Tajikistan is finally being discovered by tourists.
According to this post on Gadling, Tajikistan's main attraction is its rugged, natural beauty. The backcountry is sparsely populated, so if you like solitude, Tajikistan might be the destination for you. There are also lots of opportunities to ride horses (or camels, if that's your thing) and to climb mountains.
However, if you want to travel to Tajikistan, you will need to apply for a Tajikistan visa first. If you don't have a visa, you will more than likely f
Visas for Mountain-Climbing in Cameroon
November 5th, 2009
Mt. Cameroon is the tallest mountain in West Africa. The still-active volcano soars 13,500 above sea level. Occasionally, it erupts. According to the Cameroon Consulate to Australia, the last major eruption happened in March of 1999. The volcano also erupted in 1982, interrupting the filming of the movie Greystoke: The Legend of Tarzan.
Tourists can climb Mt Cameroon with the help of guides and porters. To schedule a trip, you should contact the Mount Cameroon Ecotourism Organization office:

What's it like to climb Mount Cameroon? For a detailed description of a climb with some excellent pictures, check out Ann Bowker's description of her climb up the mountain a few years ago.
Stalk Bengal Tigers With a Bangladesh Visa
November 5th, 2009
"Tyger, tyger, burning bright
In the forests of the night..." William Blake
Bangladesh is a small country located on the border between India and Burma (Myanmar). The country is relatively poor and the population is dense, but it is still an interesting place to visit. The Sundarbans (the name means "beautiful forest) is one of the chief attractions.
The Sundarbans is a large mangrove forest. Bangladesh shares the Sunderbans with India, but the majority of the forest (6000 square kilometers out of 10,000) is on the Bangladeshi side of the border.
The forest is deep, dark and wet-1/3 of it is covered in water. The Ganges river dolphin swims in the fresh water, and other, less friendly creatures lurk on land. The Sundarbans is one of the last remaining strongholds of the Bengal
Swimming with Whale Sharks at Ko Tao- How to Get a Thailand Visa
November 3rd, 2009
The island of Ko Tao in Thailand is a scuba diver's paradise. Blessed with crystal-clear waters and surrounded by colorful coral reefs, Ko Tao has plenty of opportunities for beginner divers to stick their fins in, so to speak, and enough magic to wow even experienced divers.
Ko Tao is also one of the cheapest places in the world to get your open-water dive certification. If you want to stay dry, there are plenty of other activities available, ranging from rock climbing to just lounging on the beach. However, the real magic is in the water.
Diving at Ko Tao gives you the opportunity to encounter a variety of ocean creatures. Sea turtles, stingrays, fish and even the elusive whale shark all make their home off the cost of Ko Tao. The enormous but gentle whale shark is the prime at
