Machu Picchu ,Cusco Region of Peru

7,000 feet above sea level and nestled on a small hilltop between the Andean Mountain Range, the majestic city soars above the Urabamba Valley below. The Incan built structure has been deemed the “Lost Cities”, unknown until its relatively recent discovery in 1911. Archaeologists estimate that approximately 1200 people could have lived in the area, though many theorize it was most likely a retreat for Incan rulers. Due to it’s isolation from the rest of Peru, living in the area full time would require traveling great distances just to reach the nearest village.

Its wonderful location, set high on the rugged North Cornwall coast, offers dramatic views, and its fascinating ruins and stunning beach cafe make it a perfect day trip, ideal for those on holiday in Dorset, Cornwall or Dartmoor.

Guernsey - A Tourist Gem on The English Channel -Perfect for Spring -Summer Break


    Guernsey is a fantastic destination, less than an hour's flight from London, for weekend escapes as well as for longer relaxing holidays. There is a wonderful range of outdoor activities for people who don't get enough fresh air, and still the occasional tax-free bargain to be had from one of the many artisans still producing hand made goods here in Guernsey.
Don't forget that Guernsey is only 24 square miles, so everywhere is close to town, countryside and beach. You may wish to hire bikes, or a car for your stay. There are many cycle paths dotted around the island, but it's just as easy to use the bus and the occasional taxi to get around. You'll probably find you'll want to walk to most places when the weather is fine.

Capital


Saint Peter Port

Guernsey’s capital has been a busy entrepôt since Roman times. Her deep, safe anchorage and relative remoteness from France made Saint Peter Port the Channel Islands’ premier port, graced by a wealth of ship builders, privateers and merchant adventurers. Georgian and Regency styles were enriched by an influx of French emigrés, including Victor Hugo.
 Today the town is a captivating blend of styles, framed by a tumble of terraces and tiered gardens and criss-crossed by worn steps and hidden alleys.
Shopping in Saint Peter Port is an unmissable experience. Electronic and photographic equipment, jewellery and perfume are all good, low duty buys, along with wines, spirits and tobacco and of course the famous Guernsey jumper. Small boutiques offer exclusive clothes, shoes and leather goods, whilst the Old Quarter is the place to find antiques.
You can explore Saint Peter Port with a series of guided walks available, Walking Festivals in spring and autumn, or pick up a copy of our map of Saint Peter Port, with five trails taking you to different areas of the town.  
 If you prefer to relax, take time to just look around you, soak up the atmosphere, sit and have a coffee or snack, al fresco style, and watch the world go by. After all, this is the Channel Islands’ most beautiful town.

Saint Peter Port

Activities

With such spectacular coastline and countryside, the islands offer enough walking routes to last holiday after holiday. Qualified guides can help you uncover the islands’ secrets, or alternatively, just grab a map and head off yourself.

With an environment that’s as conducive to outdoor pursuits as ours, it’s not surprising that a range of sporting and other activities is available on the islands, including cycling, diving, angling and sailing. Guernsey’s west coast can also provide excellent surfing and windsurfing conditions. And nature lovers are in for a treat with plenty of bird watching opportunities on all of the islands.  However you decide to spend your time in the islands, one thing’s for sure – you’ll want to come back for more.
You can also get the good opportunity to learn and enjoy -:

Surfing
Cycling 


Flying , Language classes , Clay pigeon shooting , Climbing , archery ,Yachting and Sailing  etc

Bar One, Club 54, The Townhouse & Laska offer a more laid back, sophisticated night out, with funky house and progressive beats from live DJs, while Barbados & Folies have a younger more energetic crowd playing commercial dance.

The Dog House is the island's premier live music venue and offers excellent value food also.

The Red Onion is primarily a sports bar, but also has live DJs.

The Dog House 


    

Walking Guide

With 28.5 miles of spectacular cliff top paths, plus numerous bays, rural lanes and common, Guernsey offers walkers numerous opportunities to explore. Getting out and about on foot is arguably the best way to get a real feel for the island and will allow you to discover much of what makes us so special.

As you walk you’ll be able to see rare, semi-tropical species of plants growing wild, including aloes, Madeira geraniums and Kaffir figs. Alternatively, explore the streets of our capital, Saint Peter Port, and discover how the picturesque town became what it is today.

Accredited guides are available throughout the year for guided walks on most aspects of Island life and in Spring and Autumn there are Walking Festivals. These provide a great opportunity to learn more about the island, providing you with insights that you might otherwise miss.
Guernsey’s temperate climate and variety of habitat makes it an ideal place for many species of bird to nest or visit. There are RSPB walks throughout the spring and summer that will take you to the best places to observe them.
Book by Victor Hugo 


Information Centre :- Various walking literature is available from the Guernsey Information Centre, and so why not pay them a visit during your stay, which includes:

The Must Have Map of Guernsey:

With details of floral, environmental and heritage sites, as well as accredited places of interest and activity centres. Available to pick up during your holiday on Guernsey and is free of charge.
The Walking Map of Guernsey: with points of interest along the whole of Guernsey’s coast, as well as two suggested circular walks. Available to pick up during your holiday on Guernsey and is free of charge.

The Channel Island Way: The Way covers five of the Channel Islands: Guernsey, Alderney, Sark, Herm and Jersey.  Available to buy from The Guernsey Information Centre and other outlets £9.95

While it is easy to gather the Channel Islands under any number of umbrellas, this new 110 mile, island-hopping, walking route dispels the notion that any of the islands are similar to their neighbours. In fact, the further you walk, the more each island asserts its own charm and personality. From the timeless charm of Herm’s Shell Beach to Alderney’s heaving sea bird colony, and Sark with its tractor-drawn taxis, each of the five islands are very much individual.


Travelling between the Islands

There are regular transport links between all of the Islands.
Alderney: Regular flights and occasional ferry (in season) from Guernsey:
Sark: reached by a 45 minute ferry ride from Guernsey.
Herm: reached by a 20 minute ferry ride from Guernsey.

Buses : With a little planning it is possible to use the bus as your sole form of transport.  Buses cost just £1 per journey and all have disabled access. Bus timetables are available from the Guernsey Information Centre, the Bus Terminus and at:  www.icw.gg/buses/

Saint Peter Port


Taxi , Cars and Mini Buses :

The minimum legal age to hire a car is 20 years old.

Driving in Guernsey is a little different to what most visitors are used to. The roads are narrow, there are special rules, and not all the signs will be familiar to you. The maximum speed limit is 35mph and less in many areas. We recommend that you read the leaflet ‘Driving in Guernsey is different’ available to download below and from the Guernsey Information Centre. Drivers must be insured and have a full driving licence.

Moulin Huet Bay


Parking :-

Many of Guernsey’s public parking areas are designated as ‘disc parking’ zones where drivers must display a parking clock, available from the Visitor Information Centre, the Police Station and some garages/news agents. Details of how to use the clock are printed on the reverse. There are three dedicated small car-parking zones in St Peter Port. More details can be found below.

Motorcycles and bicycles :-

Motorcycles and bicycles are also available for hire and are an excellent way to see the island. If hiring a motorcycle, you must be 20 years of age or over and have held a full licence for more than one year in the category required.
