    Maasai Village

    • Monduli, Tanzania
    • maasai-village
      Christina

    The Maasai are a semi-nomadic people who live in close harmony with nature, often sharing their surroundings with wild animals. On this tour, you’ll visit a traditional Maasai village (manyatta) and learn about their daily life, cattle herding, and sustainable practices. Experience the famous Maasai dances and songs, including the warrior’s “jumping dance” (Adumu), and see how their homes are built from natural materials like mud, sticks, and cow-dung. You’ll also get a chance to observe or try traditional crafts, such as beadwork or fire-making, and gain insight into their rich cultural heritage. This visit is not only educational and immersive but also supports the local community, as many tours contribute directly to village initiatives. Remember to respect local customs, ask before taking photos, and enjoy this authentic encounter with one of Africa’s most iconic cultures.

    A secret above Palma’s Cathedral

    • Palma, Spain

      Bruna

    Palma’s Cathedral is a true classic you just can’t miss, but here’s a little secret: in summer you can actually climb up to the terraces. From up there is simply breathtaking — you can see the sea, the whole city, and even peek at the Rosetón (the large circular stained-glass window on the main façade, also known as the “Gothic Eye”) from behind. Tickets can be purchased directly on the Cathedral’s official website: https://catedraldemallorca.org/en/visits/tours/

    Sunset at Pedra do Arpoador

    • Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

      Anne Gianes

    One of my favorite things to do in Rio is to take an afternoon stroll along the beautiful beaches of Ipanema and Arpoador. There’s nothing quite like sipping fresh coconut water while unwinding and watching the breathtaking sunset. It’s a cherished tradition among the locals, who celebrate the moment the sun dips behind the mountains with applause. I always take my non-local friends there, and they never regret it—they always thank me for sharing such a magical experience with them.

    If you want to enjoy the city and avoid traffic hassles, I recommend staying in a central area. Santiago isn\'t that big, but it\'s very beautiful. You can use Uber or taxis for transportation because you\'ll get anywhere quickly. You can also write to me, and I\'ll give you a guide to activities.

      Geryx

    En Algarrobo el clima puede cambiar bastante durante el día. Puede hacer calor al mediodía, pero en la tarde baja la temperatura y corre viento. Te recomiendo vestirte en capas: algo liviano para el día y una chaqueta o abrigo para más tarde.
