World Expedtions – Americas

World Expeditions are trekking and adventure travel holiday specialists. They ran their first trekking holiday in Nepal in 1975. Since then they’ve pioneered sustainable small group trekking and adventure travel holidays to every continent on earth.

Whether it’s the iconic trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in Peru, a voyage to the Galapagos, an expedition to Cerro Torre in Patagonia, or a tree-top walk through the Amazon – there’s an adventure for everyone in South America. Make a difference when you travel by joining one of their Community Projects. Their decades of experience mean there are specially designed itineraries for hearty adventurers, natural history buffs, gastronomy enthusiasts and wildlife lovers alike. Journey north and trade Incas for the Mayans whose Aztec ruins throughout Central America represent some of the world’s richest history and architecture.

North America offers unmatched deeply rich old growth rainforests, grassy meadows of fluorescent wildflowers, towering granite peaks and glaciers, as well as the occasional Grizzly Bear, Moose, Timber Wolf, Elk or Bald Eagle. Meanwhile, North America’s First Nations people cling deeply to folklore, customs, and a culture that existed long before skyscrapers and super highways.

Whether you opt to soak up the history and the vibrant atmosphere on a city break in one of the grand Imperial cities, or whether you prefer a laid-back beach holiday, or a stay in the beautiful natural surroundings of the High Atlas Mountains, you are sure to find one of their holidays in Morocco to suit you. If you simply can’t decide which is for you, then why not combine these exciting destinations in one of our unique tailormade holidays which offer you the best of all worlds?

The holidays, that have proved particularly popular with their guests, are two and three centre holidays, which make the most of Morocco’s beautiful and varied landscape. This year Anatolian Sky has included two exciting tailor-made holidays to allow you to explore the Moroccan desert with its fascinating Oasis towns and dramatic scenery. One of the new properties, which have been added in the High Atlas Mountains, is the Kasbah Angour, built in the style of Berber castle, which offers its own range of guided walks to explore the countryside and learn about the local Berber history and culture. Combine one or two nights in the desert with a stay in Marrakech and visit to the High Atlas mountains.

Polruan Cottages

Polruan Cottages is a select group of individually-owned homes, most of which overlook the beautiful Fowey harbour. They range from the small, one-bedroomed cottage for two people to the spacious property which will accommodate up to nine quite comfortably, each with its own essential character.

Polruan is an ancient nautical village on the south-eastern shore of Fowey Harbour – mid-way along the south Cornish coast between Falmouth and Plymouth. It is often spoken of as a ‘fishing village’, and indeed there are a few professional fisherman left, but an equally important role throughout its long history has been played, as it is still played today, by boatbuilding and other activities connected with the busy and beautiful harbour on which the community lies.

Today, Polruan is unsurpassed as a place for a peaceful self-catering holiday in Cornwall. For those who are after, first and foremost, somewhere to sail or otherwise ‘mess about in boats’, Fowey has become one of the West Country’s major sailing centres, with two active clubs (the Royal Fowey Yacht Club and the Fowey Gallants Sailing Club) and the Harbour Master, himself a keen small-boat sailor, is anxious to welcome yachtsmen and provide the facilities they need, at reasonable cost. There are good facilities too, for sea-fishing and other water-sports.

Whatever your needs, their aim is that you enjoy your holiday, and they will give any information and assistance they can. Many of their visitors return each year from far afield.

Situated a mere 4 kilometers from Bled and Lake Bled itself, with both an 18-hole and a 9-hole course to enjoy, Bled Golf and Country Club is a great choice for a golfing holiday.

The 18-hole Kings Course dates back to 1937, making Bled Golf and Country Club, Slovenia’s oldest golf course.
