An adventure holiday in Peru

Adventure Travel offer you exciting holidays – and they’re not expensive! Go on a wonderful two-week trip across Peru from Lake Titicaca to the Amazon rainforest. And if you book the holiday before 29th August, you can save £400!

Days 2–5

On the second day, we’re going to start our trip at beautiful Lake Titicaca. Then, early in the morning of the next day, we’re going to fly to the city of Cusco. It’s an old, historical city with many things to see. The Inca people lived there many years ago and built wonderful monuments. We’re going to spend three days in the region, visiting the market of Pisac, walking Inca paths to ancient buildings, and staying overnight in a village house. On our final day we’re going to ride mountain bikes along the valley to the Inca fortress of Ollantaytambo.

Days 6–9

On the sixth day, we’re going to start walking to Machu Picchu – it’s a famous, historical Inca city on top of a mountain. It takes four days to walk there on an ancient path that takes you past small ruins along the way to Inti Punku, the Sun Gate, and your first fantastic views of the beautiful city. We’re going to spend the last of the four days looking at the wonderful old temples and climbing Huayna Picchu.

Days 10–13

We’re going to spend the last four days of the trip on a visit to the Amazon rainforest. We’re going to stay in a comfortable hotel near the Tambopata River and have lots of time to walk in the rainforest.

Responsible Travel

We’re going to stay in village houses during the trip, so you can meet local people and give money to the village communities. Adventure Travel also gives £5 to charity for every person travelling on this trip.

Example: Day 1 c

1   Day 2            a  cycling to Ollantaytambo

A fantastic hotel

Last summer, my wife and I went to Las Vegas for a week. We stayed with our friends, Jimmy and Diane, for the first five days, but we stayed at a very special hotel on the Saturday and Sunday nights at the end of our holiday. We booked a suite at the Venetian Resort Hotel on the Las Vegas strip. The Venetian is modern, luxurious, and very big! There are 7,000 rooms and suites in the hotel, and in our suite there were three TVs – one in the bedroom, one in the living room, and one in the bathroom.

You can find everything at the Venetian. It’s a small town! There is a casino in the hotel and there are 17 restaurants. On our first night there we ate at the Bouchon restaurant. It was fantastic – but very expensive! We didn’t go to the casino on Saturday night because we didn’t have any money after we had dinner!

The hotel is really brilliant! There is a small lake near the entrance, and on the fourth floor there are three swimming pools and a spa. We didn’t go swimming but my wife loved the spa. On the second floor, there is a big shopping centre with canals and gondolas. We went on a gondola. I thought I was in Venice!

There are a lot of things to do at the Venetian. You can visit a Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum with statues of famous Hollywood actors. Or you can go to the fantastic nightclub or to one of the theatres. There are three of them! We weren’t interested in visiting the wax museum and we didn’t go dancing, but on Sunday evening we saw a great show at the Blue Man Theatre, and we went to an art exhibition at the hotel’s art gallery.

Example: They stayed in Las Vegas for seven days.

1   In a suite at the Venetian hotel, there are ________ TVs.

2   There are ________ restaurants in the hotel.

3   There is a spa on the ________ floor.

4   You can go on a gondola on the ________ floor.

A man on the moon

On the twenty-first of July 1969 American astronaut Neil Armstrong opened the door of the lunar module, the Eagle, and walked outside. He was on the moon. He was the first man in history to walk on the moon. It was a fantastic moment.

A few minutes later, Buzz Aldrin was the second man on the moon. Armstrong and Aldrin then took photos and made a film of their short time on the moon. They also collected information and spoke to the American president, Richard Nixon, on the phone. Nixon said it was a ‘historic phone call’. They placed an American flag there and left.

The twenty-first of July 1969 was a very important and exciting day. On earth, a lot of people listened to their radios all day because they wanted to hear the news about the men on the moon. And everybody in the world watched the news to see the first pictures of the men on the moon. Was it true? Was it real? People didn’t believe what they saw. And today, people over 50 can remember where they were when Armstrong walked on the moon.

In November 1969, the Americans went on a second trip to the moon and everybody watched. In the 1970s, astronauts went on five more trips. But after that, the American government decided that they didn’t want to spend millions and millions of dollars on trips to the moon. The last man on the moon was there in 1972.

A different life

Sara Huntingdon works for a children’s organisation in Africa. Every day, she writes her blog for an online news website.

Wednesday 25th

Every morning, I get up at six o’clock and go to the refugee camp. 1,000 families live there. They don’t have much food or water.

I sometimes work in the children’s centre. It is in a big, old house near the camp and it is open to small children. They are four, five, or six years old. When I open the door in the morning, it’s usually hot inside. I prepare lessons and games then I always have coffee and bread for breakfast.

When the children arrive at half past seven, they go into the house and meet their friends. They talk and relax and play games. They like games! Then we start school at quarter past eight. I teach English and art, and I sometimes teach maths. They can speak English well but they can’t write in English. I always answer the children’s questions. They usually want to hear about my life in England – and about my boyfriend! I cook some food and they eat it before they go home. Every day at the children’s centre is a fantastic experience for the children and for their teacher.

At half past eleven in the morning, the children go home. For four hours every day, the children don’t think about their problems. And that’s very important.

In business with mum and dad

Bob Wright and his wife Diane are from London but they live in Cardiff with their 24 year-old twin daughters Gina and Molly, and their 19-year-old son Jack.

Bob has four coffee shops in the cities of Cardiff and Swansea. People go to Bob’s coffee shops to drink coffee, tea, and hot chocolate, eat sandwiches, and read newspapers and magazines. He makes sandwiches, with cheese and salad but not with meat or chicken. His big sandwiches are very popular with students. Bob isn’t the only person in his family in the restaurant business. He has two business partners and they are his daughters!

‘Gina is an accountant, and she is good at numbers,’ says Bob. ‘She doesn’t work in the coffee shops. She works in the office. Molly is good with people. She goes to our coffee shops and speaks to our customers. My daughters work long hours. They start work at half past seven in the morning and they finish late at night.’

Bob’s son is a student and he doesn’t work in the family business. He studies medicine at Cardiff University and wants to be a doctor. His dad says, ‘My son Jack isn’t interested in the restaurant business, but he works here at weekends. He’s a waiter in one of our coffee shops.’
