Utah, USA
Utah is a state that not only has incredibly beautiful dramatic landscapes, but also has a history of being known as "Little Hollywood". This state, located in the southwest of the country, has served as the backdrop for many classic films, including such masterpieces as Thelma and Louis, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, and High School Musical. Two silent westerns were filmed here in 1923 and 1924: "Deadwood Carriage House" and "Covered Car", which determined the development of Hollywood history.
On the occasion of the centennial of this unique phenomenon of "Little Hollywood", exhibitions, events and film screenings are planned throughout the year. They will take each participant back to the time when sandstone cliffs served as a backdrop for the creation of unsurpassed cinematic masterpieces.
The capital of Utah, Salt Lake City, is an incredible place surrounded by natural beauty. Located near the Great Salt Lake, the city retains a magical harmony between rocky ridges and desert snails. Inhabited mainly by Mormons, the city is famous for its churches, temples and museums that reflect the faith and traditions of the local population. Skiing and climbing enthusiasts will also find their paradise here, as the distance to the slopes takes only half an hour.
Northern Utah is famous for its unsurpassed beauty and striking landscapes. Five national parks, such as Arches, Zion, Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef, located in this region, offer unrivaled views of nature. Huge concentrations of natural stone arches in Arches Park and majestic monoliths of red, pink, and cream in Zion Park make this region especially fascinating for those who love natural wonders. The canyons, giant domes and sandstones in Bryce Canyon and Capitol Reef parks leave an unforgettable impression.
So visit Utah - a place where the history of Hollywood is intertwined with natural beauty, giving unpredictable impressions and unforgettable moments.
Aberdeenshire, Scotland
Scotland undoubtedly impresses with its romance and picturesqueness, making it one of the most attractive areas within the United Kingdom of Great Britain. Although located in the north and not boasting golden beaches or warm seas, this country attracts tourists with its unique beauty and impressive history.
A trip to Scotland usually begins with a visit to its capital, Edinburgh. This city impresses with its historical atmosphere, where skyscrapers and modern shopping centers are harmoniously intertwined with the fabric of the past. Walking through the streets, you can enjoy the beauty of restored historic buildings, meet street performers and be amazed at the wealth of souvenir shops. However, this is only the beginning of the Scottish adventure.
The Aberdeenshire region is famous for its castles, the number of which exceeds any other region of Scotland - 263 unique castles. Next year, after extensive renovations, it will be marked by the reopening of two significant monuments: Bramar Castle in the Cairngorms National Park and Craigievar, which inspired the creation of the Disney castle. The region is also impressing with new restaurants, including the Fish Shop in Ballater and Kevin Dalglish's Amuse, which is fast gaining fame and may soon receive a Michelin star. We invite you to discover the fascinating world of Scotland, where every corner is filled with history and adventure.
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka, having recovered from last year's political turmoil, is getting back on its feet and is once again becoming an attractive destination on the world map. The current situation in the economy has made vacation prices moderate, opening the door to tourist adventures.
Ceylon, cultivating its unique atmosphere, has always attracted travelers with its mystery and colorfulness. The island, filled with age and wisdom, but at the same time carrying the energy and youthful spirit of untouched nature, offers travelers endless opportunities for recreation.
Sri Lanka combines cultural riches and natural wonders, creating a unique mix for travel. The tour program includes not only sightseeing tours of palaces and temples, but also extreme adventures for those looking for adrenaline and outdoor activities.
For surfers, we suggest visiting Veligama, where the waves are frequent and small on the coast of this village, making it an ideal place for beginners. Climbing Sri Pada (Adam's Peak) will be a real excursion and extreme vacation at the same time, giving you an incredible sunrise and impressions of the conquered peak. A boat trip will allow you to watch whales and dolphins frolicking off the coast.
Sri Lanka also invites you to a beach vacation, where you can recuperate while lying on sun loungers and savoring fresh juices. Local cuisine in Bentota's cafes or Colombo's nightlife will be a great addition to your active schedule.
Excursions to historical sites reveal the greatness and wealth of Sri Lanka. A visit to the ancient Sinhala capital of Anuradhapura, an excursion to Sigiriya - a mountain fortress with a panorama of the jungle and ancient frescoes, a trip to the abandoned Mihintala temple - all these places will immerse you in the mysterious world of Ceylon. Galle, an ancient port with a granite fort, and the Royal Botanical Gardens in Kandy add to the palette of impressions.
At the end of 2023, we will celebrate the 200th anniversary of the arrival of tea in the country, as well as the opening of the new Peko Trail. This route runs through tea plantations, forests and rice paddies, revealing a lesser-visited part of the island. So 2024 promises to be a particularly busy and interesting year for traveling to Sri Lanka.
