Exploring a new getaway that is both enjoyable and affordable is not an easy task, whether for individual or a group of 200. Looking for an exciting adventure is not at all easy amidst the economic hardships we are currently experiencing. Californians are luckier than any other Americans because there are more options for them when it comes to get-away adventures and nature exploration experiences. Because more options are available, thirty-six and a half million people live in California.
The South Fork of the American River is within a day’s drive from any of the borders of California, and it is there that you will find a wonderful 21-mile stretch of class III whitewater. Enormous amounts of gold were found there and it became the home of many families from the east. You can enjoy an exciting two or three days of great adventure, gourmet dining, and a wonderful evening campfire, and it doesn’t matter if you are a group of 200 or just one.
Trips may be inclusive 3-day 2-night sleepovers, where you can enjoy rafting in two different rivers and delicious meals, or a one-day trip where you can raft for just a few hours.
Comfortable shuttles will be provided, as well as all necessary equipment for your safety (personal floatation devices, helmets, paddles, rafts and guides) and an incredible deli style gourmet lunch. If you stay overnight, you can enjoy a world-class dinner in your camp that will be prepared by your guide. You can also expect evening fireside chats and tent-style camping under the clear skies of the Sierra Nevada Foothills. In the morning, you can enjoy a delightful breakfast prepared for you by your staff; this breakfast will include plenty of choices for both vegetarians and meat lovers alike.
Once you’ve finished breakfast, you’re off again for another exciting day of whitewater rafting after careful instruction from your trip leader. Each rafter will have a great time floating past historical artifacts, seeing the local flora and fauna, and maybe even spotting rare wildlife such as the river otter. You can truly enjoy the rafting experience without being an athlete because an expert will be guiding you and teaching you to paddle in unison and navigate.
Rafting in the American River South Fork, you can experience conquering the most famous rapids in the world, like the Meat Grinder, the Trouble Maker, and Satan’s Cesspool and Hospital Bar. When going through the “big” rapids, you will not be required to maneuver, so you can just hang on and have fun. The three-day adventure includes a visit to the Middle Fork of the American River where you can experience paddling the class IV rapids.
You will be shuttled back to base camp after your rafting trip where you can check out the photo shops. These shops will have your action pictures, shots of you on the river conquering the rapids. After experiencing the most affordable, accessible, and exciting getaway in California, surely you would want to come back again.

Travel Brazil – A Glimpse Of Beautiful South America
Brazil is the largest and most populated country in South America, and is fifth largest in the world in both area and population. Portuguese is the only official language of Brazil which is spoken by nearly the entire population. In fact, Brazil is the only country in the America’s in which Portuguese is their primary language.
If you look at a map of Brazil, you can see that it borders almost every other South American country except Ecuador and Chile. Brazil is divided up into 5 regions. The North Region, which is by far the largest, Northeast Region, Center-west Region, South Region and the Southeast Region, home of the most famous and popular destinations Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. The capital of Brazil is Brasilia, and with 11 million plus people, Sao Paulo is its largest city. Sao Paulo Brazil is also one of the largest cities by area and population in the southern hemisphere.
Brazil has a large selection of outdoor activities available for tourists and locals alike. You can hike, surf, dive, go rafting, play golf, volleyball, soccer, fish or virtually anything else you may want to do in the great outdoors you can do here in Brazil. Like most places in the world as of late, Cave exploring is now a very popular commode and with about 2, 800 registered Caves, the tourism industry has never been brighter.
Brazil is, of course, is also home to over 60% of the Amazon Rainforest. The Rainforest itself has some 5.5 million kilometres in total size within 8 different countries. The Rainforest also has much wildlife and some species that even still have yet to be discovered. The very sad thing about this habitat is that by the year 2020, it is estimated that 50% of the Brazilian wildlife will become extinct!! It is so bad that since 1970, over 500 square kilometres have been lost in this beautiful forest.
One more thing to remember while in Brazil is that street violence in certain areas of the major cities could get very harsh and dangerous. Don’t let this stop you from going to go visit a remarkable place, just be cautious. Make sure you don’t bring a lot of money with you at one time, don’t walk around at night in places you don’t know and if possible travelling in groups is a great idea. It is also a good idea to make sure you ALWAYS have a photo ID on you. The Brazilian police can ask for such things anytime, and you don’t want to constantly have your passport on you. A photocopy is a must have, so be sure you carry those around and leave the original in a safe place.
Whether you are looking for a beautiful beach, a glimpse of the absolutely stunning Amazon Rainforest, or the mile high sky scrapers in downtown Sao Paolo, Brazil has a little something to offer to any travel adventurer.
