Bariloche is one of the most intense and incredible places in Argentina with stunning views of its lakes, streams, rivers and mountains. Each season brings different color: summer with long sunny days, the colors of the rainbow during the fall and spring and its unique white winter snows.

From June to October, Bariloche is one of the greatest tourist attractions in the country, offering visitors the chance to practise skiing, snowboarding, Nordic skiing, heli-skiing, sleigh and quad rides.

If you have the opportunity to travel with your family to Laos, the Elephant Conservation Center offers a unique experience to visitors wishing to contribute towards the protection of the Asian Elephant.

This family friendly center was launched in 2011 and welcomes visitors from all ages.  It is managed by a team of elephant specialists that have been working towards the protection of elephants in Laos for over a decade, running welfare, vet care, breeding and mahouts training programmes.

You can book and join the ECC for an overnight stay and discover their center and elephants. You can stay one night at a private bamboo bungalow and enjoy the view on the majestic lake surrounded by tropical forest. You can also stay for a week and volunteer as part of the Elephant Conservation team!  It will give you a more in-depth insight into what it takes to look after elephants.

The ECC has a special Kids in Conservation program. They partnership with several non-governmental organisations (Community Learning International, Eco-Sys Action…), and the Elephant Conservation Center promotes literacy within schools in rural Sayaboury province in northern Laos.  They encourage literacy within schoolchildren by distributing Lao language resources and bringing students up close with the endangered Asian Elephant.

We do not like crowded beaches so we try to travel to Asturias in July (specially during weekdays) when we have this paradise of blue & green just for us.

They say that “if you visit Asturias, you stay“.

P.S. For more information, please visit the oficial site for visiting Asturias. You will not regret it!
