Great scenic drives, San Juan Skyway in Colorado

  • by

USA on the road, the myth of the wide open spaces of North America, to discover and enjoy traveling. And over there this thing take it seriously (there is a section of the Ministry of Transport who treats Scenic Route), and if the appeal of US Route 66 catalyzes the imagination of the great journeys, in the USA you can go beyond, as for example with the Great River Road, 4766 km from the border of Canada to the Gulf of Mexico, the California State Route 1, from Monterrey to Los Angeles, or the US Route 2, another coast to coast, from Maine to Seattle.

Reed Flute Cave

The spectacle of the Reed Flute Cave in Guilin

Remained unknown for centuries, was rediscovered only in 1940, and since then its popularity has been increasing more and more, so that today it has become a popular tourist attraction. A wonderful multi-color cave.

Reed Flute Cave

All because of the war, or rather of the Japanese invasion of China in the 30’s.Read More »The spectacle of the Reed Flute Cave in Guilin
