Image
Cholula is a city and district located in the center west of the state of Puebla, next to the city of Puebla de Zaragoza, in central Mexico. Cholula is best known for its Great Pyramid, with the Nuestra Señora de los Remedios sanctuary on top and its numerous churches. The city and district are divided into two, San Pedro Cholula and San Andrés Cholula, which together are officially called the Distrito Cholula de Rivadavia. The pyramid is small part of the archeological zone of Cholula, which is estimated at 154 hectares (380 acres).  Building of the pyramid began in the pre Classic period and over time was built over six times to its final dimensions of 120 metres on each side at the base and eighteen meters tall.  This base is four times the size of that of the Great Pyramid of Giza and is the largest pyramid base in the Americas.  Two of the stages of construction use talud-tablero architecture which was also used in Teotihuacan.  Some of the pyramid constructions...

All up the group consists of 2 guides, 1 group leader, and 12 of us in the group. We're all supported by 19 porters and 2 chefs, each group member is allowed 6 kgs (including sleeping bag) packed neatly into a duffle bag which is carried by porters along with all the other camping and cooking equipment required for the trail. The porters and chefs use a different entry into the park where their packing gear is weighed as there is a strict limit on the load they are each permitted to carry - 25kgs. The initial 8 - 10 kms of the trail are still used b...

Sedona, Arizona

Image
Sedona, a city in the northern Verde Valley region of Arizona which is surrounded by an array of red sandstone formations. The formations appear to glow in brilliant orange and red when illuminated by the rising or setting sun. Think classic western movie backdrops ...... there you go! A quick pic of the highways between Las Vegas ans Sedona I approached Sedona from the north, which is the upper end of the valley consisting of a greater amount of greener vegetation. Viewpoint from the upper-side of the valley As I drive further down the valley towards Sedona, the rock get more colourful and the vegetation more spase. The view over the Sedona
