This is a remote site but the effort to get here will be rewarded with the incredible natural beauty of this dramatic wilderness.

To get here you can fly into Ecuador's capital city, Quito. Then drive about 75 miles south to Banos, the nearest town to Sangay National Park.

The best way to see the park is with a professional tour company.

Surtrek is a top tour operator that offers an 8-day tour of the park as one of their Ecuador Adventure Tours.

This is a great way to explore the volcanoes, rivers, lagoons and wildlife that make up this diverse and wonderful ecosystem.

The lake has about 40 or so Floating islands which are man made. The islands are constructed from reeds and they actually float on the surface. The locals are friendly and welcome tourists.

Inca treasure can be seen at the Gold Museum on the most popular island, Island of the Sun. Here you can also explore the ruins of a huge stone labyrinth which was formerly an Incan seminary.

Lakeside towns well worth visiting are Copacabana on the Bolivian side and Puno on the Peruvian shore. Guided boats tours are the best way to explore and see all the many wonders that Lake Titicaca has to offer.

Explore remote lakes. Go for an evening after dinner cruise and explore the Amazon night! Take canoe lessons in authentic dug-out canoes. Stretch your legs with a morning rainforest hike led by a local shaman and plant expert. This a full-fledged green operation that welcomes anyone with an adventurous and open-minded spirit.

Whether it's a horse supported trek to the cliff tombs of Chachapoyas, a trip to view the Scarlet-backed Woodpecker in the forests of northern Peru or a tour of Gocta, the third highest waterfall in the world - Vilaya Tours can guide you to the Peru vacation you've been dreaming about.

Other amazing things to do in this beautiful country include going to the amazing restaurants in the country and mountain backpacking. The food is quality and very tasteful.

Mountain backpacking is an amazing sport of the country that most people who visit the country participate in. Overall, Argentina is the place to go to for a visit. Argentina is an under the radar, quality country that should be a more common attraction.
