Lima, Jan. 15 (ANDINA). The Peruvian Sports Institute (IPD) said Sunday that the 2012 Dakar Rally will boost foreign tourist arrivals as it has helped discover and promote new travel destinations in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;IPD president Francisco Boza stated that the Peruvian desert, watched by thousands of fans from around the world, is a huge potential to tourism growth in the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Peru’s image in the 2012 Dakar Rally will generate a lot of tourism and visits as people have discovered new tourist places. The desert has a huge potential,” the president of IPD told TVPeru.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Speaking from the Plaza de Armas of Lima, Boza emphasized the support of regional authorities and citizens who welcomed the competitors in the best possible way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A total of 469 vehicles - cars, motorbikes, quads and trucks - set out from the Argentine seaside city of Mar del Plata on January 1. Only 242 vehicles managed to finish in Lima.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Participants completed 14 stages - one of which was cancelled due to snow - and covered more than 8,000 kilometres, including more than 4,000 kilometres of timed specials.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Dakar Rally was held for the fourth straight year in South America. The endurance race took place in Africa from 1979-2007.&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yBtJNHRk8PM/TxMvHCOW1LI/AAAAAAAAADw/6fGxSn_8KNQ/s1600/Desierto+con+Dunas.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: http://www.andina.com.pe/Ingles/Noticia.aspx?Id=j1HOi8XvzhA=&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6715698017477726512-42144757426835303?l=amazon-explorer.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/AmazonExplorerEcotourismAndSurvivalInTheAmazonRainforest/~4/9TUv9H09vm4" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</content><link rel="replies" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://amazon-explorer.blogspot.com/feeds/42144757426835303/comments/default" title="Post Comments" /><link rel="replies" type="text/html" href="http://amazon-explorer.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-tourist-spots-promoted-during-dakar.html#comment-form" title="0 Comments" /><link rel="edit" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6715698017477726512/posts/default/42144757426835303?v=2" /><link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6715698017477726512/posts/default/42144757426835303?v=2" /><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/AmazonExplorerEcotourismAndSurvivalInTheAmazonRainforest/~3/9TUv9H09vm4/new-tourist-spots-promoted-during-dakar.html" title="New tourist spots promoted during Dakar Rally in Peru" /><author><name>Amazon Explorer</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16091796530857933159</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel="http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail" width="32" height="32" src="http://www.amazonexplorer.com/new/english/images/tapa-anaconda22.jpg" /></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tiNTYerZQhk/TxMtHDLPtxI/AAAAAAAAADo/K7hIgyU7OCg/s72-c/Dakar_Rally-Peru.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total><georss:featurename>Carretera Puerto Caballas, Peru</georss:featurename><georss:point>-14.583583455156512 -75.43212890625</georss:point><georss:box>-16.54916295515651 -77.95898440625 -12.618003955156512 -72.90527340625</georss:box><feedburner:origLink>http://amazon-explorer.blogspot.com/2012/01/new-tourist-spots-promoted-during-dakar.html</feedburner:origLink></entry><entry gd:etag="W/&quot;DEAFQHc-cSp7ImA9WhRVFkg.&quot;"><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6715698017477726512.post-8761163088849095454</id><published>2012-01-15T14:43:00.001-05:00</published><updated>2012-01-15T14:45:11.959-05:00</updated><app:edited xmlns:app="http://www.w3.org/2007/app">2012-01-15T14:45:11.959-05:00</app:edited><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="trip" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="party" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="carnival" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Amazonas" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="jungle" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="forest" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="amazon" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="journey" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Iquitos" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Travel" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="fest" /><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Peru" /><title>Amazon Carnival 2012, Iquitos, Peru</title><content type="html">

The Amazon Carnival (Carnaval Amazónico) is a party of happiness. In from 12 to 23 February 2012, some indigenous heritage will be shown on dances, parades and masked dancers at Iquitos. As usual, neigbourhoods will dance around a palm named Humisha.&lt;br /&gt;

The altitude of the Reserve is between 80 to 206 msnm (263 to 675 feet above sea level) and have many lagoons and streams of calm water that reflects the landscapes and sky as a mirror. Due its landscapes and biodiversity, the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve is an Amazon hotspot for ecotourism, adventure travel and birdwatching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are many tour companies -cruises, lodges, travel agencies and local guides of the villages living in the protected area (these people were trainned by the Peruvian government and NGOs)- that organizes jungle trips to the reserve, but always is better contact only with registered ones.&lt;br /&gt;

El viernes 11 de noviembre de 2011 a las 11 de la mañana (11 del 11 del 11), dentro de 5 días, llega el tan esperado final del concurso internacional de la Fundación New7Wonders, donde el Amazonas (río y selva) se encuentra como uno de los finalistas favoritos del certamen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Luego del éxito obtenido por el suizo Bernard Weber y su fundación en el concurso para elegir las siete Nuevas Maravillas del Mundo, en el que Machu Picchu quedó como una de las elegidas el 7 de julio de 2007 (7 del 7 del 7), la organización ha planteado este nuevo certamen, en esta ocasión para elegir las siete maravillas naturales más relevantes para la humanidad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En 2007, durante la primera fase se presentaron 454 atractivos de más de 220 países, de los que quedaron para la segunda fase los 261 candidatos más votados. De éstos últimos quedaron 77 atractivos de los que un panel de expertos tuvo la misión de seleccionar a los 28 finalistas que actualmente pugnan por quedar entre los siete más votados. Esta selección tuvo en cuenta la belleza del lugar, diversidad, importancia ecológica, legado histórico y la localización geográfica para tener una distribución equitativa por continentes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Imagen de Wikipedia&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Al principio del concurso el Perú contaba con varios representantes como el lago Titicaca y el Cañón del Colca, el río Amazonas quedó como único representante peruano (aunque compartido con varios países) a pertenecer al selecto grupo de los siete destinos naturales más bellos de la tierra. También hay otros destinos sudamericanos que pugnan y tienen posibilidades de quedar entre los siete como las Islas Galápagos (Ecuador), las Cataratas del Iguazú (Argentina y Brasil) y el Salto del Ángel (Venezuela).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Todavía se puede votar en &lt;a href="http://www.n7w.com/"&gt;www.n7w.com&lt;/a&gt;, apoyemos al Amazonas y otros candidatos sudamericanos para quedarse entre los siete elegidos.&lt;br /&gt;

Their lands extends along the Amazon, northern Peru and southern Ecuador.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Succesfully resistered the incursions of the Inca Empire and later the Spanish conquistadores. Before the Spanish conquest, the Inca Huayna Cápac tried to conquer the Shuar people. Later, in 1549, year in which for the first time arrived a Spanish expedition in the shelters of their isolated jungle. The leader of the expedition, who was really furious, sent a letter to the Spanish King telling him: “I inform my Majesty that their town is the most insolent that I have seen during all the time that I have been travelling in the Indies and fighting to conquer it”. This brave man, who was Hernando de Benavente, arrived there with the idea of establishing a camp, was obligated by the hostile Jibaros to lease their geographic areas.&lt;br /&gt;

In his book, which was title The Jívaro: People of the Sacred Waterfalls, edited in 1972, the anthropologist Michael J. Harner, set the place of this tribe in the history saying: “We only know an Indian tribe of American representatives that could fight against the Spanish Empire and failed all the intention of the conquerors to dominate them: the Jibaro people.”&lt;br /&gt;

The Spanish chronicles related that during that year, aroun 20000 Jibaro leaded by Kirrúba (Quiruba) due the Governor of Macas, representative of the Spanish colony, charged a huge tribute to the indigenous people, the Jíbaro people rose in rebellion and kill a thousand of white citizens in only one day. First, they captured to the Governor in a city named Logroño de los Caballeros, poured melted gold in his throat up to his bowels exploded inside his body and destroyed the village. Some nights later, in 25 leagues of distance, they killed most of the men in the village of Sevilla de Oro and Valladolid, as well as Canelos, Zamora and other colonial villages in the area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nowadays, the Shuar people are located in the area of the rivers Tigre, Morona and Pastaza in Peru, and in south Ecuador. An expedition to their lands usually requires sense of adventure and 15 days available.&lt;br /&gt;

La Reserva Nacional Pacaya Samiria es el área protegida más extensa de toda la Amazonía inundable y la cuarta de toda América del Sur, siendo considerada &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convenio_de_Ramsar"&gt;sitio RAMSAR&lt;/a&gt; desde 1986. Su territorio de 2'080,000 ha (20,800 km2 o 5139.7 acres) es el hogar de una inmensa variedad de especies de flora y fauna, muchas de ellas en peligro de extinción como la &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pteronura_brasiliensis"&gt;nutria gigante de río&lt;/a&gt;, el &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trichechus_inunguis"&gt;manatí amazónico&lt;/a&gt;, los delfines &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inia_geoffrensis"&gt;rosados&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sotalia_fluviatilis"&gt;grises&lt;/a&gt;, caimanes, las tortugas fluviales gigantes &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podocnemis_expansa"&gt;charapas&lt;/a&gt; y &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podocnemis_unifilis"&gt;taricayas&lt;/a&gt;, así como de variedad de especies de reptiles, mamíferos como el oso perezoso, el &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronsoco"&gt;ronsoco&lt;/a&gt; (capibara), el&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panthera_onca"&gt;otorongo (jaguar&lt;/a&gt;) primates y aves como el exótico &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shansho"&gt;shansho (hoatzín)&lt;/a&gt;, garzas, tucanes y tucanetas, &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colibri"&gt;colibríes (picaflores)&lt;/a&gt;, rapaces como el &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%81guila_harp%C3%ADa"&gt;águila harpía&lt;/a&gt; y halcones, entre otros.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;
Sus ríos, lagos, lagunas y pantanos son el hogar de gran variedad de peces fluviales, como el &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arapaima_gigas"&gt;paiche&lt;/a&gt;, el gigante amazónico de más de 250 cm y las temidas &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pira%C3%B1a"&gt;pirañas&lt;/a&gt;, así como la conocida &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eunectes_murinus"&gt;anaconda&lt;/a&gt;. Asimismo, estas aguas, oscuras y tranquilas, reflejan casi a la perfección el cielo y los paisajes selváticos, por lo que la reserva también es conocida como “La Selva de los Espejos”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Debido a que el Pacaya Samiria se encuentra en la Amazonía, posee un clima ecuatorial (caluroso y muy húmedo), con dos estaciones: seca (entre mayo y octubre, cuando los ríos se secan) y la lluviosa (entre noviembre y abril, cuando los ríos tienen mayor nivel y caudal), siendo es posible visitarla durante todo el año.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aproximadamente a medio año, las tortugas fluviales desovan en playas arenosas, eclosionando alrededor de noviembre.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
La Reserva Nacional Pacaya Samiria, por su gran biodiversidad y belleza escénica, es un lugar ideal para actividades de ecoturismo, observación de aves y de vida silvestre, así como estudios científicos. El tiempo mínimo de visita recomendable es de 3 días y 2 noches, siendo ideal tomar de 5 a más&amp;nbsp;días, pues con este tiempo es posible llegar a la laguna El Dorado (o cocha El Dorado como es conocida por los lugareños), que es la zona del Yanayacu-Pucate con mayor diversidad de fauna silvestre (aves, caimanes, mamíferos y el paiche, uno de los peces de agua dulce más grande del mundo), rodeado de selva primaria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La RNPS puede ser visitada por todo tipo de viajeros, desde parejas, familias o estudiantes hasta aventureros.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Su territorio se extiende por el norte del &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per%C3%BA"&gt;Perú&lt;/a&gt; y sur del &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecuador"&gt;Ecuador&lt;/a&gt;, en la selva del Amazonas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resistieron exitosamente las incursiones de los &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperio_inca"&gt;Incas&lt;/a&gt; y posteriormente a los &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperio_espa%C3%B1ol"&gt;conquistadores españoles&lt;/a&gt;. Antes de la conquista española, el Emperador &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huayna_C%C3%A1pac"&gt;Huayna Cápac&lt;/a&gt; trató, sin éxito, de conquistar a los &lt;a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuar"&gt;Shuar&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Posteriormente, en 1549, año en que penetró por primera vez una expedición española en las guaridas de su aislada selva, muy indignado, el líder de la expedición, el capitán Hernando de Benavente, envió una carta al Rey de España: «Afirmo ante su alteza», escribió Benavente, «que este pueblo es el más insolente que he visto en todo el tiempo que llevo viajando por las indias y luchando para su conquista», Benavente, que llego allí con la idea de establecer un campamento, fue obligado por los Jívaros a batirse en retirada. Los españoles los nombraron jívaros como sinónimo de salvajes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
En su libro The Jívaro: People of the Sacred Waterfalls, editado en 1972, el antropólogo &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_J._Harner"&gt;Michael J. Harner&lt;/a&gt; fijó el lugar de esta tribu en la historia: «tan solo se conoce una tribu de indios americanos que haya conseguido levantarse contra el imperio de España y que haya abordado todos los intentos consiguientes de los españoles por reconquistarles: Los Jívaros».&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aunque sucesivos españoles dominaron la tribu durante medio siglo, los Jívaros se sublevaron en 1599. Las crónicas españolas relatan que durante dicho año unos 20000 Jívaros, comandados por Kirrúba (Quiruba), a raíz de que el Gobernador de Macas, el representante colonial español de la zona, impuso un enorme tributo a los indígenas, se sublevaron y dieron muerte a miles de blancos. Primero capturaron al Gobernador, afincado en la ciudad de Logroño de los Caballeros, vertieron oro fundido en su garganta «hasta que las tripas le estallaron dentro del cuerpo» y luego destruyeron totalmente el pueblo. Unas pocas noches más tarde y a unas veinticinco leguas de distancia destruyeron Sevilla de Oro y Valladolid, así como Canelos, Zamora y otros pueblos coloniales. En aquellas incursiones se llevaron a muchas mujeres blancas, por lo que todavía en nuestros días se puede distinguir rasgos de mezcla blanca en los rostros de algunos Jívaros.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Actualmente, los pueblos Shuar se localizan en el Perú en el área de los ríos Tigre, Morona y Pastaza, frontera con el Ecuador.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;To provide a better experience for the adventure traveler or those looking for something harder, &lt;b&gt;AMAZON EXPLORER&lt;/b&gt; has prepared a &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/AMAZON-EXPLORER/329177975779?sk=events"&gt;schedule of expeditions&lt;/a&gt; to remote indigenous tribes in the jungle (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mats%C3%A9s"&gt;Matsés&lt;/a&gt; / Mayoruna and &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuar_people"&gt;Shuar&lt;/a&gt; / Jibaro), and jungle survival trainings during 2011.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Start in late June, with a 3-day short course on jungle survival, where military and indigenous techniques to locate, find food, protect and survive in this extreme ecosystem will be learned. By mid-July we have prepared a 15-day expedition to Matsés Indian tribe, river Yaquerana, on the border between Peru and Brazil (South America). There we will live together with this community, observing their customs and listening to their stories. In August there is a 5-day jungle survival training. In September, a 15-day expedition to the Matsés. By October a new jungle survival training of 3 days.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Closing 2011, we have two 20-day expeditions: in November to the Shuar indigenous people. Also known as the Jibaro people their were greatly feared, and were world famous for their Tsantsa, the shrunken heads, who speak Spanish chronicles of the conquest. In December we have a 20-day expedition to the Matsés people.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remember, &lt;b&gt;AMAZON EXPLORER&lt;/b&gt; also organizes conventional expeditions for families, couples and students who wish to learn more about the Amazon and the &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacaya-Samiria_National_Reserve"&gt;Pacaya Samiria National Reserve&lt;/a&gt; (the largest in the floodable Amazon basin), with the experience and quality that have given us years of traveling in the depths of the Amazon.&lt;br /&gt;
