Provider: Geographic Expeditions In Travels in Ethiopia, David Buxton wrote that the country “rises up from the wastes of equatorial Africa like an island from the sea.” A particularly beautiful and unexpected island, in time as well as geography. Ethiopia’s history is immense and unique, spanning religions as diverse as Islam, Christianity, and a host of philosophies we used to blithely call paganism (not to mention Marxism, a grim secular faith Ethiopia wrestled with for years and finally discarded).

Provider: Geographic Expeditions Timbuktu, long the very synonym of farfetchedness, may be the highpoint of this short but jauntily exotic journey (“That impracticable place Timbuctoo,” Lord Byron called it in Don Juan, “where Geography finds no one to oblige her / with such a chart as may be safely stuck to”). There’s much more to relish, though, than the faded glories of this fabled city, once a dazzling center of scholarship and trade perched on the edge of the Sahara (and now mining… more |

Provider: Geographic Expeditions Argentina’s sere and volcano-dotted far north, on the other side of the Andes from the Atacama Desert, is little-known and less traveled.

Then off we go to the… more |

Oh, there’s the Canal, and some nice Central American jazziness, and maybe we have a mental image of a nice jungle here and there, but somehow we think we’ve been there without ever having gone there. A common error, but, in Panama’s case, an unfortunate one.First, if not foremost, there’s the Canal.… more |
