I found this awesome horse riding tour, makes me want to visit, taking a horse through such wild wetlands, wonder if they see many crocs ?

Oxford a city well renowned for its Oxford University Colleges is also an architectural delight. You can appreciate Oxford in just a few hours if that's all you have time for but a full day should be spared for such famous buildings as the Carfax Tower, Christ Church College or Sheldonian Theatre to name a few. Broad street is a fantastically diverse architectural street more than any in the UK for example Trinity College. Oxford also has remains of a castle and moat, city walls. In summer take a punt on the river Cherwell where it meets the Thames these days called the Issis from latin Tamesis !

There are some nice parks and rivers also and a pleasant walk exists from Christ Church College round to Magdalen Bridge.

Don't forget where Alice in Wonderland bought her sweets at Alice's shop on St Aldates road though the rabbit hole is lost.

Welcome to Buenos Aires !

This is a quick start guide that has some very good links and that info which you find you need first. (bookmark it and come back if you need to) and share it on facebook or other .

Things to Do

A must see if you come to Rio. Plan to spend 3 hours or more here. Cacti section, tall palms, lake with massive fish...But its really well done. Also enjoy the views up to Christ the redeemer.

You can get a bus direct from Copacabana and Ipanema.

Up the road 15 minutes is Parque Lage, interesting for its main building inside and there is a treck which goes all the way up to Corcovado ! Not often made these days but the path is good. It takes a good pair of hiking boots but I did it in flip flops in 1 hr 30. You should take hiking boots and take longer to do it.
