| Real
Adventures 
Although the scope of this
site is far greater than 'adventures' it is a young site with a
lot of growing to do, and we feel it presently best complements
our listings in this section: offering 'real adventures'.
|
This
site has a crisp, clean appearance and, although it does not have
great depth, it does offer some interesting vacation ideas - from
bikes to balloons! |

"Life's too
short to waste time on things that don't enrich you" says the
Home Page. So get stuck into the real pages quickly!
We think this site is beautiful, colour coordination
is great, it's sensible, useful, informative - it even gives health
and visa information. So now you know why it couldn't rank higher
with us! |
White
ROC
Snowboarding, or any other forms of scraping snow
fast are covered, concentrating on
European resorts.
|
Pictures are in
short supply on this site - unless you include brochure covers.
Details of their vacations are there, but you'll need to call-up
a brochure before you get to the bottom line of what it will cost!
An arm and a leg? Depends on how you ski!
What
we liked best was the 'Flexible Travel' page where the plane takes
off across the page. Great stuff! And there's also a video option
- which we didn't have time to see. |

sites will include Antartica? |
| Rotrek
Patagonia Mountain Trekking 
Argentina's name derives
from the Latin meaning "land of silver" (not tin!). Since
the climate varies greatly over the length of the country, do your
research so you know what to expect! |
General information
and tips for travellers to Argentina and Patagonia, plus clear maps
and detailed itineraries of some interesting treks. There are also
some rather nice - but small - pictures in the gallery: but since
you can click to enlarge, there's not much ground for complaint
here! A well thought-out site that's worth a visit from adventurous
trekkers! |

etc. UK travel company specializes in this area. |
Loads of trips here,
clearly from an organization that knows its stuff. There are some
great pictures too, although we missed them all the first time round
- because we were using a narrow window width. It does not adjust
to bring them in, so make sure you have a wide window if you want
to see the wide vistas! |
