    Game of Thrones to the Gobbins: Northern Ireland's Causeway Coast

    Northern Ireland has never had to contend with dragons, white walkers and the chill of an endless winter. That hasn’t stopped its wild landscape scoring a starring role in HBO’s Game of Thrones.

    Driving the 120-mile Causeway Coastal Route route from Belfast to Derry-Londonderry is a must for fans of the show, and offers a dramatic lesson in history and nature, from the Titanic and famine to a relaunched cliff path and the epic Giant’s Causeway.

    Last-minute camping trip? This startup finds you a spot to pitch your tent


    Who they are: Hipcamp

    What they do: Connect rural landowners with campers looking for a spot to pitch a tent that’s off the beaten trail

    Why it’s cool: If you’ve ever tried to book a campsite at a popular Northern California campground in the busy summer months, you understand how frustrating the experience can be. Prime spots fill up six months in advance, often the very minute they open reservations online. As travel writer Betsy Malloy put it in a recent post on tripsavvy.com: “you have to plan farther ahead for next year’s camping trip than you would for an African safari.”

    San Francisco-based Hipcamp is trying to take the headache out of planning a camping trip by turning more places into campgrounds. Sure, you can use the site to book a space at a public park, but you can also reserve a corner of a private ranch, vineyard, farm or rural backyard. No tent? Prefer glamping? No problem. Reserve a spot that comes with a yurt or a treehouse.

    “It just makes getting outside a lot simpler for people, and in many cases, more relevant,” said founder and CEO Alyssa Ravasio.

    Hipcamp launched in 2013 as a reservation platform for public camp grounds, and expanded into private land in 2015. Landowners who list their properties on the site receive $2 million in liability insurance to protect them in case a guest falls during a hike or has some other mishap during his or her stay.

    Where they stand: Hipcamp grew its number of campsites by 10 times this year compared to the year before. The platform now lists 15,000 sites on private land, 400 of which are in the Bay Area. Campers can pitch a tent in a lush garden in Bolinas in Marin County, book a yurt on an old tennis court in Mare Island Preserve in Vallejo or reserve a treehouse in Petaluma.

    Visit: hipcamp.com

    What will they think of next?

    Are you worried your Airbnb guests are running amok? Or are neighbors complaining about your loud parties? If so, NoiseAwaresays it has the solution. The company, which calls its service the “smoke detector for noise,” uses its sensors to monitor decibel levels at your property and alert you if things get too loud.

    On the company’s website, CEO David Krauss says he started the company after renting his condo on Airbnb to a guest who had a “rager,” angering his neighbors, prompting a cease-and-desist letter from his building, and ultimately forcing him to sell the property.

    Prices for the NoiseAware system range from $149 per year for a condo, to $399 for an “estate.” Learn more at noiseaware.io.

    Run the numbers:

    If you’re a man, unless you’re abnormally attractive, you may be better off not wasting your time on the dating app Tinder, according to a recent study posted on Medium and picked up by CB Insights. The researcher, who goes by the online handle Worst-Online-Dater, used a quantitative socio-economic study to determine the bottom 80 percent of men (ranked in terms of physical attractiveness) are competing for the bottom 22 percent of women. The top 78 percent of women are competing for the top 20 percent of men.

    Quotable:

    Many Silicon Valley tech leaders are speaking out against President Donald Trump’s move to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, and Uber Chief Technology Officer Thuan Pham, an immigrant himself, recently added his voice.

    In a blog post, Pham recounted leaving Vietnam with his mother and brother when he was 10 years old, and crossing to Malaysia in a fishing boat crammed with 470 other people, and no life jackets. His family ultimately was rejected from Malaysia and had to travel to Indonesia, and then the U.S., where they started their lives over “with empty hands.”

    “Immigrants often risk their lives for a chance at freedom and opportunity, and our country remains the world’s beacon of freedom and opportunity,” he wrote. “Immigrants have built and contributed to America since its very beginning, and are at the center of our social fabric and economic prosperity. My heart breaks to see so many people who are in the same situation today that I was in many years ago.”

    Journey to another world: Hang Son Doong, the world's largest cave


    Son Doong cave(Vietnamese: Hang Son Doong) is world's largest cave, located in Quang Binh province, Vietnam. It is found by a local man named Ho Khanh in 1991 and was recently discovered in 2009 by British cavers, led by Howard Limbert. The name "Son Doong" cave means "mountain river cave", It was created 2-5 million years ago by river water eroding away the limestone underneath the mountain Where the limestone was weak, the ceiling collapsed creating huge skylights.

    (CNN) - "Watch out for dinosaurs."

    ​

    I smile at our guide's warning and enter the lush jungle growing inside Hang Son Doong, a three-million-year-old cave in central Vietnam.

    Water drips from a gaping scar in the ceiling over 100 meters above us. A spectacular sunbeam starts to creep down the side of the serrated cliffs.

      The shrill call of birds and macaque monkeys echoes off the limestone, drifting in from the unseen world beyond the skylight.

      "Watch out for dinosaurs. That's what we called this place when we first discovered it," caving expert Howard Limbert, elaborates. The prehistoric atmosphere made the reference obvious.

      We continue on, stepping deeper into the void that is considered by some to be the largest cave in the world


      The discovery

      ​

      Located in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Phong Nha-Ke Bang National Park in Vietnam's Quang Binh province, Hang Son Doong is one of the most captivating adventures that can be experienced in Southeast Asia.

      More people have stood on the summit of Mount Everest than have witnessed the surreal beauty inside these enormous chambers.

      Translated as Mountain River Cave, it was first discovered in 1990 by Ho Khanh, a local farmer who was seeking shelter from a passing storm in the jungle.

      He noticed clouds and the sound of an underground river gushing from a large hole in the limestone, and reported his findings to the British Caving Research Association (BCRA), who were stationed in Phong Nha at the time.

      Unfortunately Ho Khanh lost his bearings during his return, and the exact location of the cave remained lost for 18 years.

      In 2008 while hunting for food he stumbled across the entrance again, and returned the following year with Howard and Deb Limbert from the BCRA.

      They began the exploration of the cave, and in 2010 determined it to be the largest ever discovered in terms of the size of its cross-section.

      The news shook the caving world.

      Take a sunset tour at the world’s oldest working lighthouse in Ireland

      The world’s oldest intact working lighthouse is based in Ireland and it is now offering sunset tours. They will take place at the 800-year-old Hook Lighthouse, which is situated at the tip of Hook Peninsula in Wexford, on the corner of Ireland’s Ancient East.

      “Watching the sun go down at the tip of the Hook Peninsula is a memorable experience,” lighthouse manager, Ann Waters, tells Lonely Planet. “We are delighted to introduce the sunset tours this season, and are considering the possibility of holding sunrise tours in the winter.”

      Hook Lighthouse will offer sunset tours. Image: Hook Lighthouse

      According to Ann, visitors from across the globe enjoy climbing the 115 well-worn steps of the tower during the tour, stepping back in time and exploring its thick-walled chambers. Taking visitors on a journey back through time, they first meet the life-size hologram of fifth century monk, St Dubhán. According to legend, the monks from Dubhán’s monastery erected the first fire beacon to warn seafarers to keep away from the dangerous rocks, and he describes the freezing nights he spent with fellow monks warning sailors against danger.

      As they ascend to the second floor, visitors meet another life-size hologram, Knight William Marshal, who was called “the greatest knight that ever lived” by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Marshal built the tower 800 years ago to guide shipping to his port at nearby New Ross, and also built Kilkenny Castle and Tintern Abbey. Up on the third floor, visitors can hear tales of times gone-by from a lighthouse keeper, before stepping onto the top floor outdoor balcony to take in the panoramic sweeping views of the southeast of Ireland.

      Visitors can savour Irish mead, prosecco, tea and coffee along with smoked salmon on homemade brown bread, a selection of canapés and mini desserts, while enjoying the stunning sunset from the balcony and the newly-opened lighthouse watch room. “Enjoying this vista of the sunset at the end of the day is something we have enjoyed at the lighthouse for many years,” says Ann. “We’re delighted to now offer this as a shared experience to visitors with the added flavour of some local and Irish food produce.”

      The Sunset Tour Experience will be on offer at 8pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays until the end of September 2017 by advance booking only. General guided tours are on offer seven days per week at Hook Lighthouse. See here or call 00 353 51 397055 for further information.

      Work From Around the World for $27K

      A new innovative program seeks to send travelers around the world for an entire year without the challenge of having to take a single vacation day.

      For $27,000 per year, Remote Year takes a group of 50 to 80 professionals all over the world.

      Customers will visit a new city in a new country each month.

      The cost covers travel expenses, accommodations, Internet-equipped workspaces and other activities along the way. Remote Year even provides expert city and regional managers that can ensure travelers will get the most out of each stop.

      Experiences like food tastings and language courses are designed to immerse visitors in the local culture before they depart for a new city.

      'Brinicle' ice finger of death filmed in Antarctic

      A bizarre underwater "icicle of death" has been filmed by a BBC crew. With timelapse cameras, specialists recorded salt water being excluded from the sea ice and sinking. The temperature of this sinking brine, which was well below 0C, caused the water to freeze in an icy sheath around it. Where the so-called "brinicle" met the sea bed, a web of ice formed that froze everything it touched, including sea urchins and starfish. The unusual phenomenon was filmed for the first time by cameramen Hugh Miller and Doug Anderson for the BBC One series Frozen Planet. Creeping ice The icy phenomenon is caused by cold, sinking brine, which is more dense than the rest of the sea water. It forms a brinicle as it contacts warmer water below the surface. Mr Miller set up the rig of timelapse equipment to capture the growing brinicle under the ice at Little Razorback Island, near Antarctica's Ross Archipelago. "When we were exploring around that island we came across an area where there had been three or four [brinicles] previously and there was one actually happening," Mr Miller told BBC Nature. The diving specialists noted the temperature and returned to the area as soon as the same conditions were repeated. "It was a bit of a race against time because no-one really knew how fast they formed," said Mr Miller. "The one we'd seen a week before was getting longer in front of our eyes... the whole thing only took five, six hours." Against the odds The location - beneath the ice off the foothills of the volcano Mount Erebus, in water as cold as -2C - was not easy to access. "That particular patch was difficult to get to. It was a long way from the hole and it was quite narrow at times between the sea bed and the ice," explained Mr Miller. "I do remember it being a struggle... All the kit is very heavy because it has to sit on the sea bed and not move for long periods of time." As well as the practicalities of setting up the equipment, the filmmakers had to contend with interference from the local wildlife. The large weddell seals in the area had no problems barging past and breaking off brinicles as well as the filming equipment. "The first time I did a timelapse at the spot a seal knocked it over," said Mr Miller. But the team's efforts were eventually rewarded with the first ever footage of a brinicle forming. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/15835017 [http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/15835017]

      World's most luxurious train?

      http://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/shiki-shima-east-japan-rail-company-tokyo-onsen-luxury-resort-a7714896.html#gallery

      Japan just launched the world's most luxurious train and the pictures are incredible

      Japan’s new narrow-gauge wonder-train has proved so successful that it has completely sold out until April 2018 — despite a price tag that works out at up to £2 per minute. Even before the first run, on 1 May, demand has been so high that bookings have been allocated by lottery. The Shiki-Shima is an extraordinary creation: a futuristic 10-coach train running on 3ft 6in-gauge lines and carrying a maximum of 34 passengers, who enjoy the most luxurious experience on the rails.

      From Pokémon to secret passageways: 5 of the best alternative city tours

      City breaks are usually a short, simple way to see somewhere new, but it can be easy to get stuck in the rigmarole of ticking off tourist attractions and generic sightseeing excursions. So for those interested in delving a little deeper, it's worth seeking out the growing number of alternative city tours – offering ways to view a more “real” side to a destination, or  experience sights that are off the radar for most visitors. Here are our chosen few.

       

      Passage of time: New York City

      ​

      View some of Manhattan’s most spectacular Art Deco architecture on a tour through the back streets of Midtown, led by a guide from the New York Obscura Society (atlasobscura.com). Midtown may be the city’s tourism heartland, but this tour offers an insight into some of its best-kept secrets, from luxurious public toilets to secret passageways that avoid the crowds. Even the most hardened urbanistas will gain a new perspective on the city that never sleeps. Next tour takes place 23 September; from $25pp (£19). 

       

      Anime attraction: Tokyo

      ​

      Addicted to Pokémon Go? Go straight to the source and head for Tokyo, where you can take a walking tour of the city’s anime shops (tokyowalkingtours.com). Covering classic Japanese anime such as Dragon Ball, Hello Kitty and Naruto, to name a few, this tour also offers the chance to visit the Pokémon Centre – where you can pick up official merch – as well as other specialist anime and manga stores. From 20,000 yen (£145) for groups of six.

       

      Then and now: Barcelona

      ​

      Relish the opportunity to explore Barcelona’s gothic quarter, while also doing something good for those who now live in the area. Homelessness is a growing problem in the Spanish city; more than 3,000 people sleep rough on Barcelona's streets today. Hidden City Tours (hiddencitytours.com) trains and employs guides who are homeless, so they can utilise their extensive knowledge of the city while finding meaningful employment. Each tour traces a route personal to each guide, teaching you about the city's history as well as its everday realities. From €15pp (£12.50); under 12s go free.

       

      Friday night lights: Berlin

      ​

      Berlin is a fantastic destination – and even more thrilling after dark. Alternative Berlin’s Twilight Tour (alternativeberlin.com/tours/twilight-tour) offers you the chance to experience private parties, live music and night markets in lesser-known neighbourhoods,  visiting secret spots on the fringes of the city. No specific itinerary exists for the tour as it changes from night to night, though you shouldn't expect it to be low-key: the company describes it as "not for the faint-hearted". From €20pp (£16); pre-booking essential; over-18s only. 

       

      Saddle up: Amsterdam

      ​

      To experience Amsterdam properly, you need to live like a local – and that means getting on your bike. With itineraries taking in street markets, bookshops, outdoor festivals and much more, Alltournative (alltournative-amsterdam.com) organises various bike tours of the city, including one focused on street art, led by a resident graffiti artist. Some itineraries can be led by the visitors themselves – with no set schedule, you choose what you want to see. From €22pp (£18).

      Null Stern's hotel with no walls allows panoramic views of the Swiss Alps



      DESCRIPTION:

      Guests are invited to sleep under the stars in this open-air hotel, which is located 6,463 feet above sea level in the mountains of Graubünden

      The Swiss Alps room has no walls, roof or bathroom – and is made up of only a bed with a couple of nightstands and lamps.

      However, Null Stern, the hotelier behind the concept, will provide a butler to deliver guests breakfast in bed, and a public bathroom is 10 minutes away.

      ​

      Null Stern, which translates to Zero Stars, was founded in 2008 by brothers Frank and Patrik Riklin and business partner Daniel Charbonnier.

      ​

      The trio previously transformed a former nuclear bunker in the Swiss city of Teufen into a hotel – branding it the "world's first zero-star hotel".

      "Even though this version is radically different from the first one in the nuclear bunker, the essence and the spirit of the concept remains the same – to put the guest at the centre of the experience and to focus on the intangible by reducing everything else to the minimum," said Charbonnier.

      ​

      Elsewhere in the Swiss Alps, Bureau A concealed a wooden cabin inside an artificial rock, and Milanese firm JM Architecture used mottled grey tiles to make an angular house appear as a "stone in the landscape".

      ​

      COSTS:

      The room costs 250 Swiss francs (approximately £191) per night, and although it is bookable throughout spring and autumn, reservations can be cancelled at the last minute due to poor weather.

      Inside the Japanese Hotel Staffed by Robots 

      https://youtu.be/mpzIQt6l4xY

      News of the world’s first hotel staffed by robots, which opened last month near Nagasaki, Japan (where else?), immediately went viral, but few of the reports actually involved a visit. I went along last week to see if Henn-na hotel lived up to the hype.

      I arrive at 2.55pm. All is quiet. Behind reception is a motionless but lifelike girl robot wearing a cream jacket and a smirk. She has a sign saying “only Japanese”, so I approach another robot, this one designed, bizarrely, to look like a velociraptor and sporting a bow tie and a bellhop hat. I say hello. Nothing. I wave and he stares past me, his arms outstretched but unmoving.

      “I’d like to check in please,” I shout, wondering if the robots are voice-activated. A door opens to the right and a real live human in a black T-shirt appears. “Check-in is 3pm” he says, and goes back into his room.

      Robots are taking off in Japan and several companies manufacture them for service. In April the Tokyo branch of Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi put a humanoid robot on reception; Nestlé is investing in robots to sell coffee makers in stores across the country; and robots guide visitors round the capital’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

      The hotel’s owner, Hideo Sawada, says he wants to make this “the most efficient hotel in the world” by reducing manpower and having 90% of staff be robotic. The hotel is in the Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Sasebo, Nagasaki. Designed to resemble the Netherlands, the park is a sort of Dutch Disneyland, with gardens, windmills and tea shops – and so far most hotel guests have been Japanese families visiting the park. The hotel itself is a beautifully designed modernist property, with techy additions such as aircon that adjusts to guests’ body temperature.

      At 3pm the velociraptor jerks to life and says, in an American accent, “Welcome to the Henn-na hotel. If you want to check in, press one.” I start tapping the screen but the man in black appears again and asks for my passport, leaving the robot to fall into a state of inertia. How disappointing.

      The hotel’s other robots include a giant mechanical arm in a glass case that stores luggage in individual drawers for ¥500 (£2.50). There’s also a foot-high “concierge” who explains breakfast times and locations (only in Japanese) and orders taxis. Robot “porters” are two rechargeable luggage trolleys – but only for residents of one luxury wing.

      Using facial recognition software, I let myself into my room and find, on my bedside table, Chu-ri-chan, a cute little electronic creature. She will switch on the lights and offer weather forecasts and wake-up calls. She’ll also perk up after being silent for an hour and scare the crap out of you. Robots may be the future, but for hotel hospitality, you still can’t beat the human touch.

      • Rooms at Henn-na start at about £36 a night, but at busy periods they are “auctioned” to the highest bidder. My superior twin, booked in April, cost £125

      Best Spanish Restaurants

      One of the things Spain is renowned for in the world is its food. We know that in many countries and cities there are Spanish restaurants, however we believe the best way to taste a local food is in its source of origin. Why? Because the traditional recipes, sometimes passed from generation to generation, are better prepared with the local products.

      We have selected a few of our favorite Spanish restaurants in Spain, some of the country's most important and visited countries, so if you visit Alicante you can get the best taste of cuisine, or where to taste the best Paella in Valencia.

      Our list includes national and regional cuisine restaurants as well as some of the best and most avant-garde of creative cuisine, all of them mixed with traditional touches as well, so you can get different perspectives of current Spanish cuisine too.

      Our Spanish restaurants in Spain lists include a price list (because we know that quality does not necessarily mean expensive), a short description of each restaurant and some dishes recommendations, some our own, others the own restaurant's chef, so you will get the best out of your gastronomic tour through Spain.

      ​

      Traditional Spanish Restaurants and Food

      Traditional Spanish cuisine is still extremely popular and there is no better place to get a taste of some true Spanish food than in Spain itself. One of the unique things about Spain is that every Spanish region and city has its own style of cooking and its own signature dishes which means that you will find a huge range of Spanish food in the restaurants and bars when you visit Spain.

      If you are looking for the best in traditional Spanish food then you should definitely head to some of the olderSpanish restaurants in Spain as they have been cooking the same dishes for years, if not centuries, and so have perfected the technique and ingredients.

      However, traditional doesn't mean to say that the food has to be old-fashioned and historical, as many Spanish chefs and their restaurants have proved. Traditional food can be joined with funky presentation, or chic surroundings, making the time-honoured dishes is exciting as many of the modern dishes in the new restaurants of Spain. 

       

      Modern Spanish Restaurants and Food

      Spanish cuisine, and particularly in the area of gastronomy, has taken some giant leaps forward in the recent years, breaking the traditional boundaries of Spanish food as we once knew it. It is becoming quite common for Spanish restaurants in Spain to update their menus to suit modern palates and tastes by adapting dishes and changing their ingredients. Some restaurants have even taken it a step further and have spent a great deal of time and care in developing their food into true works of art. 

       

      The Experience

      Going to a Spanish restaurant in Spain is about much more than just the food. The atmosphere and the overall experience can often mean a lot more. That is why so many Spanish restaurants to develop such an experience. Many have tried to create their own theme, or incorporate elements of a certain culture; all with the aim of entertaining all your senses and not just your taste buds.

      There are a number of lucky restaurants who are blessed with magical natural surroundings. For example, thoseSpanish restaurants that can be found along the seafront, such as those to be found in places like Valencia, Málaga and Marbella, have excellent views of the sea, coupled with the fresh air and the natural background music of the crashing waves. Land bound Spanish restaurants have to rely on the landmarks of the city in which they are set. In Granada, Spanish restaurants often have excellent views of La Alhambra or the other examples of ancient architecture.

      Dubai is building the world's first hotel with its own rainforest

      Architects in Dubai are building the world's first hotel with its own rainforest.

      Set to open in 2018, the Rosemont Hotel and Residences will boast over 2 million square feet of hotel, residential, and leisure space, an artificial beach, and a glass-bottom pool suspended above the streets of Dubai.

      The hotel, designed by ZAS Architects, will be accommodated by a 47-storey tower that neighbours a twin tower of the same height housing 280 residential properties.

      All entertainment facilities — including the 75,000-square-foot rainforest — will be located in the "podium" at the base of the two towers.

      As a city made famous by artificial islands and record-breaking architecture, Dubai will no doubt welcome the $550 million (£423.6 million) development project with open arms as it continues to redefine luxury.

      Arriving at the hotel is an experience in itself. These artist's renderings show guests being immediately greeted by dynamic 3D projections which will transform the drop-off point into a rainforest or a huge aquarium.

      CALBUCO | 4K/UHD volcanic eruption

      Volcano Calbuco erupted on April 22, 2015, for the first time in four decades. Located close to the cities of Puerto Varas and Puerto Montt in southern Chile. We (Jonas Dengler and Martin Heck) spend the prior couple of days on the neighboring volcano Osorno (~20km linear distance) shooting timelapses. After an amazing night under the nightsky we took the cable car downwards after a delay caused by repairs. Already late we headed south to catch the ferry on Routa 7 down to Patagonia. After 10min on the ferry we noticed a massive, almost nuclear looking cloud boiling upwards just were we left a few hours ago. Frenetically looking for a good outlook we then rushed to the only non-forested place to get a decent view of the show. We quickly put every bit of camera-equipment we could find on the constantly growing mushroom-cloud. We shot timelapses in 8K and 4K with a Pentax 645Z and Canon 6D. On the A7s we shot 4K video to the Shogun using Kingston HyperX SSDs. We filled almost all of our memory cards in the prior night so I had to do backups while shooting all this stuff.
      This was for sure the most incredible show I've ever seen. I think this is a one in a lifetime event and I am so happy that we were able to capture it in all its glory.
      We will also release a timelapse video of our 6 weeks trip to Patagonia soon.

      5 of the world's best cable car rides

      Sugarloaf mountain, Rio de Janeiro

      ​

      Few cities can match the epic, scene-stealing geography of Rio de Janeiro, where the neighbourhoods and favelas are dwarfed by lush green-coated peaks, ocean bays and long sandy beaches. If ever there was a city you’d want a bird’s eye view of, it’s this one. No surprise, then, that the Sugarloaf Mountain cable car is one of Rio’s most popular attractions, visited by more than 37 million people since opening in 1912 (it has been modernised since then). It has also proved an attractive site for stunts: it features in a fight scene in the Bond film Moonraker, and has been walked by tight rope walkers – something to think about as you glide safely to your destination.

      Mérida cable car, Venezuela

       

      After years of closure, the world’s highest and second-longest cable car reopened earlier this year. This epic piece of engineering was built in the 1960s to take passengers on the 12.5km journey from Mérida to 4,756-metre Espejo Peak. It was closed in 2008, but modernisation works did not begin until 2011. In April this year it came back into operation and passengers can take a vertigo-inducing ride to its final station above the clouds.

      Cabrio, Switzerland

      ​

      Want to feel the wind in your hair as you ride through the sky? A bit like the cable car equivalent of an open-top bus, the Cabrio cable car has two decks, with the roofless upper deck providing unbeatable photo opportunities of Lake Lucerne below, unobstructed by glass panes or even the cables themselves, which are connected to the sides of the car. The route up to the 1,900-metre Stanserhorn starts on an 120-year-old funicular railway; the Cabrio makes the final trip to the summit, where the panoramic theme can continue with dinner at the Rondorama revolving restaurant.

      • stanserhorn.ch

       

      Mi Teleférico, Bolivia

      ​

      While many cable cars (especially those of the 360-degree rotating variety), are designed as a tourist novelty, some provide vital transportation. This is the case in La Paz, which launched its ambitious cable car system in 2014 in response to the city’s overwhelming traffic problems. The route, which travels from La Paz to the even-higher-altitude city of El Alto (at 4,150 metres), affords passengers an impressive view of the city and the Andes. Gliding above the rooftops, the red, yellow and green gondolas are a great – and affordable – way to see the cities from a different perspective, while it’s also worth thinking about the cable car’s role in the lives of the citizens who use it.

       

      Tianmen mountain, China

      ​

      There’s a certain intensity to the mountains in Hunan province, which rise from the ground in steep, dramatic columns. There’s lots of opportunity for visitors to test their fear of heights, with a 1,400-metre-high cliffside walkway and three glass skywalks, the most recent of which opened last month (and then promptly closed down again to undergo “an internal system upgrade”). It also has the world’s longest cable car ride, which takes 30 minutes to travel 7km and concludes with an incredibly steep 37-degree drop. Passengers look down across the forest-covered valley and can see the notorious 99 bends road – a winding mountain route leading to Tianmen cave, a gaping hole in a rock wall, better known as Heaven’s Door.
