Pimachiowin Aki

Can SARICA Turkey - Canada - 30-Jul-24

Pimachiowin Aki

Pimachiowin Aki is one of the world's lesser-visited World Heritage Sites. At the time of writing this review, I was only the fourth visitor of this site on this website, despite its inscription about six years ago. I visited Pimachiowin Aki in late July 2024, starting my trip from Toronto. I landed at Winnipeg Airport at 9:15 am, rented an SUV (110 CAD/day incl. insurance), bought a tent and some food from a nearby Walmart, and left the city around 10:30 am. The airport is compact, and everything was super smooth and within easy reach.

Gordion

Can SARICA Turkey - Canada - 20-Jul-24

Gordion

Gordion is Turkey's latest addition to the UNESCO World Heritage list as of June 2024 and one of the easiest to reach, thanks to the high-speed trains ("Yüksek Hızlı Tren"). While previous reviews have focused on its historical significance, I will concentrate on the logistics.

I started my trip from Istanbul, where my family lives. If you will do the same, then I have an important tip for you: book your train tickets at least a week in advance. Trains often sell out 3-4 days before departure, as I discovered the hard way

Escuelas Nacionales de Arte de Cubanacán (T)

Can SARICA Turkey - Canada - 11-Apr-24

Escuelas Nacionales de Arte de Cubanacán (T)

The National Art Schools stand as remarkable architectural marvels, embodying the utopian optimism and revolutionary exuberance of the early years of the Cuban Revolution. Consisting of five distinct school building complexes dedicated to music, ballet, modern dance, plastic arts, and dramatic arts, these structures were designed by three visionary architects—Porro, Gottardi, and Garatti—using organic Catalan-vaulted brick and terra-cotta construction techniques. Their history is poignant and worth exploring on Wikipedia before your visit.

Los Petenes-Ría Celestún (T)

Can SARICA Turkey - Canada - 13-Jan-24

Los Petenes-Ría Celestún (T)

I am quite surprised that there are no reviews about this delightful place, and only a small number of community members have explored this popular tourist spot that is easily accessible. Our visit coincided with our journey from another WHS, Campeche, to Merida. The main roads in Yucatan are modern and well-maintained. We covered two-thirds of the journey on the highway and the rest through picturesque villages, encountering only one police check. Such moments in Mexico can be nerve-wracking, given past experiences of being asked for bribes by the police for unknown and irrelevant reasons. Nevertheless, we reached the boat departure area, Parador Turístico Flamingos Boating Celestún, located just 5 minutes inland from the main beach, without any issues.

Ring of cenotes of Chicxulub Crater, Yucatan (T)

Can SARICA Turkey - Canada - 13-Jan-24

Ring of cenotes of Chicxulub Crater, Yucatan (T)

After a delightful morning exploring the charming city of Izamal, our journey to Uxmal took us through the captivating Zona de Cenotes. This not only added another tick to our UNESCO travel list but also posed the enticing question: What better way to spend the afternoon than immersing ourselves in the tranquil embrace of a cenote? However, this enchanting opportunity came with the challenge of selecting the perfect one from the hundreds in the peninsula, with 99 specifically shortlisted for consideration.
