Good for the beaches
Review of Natal by NATALIA70

Advantages: Beach life and a tasty restaurant
Disadvantages: I do not know

Everyone goes to Natal for the beaches. There are plenty of beaches in town, along the litoral. Many travel agencies in town organize tours to the sand dunes where you can be driven around in a kind of buggy jeep up and down the dunes. In the night the night-life along the beaches is never dull. There are quite a few discos and restaurants and it is nice to stay by the sea. Hotel Natal in Avenida Rio Branco is a good place to stay, it is not too ... Read review

Bumpy bumpy!
Review of Natal by CICLISTALOCO

Advantages: Good food and sand dunes
Disadvantages: Some of the guys driving on the dunes are crazy!

Natal is the capital of the state of Rio grande do Norte. This state is not on the main tourist track when you go to Brazil. From my experience, if you like to lazy on the beach and have nice seafood for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this is the place you should go to. There are not many or relevant historic monuments here. Instead, people come here for the beach attractions. One of the main attractions is to hire on the local bugeiros for a buggy ...
...unless you meet other travellers who have gone through the experience already. Although the experience in itself is definitively worth it, I would advice you to choose a reliable-looking bugeiro (I could no find many, myself!). The one we chose, was fine, he showed us some of the usual tricks you would expect for this kind of thing, but safety was never an issue. An e had a nice lunch too. ... Read review

Review of Hluhluwe National Park, South Africa by  VC81

Advantages: Outstanding scenery, the best park for game viewing in South Africa
Disadvantages: Absolutely none.

...-guided walking trails - Emoyeni (a hill giving beautiful views of the river), Mplia Enkulu (a track running up a steep hill directly behind Mpila rest camp) and Masinda Ncane. These are wonderful for tourists to get a real feel of the bush after being cooped up in a vehicle. ENVIRONEMTNAL EDUCATION: The Centenary Centre in Umfolozi is a very interesting place to visit. The Natal Parks Board's policy of live game removal instead of culling, has led to the development of the HUP Game Capture Unit which operate from here, translocating around 5000 animals per year to manage and sustain the game populations. The captured animals are kept in bomas and a tour can be taken for a small fee. There is also a game capture museum, showing the history of capturing methods, from men running with large nets to a full scale modern operations with a helicopter... Read review

Review of Parque Nacional Torres del Paine by  Librelola

Advantages: An out of this world experience.
Disadvantages: It's a bit far but most certainly worth it.

...to get to the extreme south of Chile, as the Chilean one is rather bumpy. But there are many ways of getting there, you can fly into Punta Arenas in Chile and then take a bus from there to the park with a tour company, or go to Puerto Natales (112km south of the Park) and catch one the many buses that shuttle back and forth from there to Torres de Paine at least 2 to 3 times a day. The buses have to be taken from the junction of Valdivia and Baquedano as Puerto Natales has no central bus station. You can also fly from Calafate in Argentina; this will get you to a small airfield near Torres del Paine. Buses can be taken from Calafate as well. However, for more information on how to get there, as this is not really the point of this review, I would advise you to get in touch with the Chilean Consulate or to check this website...

...Jennifer Lopez at an awards show. Every time I got in line for a ride, a passel of swarthy children with rickets went racing past me to reconnect with their smelly relatives. There's something about unruly kids in public places that makes me want to give a few post-natal abortions. And let's talk about the culturally bankrupt city of Orlando for a minute. Orlando's idea of art is an air-brushed t-shirt. The number one tourist destination in America welcomes four million tourists each month. The 1.2 million permanent residents have exciting and satisfying occupations like timeshare saleman, bartender, trinket salesperson, and seat belt buckler. A hot swampy, bug-infested dump inhabited by minimum wage dregs, cheesy salespeople and disgruntled third-rate hospitality industry supervisors. its not all bad... The sweets and gifts are good...
