  #1 Mount Kilimanjaro, Tanzania Located in Tanzania, Mount Kilimanjaro is Africa’s tallest mountain at about 5,895 meters (19,340 feet).  It is the largest free-standing mountain rise in the world, meaning it is not part of a mountain range. Also called a stratovolcano (a term for a very large volcano made of ash, lava, and rock). Kilimanjaro is made up of three cones: Kibo, Mawenzi, and Shira.  Kibo is the summit of the mountain and the tallest of the three volcanic formations.  While Mawenzi and Shira are extinct, Kibo is dormant and could possibly erupt again.  Scientists estimate that the last time it erupted was 360,000 years ago.  The highest point on Kibo’s crater rim is called Uhuru, the Swahili word for “freedom.”  The mountain is also known for its snow-capped peak; however, scientists warn that the snow might disappear within the next 20 years or so. #2 Victoria Falls Located on the border of Zambia and Zimbabwe, the Zambezi River cascades ...

  #1 In Bolivia, Ecuador and Peru, guinea pig is eaten as a delicacy   Although many of us may think of guinea pigs as pets, in the above Andean countries they have been eaten for centuries.  Traditionally, guinea pigs have long been used in highland communities.  They were bred in large numbers to provide additional heating in houses, used in shamanic rituals and eaten on special occasions.  Guinea pigs are usually served fried, baked or roasted and look alarmingly similar to their living state they are even served complete with their gnashers.  Although guinea pig isn’t the most appealing dish to look at, many love the taste, claiming the meat has a gamey flavour and the crispy skin is comparable to chicken.  Many visitors to the continent want to try guinea pig whereas others are dead set against it.  Where do you fall on the spectrum? If you were visiting one of these Andean countries, would you try guinea pig? #2 Nine countries in South Ameri...

The city is built on low, alluvial plains and adjacent upland hills.  ...
