Templos antiguos rodean las planicies del río Irrawaddy y las luces nocturnas iluminan los hermosos rostros de las mujeres pintados con “thanaka” mientras se dirigen a recoger agua del pozo local. Inalterable por los extranjeros, la vida en Birmania continúa siendo igual a lo que ha sido por siglos. Es un mundo aparte de todo lo que uno se puede imaginar: un paraíso para fotógrafos y un refugio de aventura para viajeros.
El turismo lentamente ha abierto las puertas de la fascinante cultura de Birmania, la cual ha estado cerrada a los ojos de los extranjeros durante muchos años, su amable y hospitalaria gente está deseosa de compartir su vida.
No importa si viajas en nuestro programa “Off the Map” junto al fundador de Rustic Pathways o perfecciona sus habilidades fotográficas en medio de los pueblos flotantes del lago Inle en el programa “Frontier Photography”, te darás cuenta que Birmania es un lugar que revitalizara tu mente y tus sentidos como ningún otro país.
dawn’s early light crests the easternmost Himalayas
awakening a Golden Land long isolated from foreign touch
a special place protected from outside impulse and western whim
its unknown history from mangrove coast to tropical forest interior
emerging in the light with a million adventures to offer
Amarapura fishers cast early lines atop their teak footbridge perch
saffron-robed monks rise for alms among Bagan’s 1000-year-old temples
locals flock to Yangon teahouses displaying their artistic wares
Intha boatmen pedal through Inle Lake’s floating gardens and water hyacinth
a colorful land of artistic flare and religious zest
ethnic tribes tied in native sarongs and turbans
home to Asiatic elephants and the lost red panda
ancient temples housing conquests of kings
this is Burma awakened with stories to share
This trip is sure to be a once in a lifetime experience. For years our photo staff has felt that Burma would be the perfect place for a workshop-style photography trip. Visual gluttony, warm-hearted people and a dynamic social history continually draw us back to this vibrant country. But as they say in Burma, everything has a time and a place. We’ve been patient (and so have you) and feel that summer 2009 is the perfect time to journey into this stunning country! more »
