Ali's Guide to Rio de Janeiro
It has been several years since my last visit to Rio and, as I discovered, a lot has changed. Yes, there are still the iconic sights of Sugar Loaf and Corcovado but there is so much more to the city that a few days spent there only just scratches the surface. In the run up to 2016 Rio received a lot... Read more»

My trip included a visit to the south-west of the country, until a... Read more»
The monkey puzzle - a little history
The monkey puzzle tree (araucaria) is an ancient species, believed to have been one of the main food sources for dinosaurs in the Jurassic period (150 million years ago), and therefore a possible reason for the evolution of the long, elegant necks of sauropod dinosaurs like Diplodocus.
