Travellive 7 - 2018

Dear Valued Readers, July is when the world is fighting hard to find the champion of World Cup 2018, but for the Thai people, the survivability of the junior football team after being lost for 10 days in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave is a true victory. In Travellive’s July issue, there is a journey full of willpower from the couple known as "rolling potatoes" who conquered the bustling roads of Kyrgyzstan by bike. They, and other lonely travelers, are sometimes considered crazy - but they don’t ride just to go, they also ride to learn the lesson of capacity and power, even when all energy seems exhausted ... Another highlight of this month is Travellive’s realization of an objective: selecting amongst the new hotels and resorts beginning operation between the end of 2017 to early 2018 in order to create the best list according to special criteria and with the purpose of helping readers make the right decision that best suits their interests. Getting through hot July, you may want to leisurely enjoy life “à la parisienne”, or at least, experience amusing moments while enjoying a cup of iced tea each afternoon on the sidewalks of Hanoi. Equally interesting is experiencing one of the 31 newest hotels and resorts updated by Travellive. And Travellive’s July issue has enough life rhythm for you! EDITORIAL BOARD

Dear Valued Readers,
July is when the world is fighting hard to find the champion of World Cup 2018, but for the Thai people, the survivability of the junior football team after being lost for 10 days in the Tham Luang Nang Non cave is a true victory.

In Travellive’s July issue, there is a journey full of willpower from the couple known as "rolling potatoes" who conquered the bustling roads of Kyrgyzstan by bike. They, and other lonely travelers, are sometimes considered crazy - but they don’t ride just to go, they also ride to learn the lesson of capacity and power, even when all energy seems exhausted ...

Another highlight of this month is Travellive’s realization of an objective: selecting amongst the new hotels and resorts beginning operation between the end of 2017 to early 2018 in order to create the best list according to special criteria and with the purpose of helping readers make the right decision that best suits their interests.

Getting through hot July, you may want to leisurely enjoy life “à la parisienne”, or at least, experience amusing moments while enjoying a cup of iced tea each afternoon on the sidewalks of Hanoi. Equally interesting is experiencing one of the 31 newest hotels and resorts updated by Travellive.

And Travellive’s July issue has enough life rhythm for you!

A BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON IN CUSCO<br />

Starting from the small city of Puno, we passed through many areas bearing the stamp of the ancient Inca<br />

before we arrived in Cusco on a beautiful sunny afternoon. Leaving the boisterous and hectic bus station,<br />

we headed straight to the Munaycha Casa hotel in the heart of the old town. This hotel, located on a<br />

primary school campus near the central square, was small yet attractive. Crossing through the school yard<br />

to reach the hotel door we entered cozy rooms straddling a quiet courtyard; a flower-filled garden, woodpaneled<br />

verandas, and a small rooftop dining room overlooked the endearing old city.<br />

After checking-in at the hotel, our group eagerly walked to the square at sunset. We fell in love with Cusco almost<br />

immediately at Plaza de Armas square: a spacious plaza with fountains, chairs, and beautiful light poles. The<br />

square, surrounded by two-story houses adorned with arched terraces, works in harmony with the Roman Gothic<br />

architecture of the high steeped Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin located in the center, creating<br />

an elegant stage.<br />

Peru is particularly famous for its distinctive cuisine; Peruvian chefs skillfully combine world dishes with local<br />

techniques to create uniquely Peruvian restaurants. Nearly all of the top-rated restaurants are located in the Plaza<br />

de Armas area, in addition to American franchises such as McDonalds and Starbucks. The area around the square<br />

is also filled with various souvenir shops and travel agents.<br />
