Wojciech Fedoruk Profile

Travelling is my biggest passion. I try to spend every day of my vacation time (unfortunately, limited to 26 days a year) travelling. I travel mostly with my family and sometimes solo. I love going to remote places and always plan visiting as many WH sites as possible. Although sometimes they are not rewarding, in most cases visiting WHS gives me much better understanding of the region I visit.

I find this site very helpful in planning my trips to more difficult WHS and want to share my reviews especially on rarely visited ones.

Konso

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 10-Dec-22

Site visited in November 2022. During my trip to Ethiopia, I visited the village of Gamole, which is a living open-air museum and a monument to the culture of the Konso people. Within three lines of stone walls (once protecting against wild animals and invaders, today only of symbolic meaning) people live mainly engaged in farming on the terraces, which are a symbol of the region. Such terraces are commonplace in the Philippines, China or Vietnam, but in Ethiopia they are a real revolution - only the Konso have transformed the landscape in this way, other tribes have treated the mountains as a demarcation line, and only goats graze there from economic activities.

Sudd wetland (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 26-Nov-22

Sudd Wetland is the largest wetland area in Africa and one of the largest in the world. The gigantic wetlands of the White Nile begin just outside Juba, the capital of South Sudan, and extend all the way to the Sudanese border, some 1,000 kilometers away. I crossed the Sudd twice, sailing from Bor to Minkamman, and returning the next day after an amazing visit to the Dinka tribe (mentioned in the nomination file, although in the village we were in, the connection to the wetlands was hard to see). The boat ride to Minkamman took us over an hour. Along the way, we passed hundreds of canals, lakes and islands, most of which are floating.

Archaeological Complex of Toro Muerto (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 22-Nov-22

Coming from Nazca to Arequipa by car it is worth turning left and visiting some of the most interesting rock drawings I have ever seen. The site is called Toro Muerto (Dead Bull), but this name could be changed to almost any other animal - nothing can survive in this desert except perhaps a camel - but there are no camels in the New World. The petroglyphs are close to the village of Corire and the fertile valley of the Camana River, but in this part of Peru only a few rivers are suitable for life. It is enough to drive a kilometer or two to the side and you can meet there at most sand and rocks.

Zee Ain Heritage Village in Al-Baha Region (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 07-Sep-22

Zee Ain (Thee Ain) is a stone village built in the fashion of traditional villages from the region. Zee Ain is a model example of Saudi Arabia's approach to tourist attractions. It looks beautiful from a distance and should be one of the top attractions of the country - all stone, very photogenic on the slope of the mountain. I drove up to the village itself, left the car in a large parking lot and headed up the hill. There was a couple of tourists on the spot, and otherwise a complete void. No ranger, no souvenir seller, no signs of life at all! I walked freely between the buildings, but apart from stones and wood, there was absolutely nothing there - no written information

Farasan Islands Protected Area (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 07-Sep-22

Farasan Islands is the largest archipelago of Saudi Arabia. It can be reached by ferry from Jizan, and the ferries depart twice a day - around 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. I knew the ferry was free but had no idea if that included the car as well. It turned out so! This is probably the only place in the world where the two-hour ferry takes tourists with cars free of charge.

Tickets are booked at the headquarters of MACNA (The Maritime Company for Navigation), [...]
