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.

Moisés Ville (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 28-Mar-20

Argentina, like some other American countries, in late XIX century attracted a lot of immigrants, mainly from Central and Eastern Europe. Since the interior of the country was almost empty, they had plenty of land to settle and build their towns from scratch. The immigrants usually kept together, so they constructed towns similar to those in their homelands. After more than a century they are all assimilated and their towns look very Argentinian. Only some of the oldest buildings survived to tell the story about the origin of their founders.

Sierra de las Quijadas National Park (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 25-Mar-20

This place is quite far from the main tourist routes in Argentina, but our route ran from Cordoba to Mendoza and the park was practically on the way. So we decided to enter and we absolutely did not regret this decision. I don't think you can get there by any other means of transport than your own car, because the park itself is in a remote area - the nearest larger towns are 100 km away. After entering the park you have to travel a dozen or so kilometers along the dirt road and you have to do it with your own transport, because the park does not offer it. Admission to the park is free, only some guided tours are paid. But free trekking routes are enough to admire the beauty of this place

Sanmartinian Routes (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 24-Mar-20

The purpose of this nomination is to commemorate the expedition of General San Martin, who, after forming the Army of the Andes, crossed the mountains to free Chile, this time still belonging to the Spanish Crown. The nomination consists of six passes located high in the Andes, just off the border with Chile, as well as the El Plumerillo camp, located in present Mendoza, where the Army of the Andes was formed. Of the seven locations, I only visited El Plumerillo, which is by far the most easily accessible. There is not much to see there - several soldiers' barracks, period clothing and furnishings, San Martin's room, etc. The flags of Argentina, Chile and Peru - three countries that consider San Martin as a liberator - are waving in the center

Saviour Transfiguration Church and St. Sophia Cathedral in the town of Polatsk (T)

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 10-Jul-19

This is a very strange nomination. Belarus proposed two churches that now have nothing in common except being in the same town of Polatsk. The first one – Saviour Transfiguration Church – is one of the oldest and most important churches in Belarus. Now it is part of the complex of the Monastery of Transfiguration and St. Euphrosine, a bit far from the center. Judging from the outside, the church is the least prominent building of the monastery (it is also the most distant from the entrance). Its real value is inside, as the whole interior is covered with original beautiful frescoes. During my visit (June 2019) the church was closed for renovation but you could look inside. The best frescoes were also presented on billboards around the church

Churches of the Pskov School of Architecture

Wojciech Fedoruk Poland - 13-Jul-19

I visited Pskov at the end of my trip to Russia in 2016. I did not expect anything special in Pskov, although wanted to visit this city, with links to the history of Poland and famous city walls. And indeed, massive city walls were the first thing that was outstanding in Pskov. The second one was its kremlin (here called Krom) which was very small comparing to Russian standards (where usually kremlins are quite broad) but one of the niciest. But honestly I had mixed feelings with the historical center – although overall it was fine, it lacked integrity and historical buildings were mixed with much newer ones. It did not help that the weather was rainy that day and at the end I got all wet.
