If one is willing to look off the beaten track, an interesting and diverse culture will reveal itself. There is plenty to see and do here too, and the country's enormous size means that it is possible to find almost any weather conditions, any landscape and any people! It's also a pretty easy country in which to travel. It's geared up for visitors, and most of those are impressed with the superb customer service and friendly people.
