The ocelot mother was killed by poachers and the cub was found in the jungle. Growing up accustomed to humans might also be a problem later on when the ocelot will eventually have to fend for itself. less

Being remote and far from the capital it was never found by the Spaniards and the site was quickly overgrown by the jungle. In 1911 explorer Hiram Bigam found this lost city and after National Geographic in 1913 did an entire inssue on Machu Picchu the city of the Inca came to the attention
of the world. The World Heritage designation in 1983 called it " an asolute masterpiece of achitecture". less

Their meat was eaten and the shells were used to make tortoise-shell trinkets. Their population dropped dramatically.
But here, the local residents of an ancient tribe, called the Nagua, have taken it upon themselves to become guardians of these fascinating creatures.

The Hotel was built on a hilltop on the plan of the ancient masseries, the old apulian farmhouses as a comfortable 4 star resort, a few steps from one of the most pristine seas in Italy.
Like the old farmhouses it has its own orchard where seasonal fruits and vegetables are grown for its kitchen.
Their family restaurant on the beach right below the hotel is a hot spot and serves the freshest local sea food.
From San Gregorio one can hire a boat to ride along the coastline which is dotted with Paleolithic caves and endless coves for bathing. The trip continues to Leuca and its lighthouse. This is the southernmost tip of the peninsula where the Ionian sea and the Adriatic sea meet.
If one is in the mood for culture the city Lecce is very close by. This is a jewel of a baroque city with dramatic architecture and a lively scene. Highly recommended.
