It is tempting to dream of an adventure tour to the most hidden corners of the earth, uncharted regions where time, for once, really does seem to have stood still; where real discoveries can be made; and where exploration is accomplished, not on an internet search engine, but the hard way: on foot, by mule, or in the company of native-speaking guides.
